I was back at Arizona bookstore today after days. I was hoping to find some book that would interest me. I usually need a book which grabs my attention fast, is usually about people, relationships and I am happy. When I entered the store I had no idea what I was going to pick up, so I made my way to the only section which interests me. Fiction. Maybe if you have guessed so far you will be able to guess the book I picked up too......but thats a far cry.
I started alphabetically and stopped at C. Yup, Mistress of Spices, by Chitra Divakaruni. The book caught my attention and I am 20 pages down. So I will not venture a review yet. I had read Rana Dasgupta's book for which he won a prize and the name of which is completely eluding me now. (Its some Plane to Tokyo or something) Though it started great, all the literary analogies had me in a whirlwind for a day or two. I think that book had the longest hangover on me becoz I could not digest everything in his stories or his writing.
I saw Yun hota to kaisa hota yesterday, thanks to Niyanta for having downloaded it. Its a good movie, different, and I think more striking if you have been through part of the process. The whole hype about coming to USA, the visa process, the plane journey..... I am homesick, waiting to get back home I guess. For someone who was known to run home at the slightest opportunity from Trichy, I think I have outstayed long enough from home.

Francis Bacon once said:"some books are to be tasted,some to be swallowed and only some to be digested":)
The roadless travled by Scott.M.Peck.. try it..
I agree with Shriram.... and ofcourse with Francis Bacon ;)
That bench reminds of something sad.. its empty.. and its winter..
Tokyo Cancelled, perhaps? Loved it, one of the better reads this summer - though at times, it swirled around a bit too much for me to fully comprehend :) I like his style, though.
