Hey the ratio goes like this --- > mean ppl:cute ppl = 1:3. Thats why life is beautiful :-D
Im currently reading Salman Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories. I was prejudiced against him after the row over the Satanic verses and I took up this book too with much reluctance. And what I found there was a surprise. There are writers of all kinds and then there are the real writers- the ones whose writing is different. A different style, a different way of visualising things. Innovative, capturing. The ones whose books are remembered for their novelty. I think Salman Rushdie is one of them. At least this book tells me so. Now I'm tempted to read his other books. Are they as good as Haroun.. ? I now actually want to know what the Satanic verses row is all about.. Is he also a victim just as Sania Mirza is? But are the books available in market ?
My friend told me about a new fantasy series by Christopher ** - Eragon and Eldest. Thats also on my list of books-to-read.
I also saw the animation movie- Corpse Bride. Its good :-D .
A dialogue goes like this (umm the corpse bride wants to go "upstairs" to the living world so the dead old wise man asks her) - " Why do u want to go upstairs when people are dying to come down here ?? " :-D
I hope to watch Chronicles of Narnia this week :-D I AM busy!!!
Mind u I have also been working hard on what Im supposed to work hard on these days.
I'm a sucker for fantasy world.

hello... nice blog u have in here... salman rushdie might be a good innovative writer... i dont knw... but he is not certainly a "victim" like sania mirza.... sania mirza has her own opinion to choose is dress... but salman rushdie said that everythin changes as the world requires... such as the bible... his opinion is y not edit our Holy Quran a little as the world needs!!!... u see... i think as a general reader u can read his book, its alright... but what he said in "satanic verses" is not good at all... i hope u understand... oh yes visit my blog sometime..:).. http://aragorndhk.blogspot.com/
