LOL, life is busy. Plus this screwed up economy drives me nuts sometimes. Life is very very difficult right now. :-) But not all that difficult. Just waiting for things to get a tad better.

hmm... I have to talk about something off topic here. Although the review was very useful, it was not that useful for me right at this moment :-) How did I stumble upon your review?

lol... that was a great review.. ;-) My experience has been that most people who leave these what I call 'generic' comments are those who haven't bothered to read the review. They are leaving the comment out of 'obligation'. I do comment out of obligation too. But then I make it a point to re read more...

I loved the book too. One of my friends strongly recommended it to me. I didn't complain one bit. I agree with you that author seems to lose the fervor in the later parts of the book. About the chemistry between Hassan and Amir. But as you said it may be intentional. Either way, I felt author wa read more...

So today the Supreme Court saved face of the inept home ministry led by Honorable Shivraj Patil. If Shivraj Patil had been such a failure in any corporate, he would have been shown the door by now.

Sad!! When I argue with my friends you believe in Marxist Socialism, I use this as an example. Socialism has never worked and it will never work because it discourages people from working hard.

Sonika- I talked with Prasad over the weekend. He did read 3 Mistakes of My Life and he did not like it. He said it is too bollywood type...

Hi Kirti, I am not a celebrity or anything. I am just one of those lesser mortals whose junk people liked. :-) Well, I did not struggle to finish the book to be honest.

Hmmm This is an age old debate. Ethics/Morality vs freedom to chose. Personally, I am against abortion, unless the infant or the mother has some serious health issues. At the same time, I think that everybody should have a right to chose. Who are we to tell someone if they should have a kid or not. read more...

Alright! Two things impressed the hell out of me here. First the review. Amazing! I have been a huge fan of Javed Akhtar, the poet and Javed Akhtar, the script writer.

Sonika, That I see that diary seems to be the new thing here right now... more than reviews. It kind of sounds like blogs... The reason I left the weekend job?

Hi Vishal, So good to see you after a long long time.

Hi Sonika, Rarely do you leave a 2 paragraph comment - so I feel privileged today. I am telling you, I am willing to bet, the book will have more impact on you than me. I think the main reason for this impact is that you and I want to see a hardworking person become successful in the end. But read more...
