Return of the king

Bravo.

Jeffrey Archer returns to his best form in a modern day twist of an age old classic.

I spent the night reading this thriller that turns into a raging inferno and then suddenly reminds us that revenge is a dish best served cold. I'll say no more but just this.

The master is back. One of the quotes of the book: "Life is neither black nor white, simply different shades of Grey."

A Prisoner of Birth

(Woah)man in the mirror

I am a fan of the self-portrait. Always have been.

Which is why I was thrilled to see this on wired today:-

Enjoy.

Busy bee

Wow, its been one rough Friday for me.

All over the place and it promises to be a weekend without relaxation as well. So tired.

Life of an adventuress

I don't know if there is a word called adventuress but I'm gonna run with it cause thats the only thing to describe my friend Stacey.

I met her through a cousin of mine who gave her my info just in case she needed some help in the other city that never sleeps (Mumbai) and oddly enough, she's never really needed it.

Anyway, I will be hard pressed to find anyone having more or as much fun anywhere as she does. From running marathons to hanging out with tigers to learning the sitar, she does it all. But today she topped it all in a crazy conversation.

Here is the gist:-

me: so, take part in any new marathons or learning any new instruments?

Stacey: hehe nope

nothing like that recently

me: what? nothing? not the answer I expected... I would have thought you would have been running around in Tibet playing with tigers right now

Stacey: well, next month i'm climbing everest

so i'm planning that now

this weekend i'm in delhi, tuesday i'm in bangalore, next friday i'm in goa

no time for instruments

Just insane. You rock. Cheers to more insane fun.

Quotes of the day

Sometimes you just have to take the leap and build your
wings on the way down.
