So, the weekend didn't turn out bad after all. A couple of my colleagues come down to Banagalore for a training session and they were insisting that I show them around Bangalore. Considering the fact that I myself haven't been around the city much, I think I did a good job showing them around MG road, Vidhan Soudha, High court and Cubbon Park. I myself haven't been to most of these places in years.
Saw Chameli late night Saturday on TV. Read a bit. Sunday was spent in cleaning the house and rearranging the space that I call My Kitchen;) Shopped a bit for stuff too. The evening was spent at NASA on MG road.
I have been reading Shantaram since august now. I wonder why it's taking me so long to finish a book that's so good. Besides it's literary brilliance, it's written from the heart. The thoughts expressed are so real. There's so much of truth in it....kinda difficult to remember it all. Here's a small piece at the end of part 2; How Sad and true!
" Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears. In the end, that's all there is: love and it's duty, sorrow and it's truth. In the end, that's all we have - to hold on tight until the dawn"
Ah! The sweet pain of love!

1) Rahman DOES create absolute magic with Swades...listen to it alone, when you are in a mood to relax...its awesome..one of my fav Rahman movies....
2) Shantaram is on my 'to read' list for a long time now..lets see if I get my hands on it this holiday season...it 'sounds' really good....;-)
shantaram is one of my favorite books ever. I can't wait for the movie starring Johnny Depp and directed by Peter Weir. Mumbai needs to be immortalized :)
