in the news eh?

Had a very interesting day today. Logged onto blogger and while sifting through the comments on the last post found comments from herenow and teleute congratulating me. As it turned out, these humble pages got mentioned in an article featured in The Telegraph about Kolkata bloggers. They carried excerpts from a certain post i had written about Kolkata in general. It also sent some disconcerting thoughts scooting through my head as i realized that reporters were lurking around the corners. But anyways thanks to Nilanjana Roy for penning the article. I am grateful nevertheless. You may read the article here.

Other than that the last few days have been busy. Busy because of a million and one things happening all in a go. Finally picked up GGM from dd. My first Garcia novel. Hope he lives up to all that i have heard about him. Problem is being able to find some free time to get back to my reading-mode which i had regained after a loong loong while, till a few weeks back.


Plan to see War Of the Worlds next week with Jo. Hope it doesn't fall out just like a million other plans made with friends.

Heck! Life's already so difficult and now i have to begin disguising myself to keep being mobbed by fans and the media. After all, the fame-fairy (if theres one) just visited the doorstep. To top it all i've been bloody tagged!!
