Lost...and not found!

I'm one of those people who cannot get rid of old stuff. My room is always crammed and my wardrobe, cupboards always are overflowing with all sorts of junk. It takes me forever to discard old clothes, even if they don't fit me. Reason is simple - there are always memories associated with everything. So, if I throw something away, I'm afraid a little that I might forget all those sweet-sour memories.

Today, I have spent like two hours searching for few of my old books. I had found some old comics, paper clippings and books after a long, sweaty search. Tragic part of the story - I think I lost 4 books and an old comic collection! I have been moving around a lot these days, must have lost them somehow during the shifting. Those stupid movers and packers! This is another bad habit of mine; wherever I go I take almost all of my things. 

Bah! This morning I was so happy. Talked with two of my favourite people, mom brought jalebi and the weather was good - warm and breezy. In the afternoon I started this stupid project and ruined it! Ok, I' don't want to crib now. Wish somehow someone will find those books for me! Waah!!

The thing is I don't think I can buy these books again. Let me list them first -- Harry Potters 1,2,3; "Northern Lights"; Marvel Comics - five, bound together; Indrajal Comics - sets of 3 and 4 comics, bound. Harry Potters are not a problem. Marvel Comics - I think I can find but I'm not that worried about them cos I have a few others. These Indrajal Comics are so damn rare. They were a gift from a family in the past. Luckily, I found them online; ebooks, not the real ones. Glass half-full at least! But that Northern Lights!! I have been reading that since I was little. Yeah, little! I have scribbled all over that book when I was a kid. I thought I might find this one too somewhere on the net. I started Google-ing and it added a little more despair. Apparently, there are so many books with the same name now. I couldn't find the one that I'm looking for. This one is ancient. So ancient, the people in that book were still using thee, thou and thine! It's basically a collection of short stories. The stories of the north. You know, with ice, kayaks, winter, blizzards, minks, elks and sooo much more!

I'm feeling so lost! 

Tomorrow I'll search again. Maybe, I wasn't thorough. Hanging onto that tiny ray of hope! Sigh!!
