long time ....huh!!!

I cant exactly attribute the delay in posting an artricle ..maybe 50% lazy and 50% reluctance after the treatment i was meted out for my last article.. but after consistent threats that i would have to make way for someonelse in their blogsville(who will threaten me like my frnds...)I refused to give up and was waiting for an inspiration .. Alas it never came ... and after convinced that it will not be around for sometime.. i started to wirte a bit hastily.... i will write the salient features of my summer..book "American Summers" (John wright way da..) To start with I donot want any controversies abt my book like Jaswant's or Wright's so please understand a disclaimer will be displayed if u try to create a controversy....

I started my summer as any child would... anticipationg lot of fun and little else to do... but my Faculty had other plans... asusual plans went hayway.. deadlines came like hurricanes and stuff.. but being the cool person iam i always had time to buy a monthly pass at BLOCKBUSTER and started reading Fiction stuff ...(on the advice of mah sweet cousin...Vyju...) .. I started with War of worlds.. and wondered when will it turn into a relaity.. my wise frnds told " Soooooon " then came Munich.. which was a gud movie.. after seeng which I thought If only we(Indians) had an equivalent to Mossad in working.. then atleast dying for a country would definitely make anyone proud..
"eye for an eye holds gud" I guess... even in our case..where scores of civilians are killed for just living their lives in a normal fashion..
"Crash " came next although it was a gud movie I failed to get through it.. coz.. i did not understand the message .. he portrayed the different sections of people in US really well...
I could go on and on..but i guess ppl will be bored and wouldn't mind posting brickbats to me.. saying they were busy and so do the honours myself... ridiculous isn't it..???
coming to the fiction stuff.. I started my summer with "Da Vinci Code" and followed it with "Angels and demons" and " digital fortress" all written by Dan brown.. Then Jeffrey Archer caught my eye with "Not a penny more and not a penny less " I coninued with him to "Kane and Abel" and still not sure if i read his best and went to "Honour among thieves" . Meanwhile i have something interestng to tell you guys.. as an offbeat thing I read Jhumpa Lahiri's "The Name sake" which according to me is one of the best.. i was so immersed in it that I started to hate the name Moushumi itself... coz.. she cheats on her husband in the novel..poor gogol ganguli.. unlike sourav ganguli.. lives with it...
rest of my summer was spent on enjoying delicacies courtesy: Atlanta restaurants.. I spent some time with my cousin in Atlanta the olympics city.. and the saddest of all another birthday of mine has passed ..so sad na.. I was surprised when my professor quipped.. so, Ravi how is it being a year older?? have u started enjoying being old..??? no guesses .. of waht was the reply..

So all in all I had a good if not great summer ..as always eagerly looking forward Fall ..hope atleast it is "GREAT".. wish me guys and gals.. dont you..???
