Books and Life

Getting pretty bored with life.... nothing to do other than stare at girls and feel bad later... but what the heck , thats me. I felt that I was the one feeling like that but seems like my friends are not pretty far either.
I have a friend in Singapore who does some research in Analog Electronics etc and is waiting for a chance to get out of Singapore.
Same could be said about my dear friend Kini who has got tired of the sand and the camels in Oman ( cause there's nothing ellse there!!!)
Virdee.... no idea , looks like he is trying to become a surd after so long and before he forgot what a surd was....
Mike... he too is settling down...
Arun Subs... as usual ... nothing new...
and me ... sinking deepped and deeper into books. A llong list of books to kill time...
Arundhati Roy - Algebra of Infinite Justice... anyone who is following the Narmada Bachao Andolan and the book which essentially is a collection of political essays by her please do read it and then you will know the politics behind dams , people rehabilitiation and greed. Beautifully written book and would almost convert you into a socialist / non capitalist. The writing is very similar to Amartya Sen and is lucid and very well written.
Another book is called "Born Confused" by a first time writer called "Tanuja Desai hidier" nice one , only thing is that the first 150 to 200 pages are boring and the book picks up after that.
now its back to Ernest hemmingway and "Farewell to Arms" - beautifully written as usually and yet to complete it.
If you are into non fiction - go through - "Midnight in the garden of good and evil" and "Bridges of Madison County" the latter would make anyone wish they were photographers as well.

And till I get something new to do ... like work should revive the blog and continue what I do now - stare at girls and read books!!!
