I remember reading a book about passengers at an airport (JFK, if my memory serves me right) who are caught in a terrible snowstorm and are cut off from the rest of the city/world. Something in my brains say’s it was an Indian author. Not Tharoor…. or is it? Lemme find that out.
P.S: Might be routed through London now.

A person very close (and dear) to me say’s that it has to be black or white with me. What she means is I have two reactions, and they do not face each other. North Pole, South Pole. She says that my “either I love something or I loathe something” attitude is detrimental not just to self but others too.
Well here’s the thing, I say it as a I see it. If something catches my eye and tugs at my heartstrings, then it’s in. If it makes me put my hands squarely on my hips and in a gay”ish” tone say aloud”hmmm, well, at least it comes in the right color”, out!
No “mmm, kinda” or “OK, will do”. I love it.
Gotta go, flight just got announced, O Hare not happening, been rerouted through to Dulles. Hope I make the connecting flight to Frankfurt.
I hate it

There was a time
I used to read
books and newspapers,
advertisements & annual reports
study guides and trivia material
And then came a time
I stopped
to read
Now I scan
blogs
because I can
the internet is a repository
but one blog to me is satisfactory
redff, hindu and deccan
can’t appease
which one blog can
give me a strong title and I am pleased
Don’t get me wrong Am a avid reader, if not a voracious one. Heck! I even cancelled my newspaper subscriptions and resorted to reading the happenings on e-papers! Then came the blogs, sifting, selecting, stocking surprising, shocking and simple stories. Why then?
Yawn!
The day is spent.
Marathon sessions of the quirky Adrian Monk at what he does best, mumbling and solving cases. Kahlua, on-the-rocks thank you very much. And a first look at Heroes, on their quest to save the world.
Monk does air on India tele and I had watched the season 1. Was pretty much hooked onto it. Underdog that I am, I am for the underdog, Sucker!
Anyways, as I have given away my tele and have substituted it with socialising (read: hit the pubs and guzzle on beer while staring at the tele at the bar) I welcomed monk with unblinking eyes.
Kahlua – Sip on it.
Heroes. Well what can I say, am watching it for the first time and have started from episode 5 of Season 1. Heck, I tuned in a little late but that’s OK, I have visualized all the previous episodes just by reading the synopsis of the episodes on IMDB.
I like Hiro (Nakamura). Underdog anyone? Hope to see the Indian character soon.
Save the cheerleader (Yeaaaaaaaah, hooo hooo). Save the world, just as well.
Happy New Year.
Stayed in on the eve, was pouring outside. Had no company except for the 2 corona twins. S called on the dot. A good beginning, if I may say.
