The "MUST" list

Work again had put me off blogging for some time.I travelled East last month, the entire
IIT-Kgp thing turned out to be a big dampener but then had a lot of fun.Coffee in Communit Bengal..and the Joshi-man.I think of Joshi and I don't stop laughing till my stomach aches.I missed seeing Cal with the other guys as I had my journey back from Kgp itself.

MUST-haves for the season:

The OUTLOOK TRAVELLER's fifth anniversary issue.The issue stocks in some breath-taking photographs from Raghu Rai and the ilk and some invigorating articles from the likes of Pankaj Mishra, Dalrymple et al.There is also an interesting piece on the Select Book Shop of Bangalore which to say the least is paradise for an incorrigible bookworm like me. The origins of this malady are clouded in my brain by the ravages of time but the intensity with which it envelops me amazes me to no end. It was Groucho Marx who once wistfully remarked, “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read”.That pretty much sums up all there is to say about man’s two best friends.There I go again, so I must stop here.

Read this on the Select Book Shop from The Hindu.

Digit, the computer magazine is also celebrating it's fifth anninversary and has packed classics like Charlie Chaplin's The Kid and Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much with a host of the regular paraphernalia.A good deal to say the least.

Also, Google is discovering Shakespeare in a new light.Check this out.Here comes, Google Shakespeare. And that brings me to the just gone-by Caferati, which was great fun.

Also check out, the just concluded Hay-on-wye Festival.

MUST-sees for the season:

Also watched Amelie and Lock , Stock and two Smoking Barrels.Hera Pheri's sequel is a complete rip-off of the latter.

And I am really looking forward to Suhasini Manirathnam's Reading between the Lines on Tuesday.

I am hooked on to YouTube these days and l leave you with this funny video from the site.
