I don’t have a reading nook like this.
When I build my hut with a bar & a library I’ll plan a nook like this one.

An example of continued focus & perseverance
The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.
Extreme origami: made with one sheet of square paper.
In the dojo of the origami purist, there are only two rules: The folder may use just one sheet of square paper, and the paper cannot be cut or torn in any way. Following these rules to make a figure like a peace crane, with four basic features—a head, a tail, and two wings—is relatively easy, and origamists traditionally proceeded by trial and error, unfolding and refolding a piece of paper until it started to resemble, say, a swan. For hundreds of years, origami’s most complex patterns topped out at 20 steps.
These days patterns requiring more than 100 steps are common. Some of that competitive acceleration is due to Lang, who transformed the art by writing a computer program that can generate the blueprint for ultracomplex origami sculptures. Even with digital assistance, figuring out the sequence of folds that will create a beetle and all its ornaments is a mathematical problem of staggering complexity. Still, the reigning champion of intricate origami is a 23-year-old Japanese savant named Satoshi Kamiya. Unaided by software, he recently produced what is considered the pinnacle of the field, an eight-inch-tall Eastern dragon with eyes, teeth, a curly tongue, sinuous whiskers, a barbed tail, and a thousand overlapping scales. The folding alone took 40 hours, spread out over several months.

Venu Gopala at Somanathpur.
It was hard to get this picture. Light in the temple was very feeble and shooting it with flash-on was not giving what I wanted. I turned-off flash, boosted exposure compensation, (I guess I kept ISO low too). It was hard to hold my hands steady, without my monopod, However I managed to use the Iron door to keep my hands still. Finally after some post processing I managed to get this.
Its a little noisy but, I am actually happy :-)

You can see many beautiful but, defaced/damaged sculptures of this kind all over India. A period of fundamentalist Muslim rule in India is said to be largely responsible for this mindless destruction. The period was followed by an oppressive colonial rule.
India, the great buffer that has withstood many shocks, has again emerged as a successful pluralistic society, a a thriving secular democracy. Wounds have healed, scars remain and hopefully will vanish. However today the mood of a resurgent India is to bridge the gaps and forge the way to a better future for all.
Roughly speaking, you can put me in the league of Pashupati & Pan. Otherwise I am a button-pusher (who is often wood-sick).
