Which of the following do I read?

Hi all..
Last I was starving for some good book to read..Was vetti too...But I dint get one.
Now I got work to do. But there has been a flood of books, which one shall i read first?
--------->God Father-Mario Puzo
--------->If Tomorrow Comes-Sidney Sheldon
--------->The Brethren-John Grisham
--------->Love in the Time of Cholera-Gabriel Garcia Marquez

My personal Choice is God father...What say?

u can go with the list as u have written.

If Tomorrow Comes - best works of Sidney, but with the all time fav. plot (loss of innocence, take revenge.. kinda' stuff.. peppy girls type) but exciting.

The Brethren is not that great,
I still haven't finished 'love* cholera', so Brethren comes a first choice before it ;-)

ps. romba vetti'a iruntha en kelkiku padhil solliyirukkalam :-(

If tomorrow comes is the best Sydney Sheldon novel I had read so far. Most of his novels will be like Tamil movies,i.e, u can guess the villain by 30th page.

but this one is very different

hi fellow Coimbatorean !! First time in ur blog !!

By da way, Love In The Time Of Cholera would be my choice. GodFather has an awful climax.. Rajinikanth Movie maadhiri irukum.. One man heroism and verum masala !!

I'd go with the popular opinion about reading god father first..

U ll simply love this stuff provided u haven't seen the movie b4 and u dont know the plot or the story..even otherwise it is a good read.. u ll be captivated with the italian famiy...

i dont know much about Cholera.. heard much but havent read it.. so not much to comment on it..

but id suggest a small change in ur order.. read brethren b4 sheldon... it will give u a difference between reads...

if trow comes is a regular sheldon stuff.. same plot.. locale and environ's differ.. same old story in a different place.. that s all...

and can u send me "love...cholera" by email... i ll send u a mail rite away..

Messy!

You could call some days happy, some sad, some even in-between.   For me, today has been a messy day, till now.   After breakfast, I decided to have a lime & mint juice, and somehow manage to feed my salwar too.   For the afternoon lunch, the soup I had was coriander & garlic soup. I am this person who cannot talk without gesticulations. I was rattling a lot of non-sense to Vidya, my team-mate and friend, while having soup. No prizes for guessing, I spilt the soup all over my salwar and some on Vidya’s too. Yikes. Before you start wondering what a messy person I am, I usually concentrate on my food religiously, not letting go off even one morsel’s taste away. I love eating tasty food, and consciously enjoy the gustatory sensations they transmit.   Now here I am, smelling of a combination of Eva Deo + Archies Chill! Perfume + lime + mint + coriander + garlic.   God bless my cubicle-mates.

Lokmanya Tilak and a young couple

Date :Sometime in December 2005 Time :11:00 Pm Place: Aboard the Lokmanya Tilak Kurla Express train Once when I was travelling back to Cbe, this happened. I was alloted a side upper berth....Nearby there was a young newly wed couple...ONe of their seats was right under me...and the other was in the adjacent bay, side lower. When I was about to start to the slumberland...that newly wed guy told me, "i dont have my mobile now, could you please keep an alarm in your mobile for 3:00 AM and wake us up..We have to get off at Salem" "Ya, OK..no probs...", I told. And the wife slept in the side lower under my berth and the hubby in the adjacent bay... At 3:00AM, my mobile Sang its "we will rock you"..I promptly woke...Tried to reach the girl from my berth itself and wake her..It wasn't possible...So i got down, woke that girl up..and went back to my berth... I kinda lost my sleep. I heard the girl getting up and waking her hubby...he told, "Salem is half ...

What a year!

Hi folks, After my starting to blog, this is the longest hiatus I've taken, not without reasons though. Lots of changes in life this year and they gave me a hands full. Used to be in India. Not anymore. Used to be working. Not anymore. Used to be single. Not anymore. In a span of 20 days in July, I got married(to my best friend), quit my job, moved to another country and started going to school for my Masters studies. So, you see, I had little time for everything else. Initially, I started blogging to share/record my experiences, ramble about any random feeling I might go through, just to yap any sense/nonsense. But now that I have my hubby to whom I do all these things to, blogging has not been so very necessary for the same purposes in the recent past. But I do want to keep writing. Maybe with a different flavor. Here's a hi5 to my restarting blogging!
