Cottages
Reading a book by Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk is like waking up
from a deep, restorative slumber with evanescent images of your
dreams that bring a wry smile to your face.
And that is how you will feel in this cottage….refreshed, relaxed
and with a sense of purpose.
We’ve all grown up on James Hadley Chase thrillers with their racy
covers. This was his first book written mostly over weekends.
So we hope, this cottage will inspire you to pick up the pen to
secure some random thoughts!
This cottage has been named after Swedish author Henning Mankell’s
surly cop Kurt Wallander who believes that “reality is rarely
reasonable “
Tucked away in a peaceful corner , this cottage helps you suspend
reality and imagine yourself in a remote part of the world…much
like Wallander’s Ystad in Sweden.
It’s hard not to get entranced by Japanese author Haruki Murakami
who says, “if you only read the books that everyone else is
reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."
Perched on a grassy terrace, this cosy tent overlooks some lovely
views. And don’t be too surprised if you find a sheep grazing
right outside your window.
A collection of recipes by the inspirational American chef who
adapted sophisticated French cuisine in a hearty and forthright
manner.
An intelligence officer during World War II, she tops our list of
unusual people who didn’t let anything come in the way of
mastering the difficult art of cooking, late in life.
We have a warm and welcoming kitchen where the constant endeavour
is to satisfy your taste buds.
Julia Child said: “Life itself is the proper binge.”
The complete title is Falling off the Map: Some lonely places of
the world written by our favourite travel writer Pico Iyer.
A collection of essays on countries as far flung as Paraguay and
as forbidden as North Korea…the book transports the reader to a
world of curiosity, eccentricity and irony.
In our Common Room, however, you can play a game of monopoly, sip
a glass of Ramji’s freshly made kanji or just idle away.
