Pusruit of HappYness (purposefull spell glitch)

Life is as they say in the movie, Pursuit of HappYness... and yet people find it so difficult in the quest , but often they do miss the lil things that could give them that feeling.

Well it would appear rich for me to say in midst of my colleagues with their own share of trouble's with all three W's :P , but here we all are one, joined together by one, the elixir that holds the weak and the strong together in the same line.
But here I enjoy, listening to Pink Floyd or Red hot chilly peppers , we enjoy the beats, the jokes, the stupid slumbers, the clean up's.... and the endless call for night outs and ride in through the thick of the night, where to we want to go, still to get stuck in the circle of everyday pursuit, pursuit of happYness, but yet we fail to see its always there within the reach of our hand, lol, anyway after a hectic week, Im enjoyin this moment, this moment of liberation I could say, yet to find myself stuck, I thank, Akhil (my partner in crime) , Edwin , Amal, Sujith, Randeep, Suraj in the Ghost House

Just finding the magicin every moment that we live on, magic that eludes us in the trickery of life, its always there , but hard to find always. Just a simple smile or a stupid joke would always bring it up high :p

Anyway listening to Pink Floyd.... Wish you were here... guess thats the line to end with, here we go... endless in our pursuit... :D

Arrack and the Ego! :D

Header : A book shopping trip to Reliance timeout :D


First let me start with the nadan chollu.... '" Muttathe Mullayku Manamilla".

So here goes...

After a really tired week, even thou it was three days we had to finish a lot at work. Anway after working a lot in front of my system I decided that I am gonna stay away from my laptop and TV and decided to go find solace in a book. So I opened up my roommate's bookshelf, and saw Gravity's Rainbow and City of Joy. Both appeared really difficult for my overworked mind at that point and I decided to go for something light and witty. So there I go to Reliance timeout.

11:00 AM, Entered into Timeout!

11:03 Found this book called "Arrack in the afternoon" in the We recommend section. And instantly I took it (esp seeing the cover page :D ). I found the whole thing interesting especially the last line in the backcover. It was a line about how people tussle and try to get ahead of another.I turned the front cover and peeked if whether Independent or the Sunday telegraph had a word to say about it, something like "meticulously petrocious" (a ChaYoWo joke) :D Others forgive :p
But anyway I thought it would be something fresh.

And there comes the EGO! After reading the very best from Modern writers I felt a bit awkward to pick this one up, lol, I mean after Nabakov - Lolita, Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse Five and Joseph Heller - Something happened, I felt stupid picking this one up. I mean what if the book itself is studid and I would feel like a lame ass after reading it. My mind was like "Aye enthoke engeneya pedikya". Atleast oru National best seller enkilum vende...., She, ennalum! " lol
Anyway I took the book in my hand and with my high-headed soul decided to take a stroll through International Fiction and I found many interesting authors, and between them Mathew Menachery looked like a "Who am I".
I felt the Jose Saramago's and Ian McEwan's glaring at me with their Nobel and Booker Prizes captions glowing in bright red!! Lol , I mean they would have felt like I have picked a Perk XL Glucose from a shelf contained with Hershey's, Lindt etc.

I checked for other books and went on for an hour.

After an hour trying to satisfy my ego , I decided to give Mathew Menachery a chance and billed the damn thing.

My point is we are so saturated with western culture that we are not giving chance for the home grown talent, whether it be talents or brands or whatever be, Whenever something is labelled INDIAN, we say Oh righ! Where's the Lee showroom?

I feel embarrassed at myself that I too was a part of it, and for penance I thought il make it public, lol...

So I am off to those arrack smelling pages now and hope I do not feel like a lame ass after reading the whole damn thing,

Wait for the review thou :P
