But too many activities, and too little time, not to mention, lack of access to an internet enabled computer! There was a new project for me, a week-long trip to calcutta, a weekend visit to Bangalore...
Cal was on account of Suresh's exam- so it couldnt even count as a vacation! Its only contribution has been a huge dent in my savings! Managed to finish the Great Indian Novel while out there- and I did not find it ALL that great. Its a good book. But not a masterpiece, right? Gives a great perspective of Indian history- but it doestn really introduce one to anything new, does it? I liked it. But not as much as I had expected to. Probably, I heard too many good things about it. And, this idea of history repeating itself is not something I find really new.
Reading 'Tis by Frank McCourt now. Now, thats a great book! It has atmosphere. You almost experience Ireland in the early-mid 20th century. The life of a dirt-poor irish immigrant in New York. 'Tis is the sequel to "Angela's Ashes"- and that was really good, too! The author sub-titles 'Tis as "A Memoir"- I really wonder if he maintained a diary or something- otherwise, how could he actually remember what he felt at different points of time in life??
Got to go now- and hey, My cell's back! same number, so you guys can have the priviledge of being able to call me! :))
