ARR-Chinmayi duo storms through competition to stake claim for this year’s SOTY title. Compared to the peppy “Roobaroo” from Rang De Basanti (winner of SOTY 2006), 2007’s nomination is an authentic soul-stirrer, that grows on you slowly. All the best Rahman and Chinmayi – hope you bring out more such works.

Never knew Micheal Crichton wrote some 8-odd books as John Lange.  Excerpts read like Robin Cook’s. Hope its isn’t as bad.

Passing a day is like moving through a tank of molasses lately. Oh ya, my “to-do” list runs in reams. But I’m hell bent on whiling away this part of my life – and may be I deserve it.

Actually I’ve been doing nothing for a while now -except procrastinating and barely getting responsibilities off my back. Thats when I decided to get back to the best time-killer I’ve ever known – reading novels. But with the lousy library that I’ve access to and my pronounced “love and affection” for its staff, I was in a limbo.

Then came the savior in the form of Microsoft Reader. Its lite, can read and best of all free. Whats more, the file sizes that I need to download are ridiculously tiny – so much for the 75 GB download limit.

Now, I’ve got enough books to see me through the rest of the college days.

And with it comes the familiar feeling – guilt.
