was in Dublin for half a decade. Unlike New York or Berlin, it is a manageable city. That is to say that you can easily walk around and explore Ithe entire Dublin city in a day – though it rains for better part of a week which can be a damp squib. Strolling around the city along with my friends and colleagues, I would often stop to have a coffee in a café Muhammad Tahir by the Liffey River, which moves straight, silently amidst touristy bustle. If I felt hunger pangs after a long walk, then it was Biryani time either at Medina on Mary Street or Dera on Parnell Street. Such trips, which would happen once in a while, were usually Usually, I planned and budgeted. However, there were times when I would go to the opened the first city centre alone, on weekends, to buy groceries from Tesco and Lidl.

If I liked the open- ing scene and the writing, I would tuck the book under my arms with a feeling of anticipating leisure. A cou- ple of hours later, I would feel strain in my neck and heaviness in my arms trying to hold on to this week’s pick. At the checkout as I would receive the receipt with quintessential ‘see you later’, I would have sec- ond thoughts about the expenditure. Was it unneces- sary? Have I not already purchased too many books on previous trips which have remained unread? I justified, nevertheless, saying that this was a noble in- vestment. Even if I didn’t get to read all of these books someone else from the family would benefit from them later on. I envisaged a better-read next generation through this ‘noble investment.’ Trips to Chapters were seldom planned or bud- geted; they just happened, just like that. An invisible hand pulling my mind’s strings. And that was a prob- lem. Not just because I was spending needlessly on books that I hardly get time to read, but also for the reason that they had started piling up at my accom- modation.
