Never one to back out of any situation, diplomacy,more than ever,gets me into a place where I can have the cake as well as eat it..quite literally as well!!! Observing people & trying to analyse them is a strong pull that I've never been able to resist.A wry sense of humour & highly opinionated on that one issue that is Indian - CRICKET!!!! Books are my favorite companions when am in a sombre mood. A true blue Gemini, my interests vary from the wierd to the paranormal.On a more saner level, am an avid sports freak with interests in Cricket, Golf, Rugby & Volleyball.Music makes my heart soar...The instrumental variety really soothes my nerves at the end of the day!!!! Reading also helps me retain the sanity!!!!

Thanx Arun.I do agree that the art of the matter is 'inspired' by Jeffrey Archer.My personal favourite is The Whispering Wind.
Thanx for your comments.You must read this book, Aarti.Seems like you are missing an all time classic!!!!

Hi Rashmi...U got a point in terms of the Bollywood Link.But the novel is not all that bad.Certainly worth a shot, if only for Archer being the author. Peace Arun
