Day 81-Planning Rolla's Bhunga

I have finally compiled from my reading and researching the colour board for my next project, the Tribal House or "Rollas' Bhunga" which I will post today. That's why this award could not have come at a more opportune time.

1st thing first, Thank You , Casey of Casey's Minis for this award.

When I translated "Pasajes de la Historia", it says "Passages of the Story" , an utterly romantic and evocative sentence. I really love how it sounds. And the 2nd half of this post is precisely this, passages to an India few has seen.

Anyway, I am to pick up a book that I have at hand, turn to page 161 and write the fifth sentence on that page here. Then I have to pass it on to five other blogs. I have at least a dozen books stacked on my side table on India, 3 of which even bear the same title , albeit by different authors:

None of them have page 161 so I picked another 3 books:

1st one is "The Maharajas (Treasures of the World Series), no words on page 161, only a blown up picture that looks vaguely like this

"Arts and Crafts of India" does not have pg 161 and neither has "India" except that the latter's last page is 160 which makes the back sleeve pg 161! I counted and the 5th sentence says "Printed in China". There we have it! And my 5 readers alongside a book I identify them with (and who also happened to be the 1st 5 people to comment on my carpet story post or their proxies so they are obviously readers if they read my long long stories and sentences) are :

Ara of Addams Family Mansion and her favourite book apart from the Bible. This is an edition she will love.

Rosanna of La Stanza Di Guiggiola and a book she featured written by one of her favourite authors. She buys books for the covers, just like me.

Sumaiya Mehreen of The Garfield Blog and from 1 bookworm to the other, I dedicate this book to her.

Mercedes of Liberty Biberty who loves making books and this is her best-seller!

Rebecca of Rebecca's Collections & the book the kids were reading in her 1950s schoolroom.

And now pages from "India" by Henry Wilson, here is

The reason why this post is so late is because I can no longer upload image using the "Load Image" icon. This is the alternative method I am using and it means I now have to execute 10 more steps (no exaggeration) before I can upload images. It also means that the picture does not click unless I manually add link to each of them.

Taking twice as long will mean halving my posts. May not be a bad thing if it means spending more time making than talking!
