the new word is RED

i just finished a very very unusual, exciting and an excellent book-MY NAME IS RED-by orhan pamuk. we would've probably never heard his name hadn't he got the nobel this year. but thank god we did. this book is one of the most interesting reads i have had in recent times. mystery...romance(no sex-sorry to disappoint!!!:)..lots and lots of historical facts and legends...and a very detailed look at the islamic miniaturist artistry style at the height of the ottoman rule in turkey..
if you trust me--
YOU MUST READ THIS!!!

i forgot to mention-the best bit about this book is the style.a very novel way of presenting a story-in the first person, but not as simple as u think.if u dont think so-pick it up for urself-its for Rs. 225 only!!!
btw...i got it as a gift-and i love it!!one of the best gifts in recent times!!!thank you!

new resolution!!!

another new year...
another new set of resolutions!!!!
seems like its time to join the rat race..
anyway..
on my to-do list this year:
1>movies-lots and lots of them-as always...we must increase our budget to meet increasing movie standards and appreciate the art in them..depictions of reality after all....(thats so lame!!!)
2>books-gabriel garcia marquez, hemingway, steinbeck - the holy trinity - i am coming for you.....

3>study--not that its the least important priority, but its there...yeah..it is...this year finally!!!!

4>try updating this webpage as often as possible..
what i cant figure out is what to keep writing in this..its not as if ppl follow my writin as something great...
maybe someday they will...

anyway..
cheers..
