I am a computer geek, working with an IT company in Bangalore. I think that curling up with a good book on a comfortable chair in the midst of a jungle must be Heaven. Add adrak chai and hot snacks - a pride of lions would have to eat me to make me pause. Spare time can usually find me among books. Fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, inspirational, even old newspapers (when using them for packing, they seem to contain lot of interesting items!). My current fad is Fantasy fiction. Wildlife and travel are my second time-eaters. Occasionally play chess, while listening to my family's rants for not helping them at home is a parallel pastime.

Hi, The book review was good, so didn't want to duplicate. The key characters that I liked are Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Faramir, Sam and of course, Gandalf.

This was a good review. I suggest that you also write about the author's writing style, depth of research etc. Dan Brown's research is amazing- he must have some great guys/gals with him!

Hotmail is better compared to Fastmail? Thats a joke, right? So many people have already replied to each point of the original poster that it is now redundant for me to do the same.

Hi, While Ganguly's form has definitely deteriorated, I don't think he is incapable of playing against the big teams. Remember his big knocks against England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka?
