How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog! - Emily Dickinson. Golf, Travel, F1, College Football music, reading, movies - especially those offbeat ones...

Nidhi - This movie has obviously moved you enough that this review has come pouring out! Good review... - reminded me of 'Love Story' by Erich Segal. I'll include this in my list as a 'see w/significant other..' - to win some brownie pts... :-)
Nidhi - Thanks for reading and your comments. Mayuri - Glad you liked the review. I owe this one to you.
khulamunh - thanks. Its good to know that review was to your liking. Some folks do not like to read books and I wanted to cover as much as I could in this review to spread awareness of Greg's work.
arunda - thanks for your comments. Of all my reviews to date, I think this one I had to post. If nothing to spread awareness of how one individual is making a difference. Regards, Arun.
Sarvesh - Thanks for your comments. It is worth a read. Since you are a fan of the movie, did you know that Harper Lee was so emotionally moved after seeing Gregory Peck's portrayal of Atticus that she presented him with her father's watch? Sidd - Thanks for your gift. I'm glad you liked the rev read more...
Mayuri, Nice review. Will try to follow your reviews from now on. I will certainly add this book to my list... -Arun
