Yesterday, I was really “over the moon”. And why not? My Book Review on Eragon (Inheritance Trilogy) by Christopher Paolini got published yesterday (Friday, July 28, 2006) in The Telegraph. And no it’s not TeleKids, which if you remember comes out in Thursday. It’s in the proper main pages of “Metro/Jharkhand”, which comes somewhere in between the entire paper. Parents are all ears…heh, heh. Let me see if I can get an online link to it.
I’m really ecstatic!
Then…
I got A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth from School Library, yesterday. It’s like real thick…a novel, after all. But I’m skipping many ineffectual pages…mainly dealing with politics; the other pages dealing about the Mehra family are pretty amusing, I must say.
Those of you’ve read the book, I’m sure you must’ve come across the personality of Kabir. Know what? I really liked that boy, and honestly wished that Lata would wed him…but I was really appalled and saddened by the fact that he turned out to be so unfaithful to her. Really disgraceful (and heartrending to me), as now that it comes to it, even I’d started to love him a lot…but life goes on, and I was clearly surprised by the way Lata overcame Kabir, got involved with Haresh and all…I could never have done that…I just know it…I’d have died out of heartache and angst…
Other characters of Meenakshi, Kuku, and you know the Chatterjis were OK. But I’d have wanted Seth to display better Bengalis (being one of them myself).
Maan. Hehe. Funny boy. I liked his first description but as he became more and more obsessed with that whore, Saeeda Bai or Begum whatever, I didn’t really maintain my likeliness for him.
Pran and Savita were soooo sweet! And the baby Uma too!
About Lata…sometimes I identified myself with her; sometimes I thought she was very unworkable for me. Whatever she was, I think she was this really inhibited girl, but vivacious when with friends…more or less like me…

3 cared to blot it off.:
whoa! let me tell u one thing out of my experience...never get into relationships now..its just going to destroy ur career and distract u....trust me...know what all my friends who were committed an year ago are not single and going through the ordeal of emotional setbacks...well if u r to take my words do fall in love and get serious with someone whom ur parents can approve. All those girls who are into relationships "chaar din ki chandni hai phir andhere raat hai" :))
Are they really committed or just passing time? they just wanna show off their modernity out of their naiveness
and congrats for the published article..
congrats.. another critic in the making :-)
