Simply Being | Simple Being

‘Swarg agar hain to bas hain yaheen par…’

Gave off ‘A Prayer for Owen Meany’ by Irving and ‘Rabbit, Run’ by Updike. Maybe I’ll pick them up later… Frankly, I don’t say that with too much confidence.

I completed ‘Of Human Bondage’ this morning. Plain loved the book. Truthful, courageous and … Out of adjectives, actually! I really liked it. It was very reminiscent of some other book I’ve read, don’t remember presently which one. Must pick up more of Maugham.

That book along with other incidents reinforce the belief which Shankar Mahadevan proclaimed breathlessly(!) in his song ‘Breathless’… ‘Swarg agar hain to bas hain yaheen par…’

Also got ‘The English Patient’ by Micheal Onadaatje, ‘The Farewell Party’ by Milan Kundera and ‘The Mummy or Ramses The damned’ by Anne Rice. Have never read Rice before; sounds like a fantastic read to me… I looked for ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’, didn’t find it… Also looked for ‘The Age of Reason’ by Sartre; should have completed it the last time I started on it! Damn!

Forgot to mention; finally got my new digicam. A Sony P-8; lets’ see how the pics materialise.
