I started reading it on the road itself. I was so engrossed in the story, I didn’t realize that I was walking in the middle of the road and had been causing a huge problem for the commuters and other traffic.
All the people ‘shouting and honking’ from their vehicles did not catch my attention. It was only when someone came and literally dragged me from the center of the road. I understood what I had done.
Out of shame, I ran from that spot as fast as my legs would carry me. From that day on wards, I have never read any book on road.
