Hand me a Figleaf

That is the title of the book by James Hadley Chase, which i completed today. Chase is one of my favorities, and i intend to read all his books, have completed few so far. His is a typical, hustling pot boiler with suspense, drama, murder, mystery and little bit of sex thrown in. He typically writes of the under dregs of the world.

Easy Run - Saturday, 30th January 2010

Did an easy run of 31.22 minutes today, perforce had to cut down my run due to an impending cold/cough. Just to keep the momentum going.

JD Salinger

The second in the line of famous authors passing away this year JD Salinger also has a cult book to his name "The Catcher in the Rye". Just like Erich Segal previously, Salinger achieved life time fame from just one novel.

Awards

The awards season is upon us, frankly all awards have been devalued a notch now. If last year's Nobel peace to Obama was a bad joke, then the previous year's shared Nobel Peace to RK Pachauri headed IPCC is a worse joke.  Chatwal being given Padma Shri despite being in the bad books of CBI was a disaster, then I wonder what for was Saif Ali Khan given the Padma Shri, just for being an average actor. Watch out for more bloopers this year.

Sad Cypress
