Point of Return
Reading `Point of return' by Siddarth Deb. Quite nice, although he is, as is to be expected from an Indian writing in English, catering to a Western audience by talking about the depressing side of life in India. But I'll push on for now at least he isn't yet talking about nubile young goddesses bathing in asses' milk and mango juice............ or about Kama Sutra poses. Aaaaaaaaaargh, those bloody stereotypes make me mad!!

Reading is back in my life again, thanks to the train commute to and from work. Finished `Bridget Jones: The edge of reason'. Quite funny, although a bit hard to read after having seen the movie. Loved the interview with Colin Firth, though, a real scream!

Have got a movie to watch tonight _ `The Terminal' - Hanks and Zeta-Jones. I liked the story, hope the movie will be nice as well.

And finally,
Life is...
worrying about your (almost non-existent) moustache (to pluck or not to pluck) and then having that worry resolved by noticing that the lady in front of you in the train has one that is far more luxuriant, a black upper lip, so to say. I think I will wait patiently to reach that level.

Wait until you start sprouting hairs on your chin... and when they begin to add up to look like a beard, THEN worry! :)
Yeah, know the feeling with those kind of books, they'll do anything to portray our country as a place of snake charmers, elephants, maharajas etc... like we don't know a thing of modernization, industrialization... It hurts and enrages every one of us who know that that's far from the truth...
We had watched the terminal when it just came out.. I liked Tom Hanks.. I thought he did a good job (as always), and she looks great as usual :).. thought the end was a bit dragged on though...
