one month one day

thats the time since i last blogged. sorry to say this...but it hasnt been an easy ride. i will get back with details soon. in short....i havent been the luckiest guy. fell ill, took some time to recover. not ill enough to be bedridden, but ill enough to suspend activities like blogging.
i am not too sure my lucks gotten better, so wont comment on it right now. will wait till i tide over things and then write an account.
Read lot many books over the last one month. the ones that struck me as being superb:
1. Fahrenheit 451: superb, awesome...if you haven't read this, i take the pleasure of being the one who introduced you to a good book. This one makes a lot of sense today. I feel the message is not against censorship by the government, but rather self-censorship by people in order to be politically correct and so that everyone is happy. share your thoughts.
2. galapagos: pretty good read. liked the satire.
3. life of pi: brilliant...but some parts of it were kind of stretched out. but yann martel does a good job of keeping us glued to the book.

saw quite a few decent movies too: one was catch-22. not as great as the book, but i loved the effect of the opening scene. something that the book couldnt do. another was "y tu mama tambien". HOT. saw the rated version, cant imagine what the unrated one is like. but i liked the presentation. so different from hollywood. an easy narrative style of presenting. liked it.
