a longish leanish patch

Has been a leanish patch, especially for my blog.

1. was outta town for quite a bit

2. and i bought a bunch of new books

a) "A hundred years of solitude" - Sucked BIG TIME. nother one of those overhyped but totally f&$#ed up books. the book had about 100 guys called jose arcadio and 200 females called remedios (spanning generations).You lose track of whos who, people from atleast 5 generations lived together. There were so many cases of incest that i lost count. PATHETIC. It even won a Nobel for literature iam told.

b) "Interpretation of financial statements" by Benjamin graham. concise and very educative. shud start putting some stuff to actual use after this.

c) "motorcycle diaries" yet to read

d) "how we got here" by Andy Kessler- i had the ebook, i bought the paperback just for kicks. possibly the best book ever written. a more detailed review soon.

3. Also met a few of the gang in chennai, all rooming and porning together just like old times. was shown the "aashiq bannaya aapne" video for the first time. the rest is, as they say, history ;)

4. Also bought a new Disney comic featuring Mickey, goofy, the ducks and my all time favorites - the beagle bros :)). This special issue featured funny lines at the bottom of every page including stuff like:

Q) What is the difference between an elephant and a biscuit ?

A) You cant dip an elephant in a cup of tea

i guess my present "sense of humor" is existent mainly due to exposure to such gems during my,erm, "formative years"
