Good things & other good things
You know what feels good? Writing a post in the normal way. That would be using internet on your laptop and writing all this sitting with legs outstretched. While I still think it is unusual to use GPRS for the same on a mac as one’s primary connection (and only), but then nothing unusual would not make for normal. It took me a lot of effort to connect to the internet, a lot. There was nothing wrong on the settings from my side, nothing at all. Those wretched bastards made excuses which deserves another post. May their bosses give them hell, who in turn be troubled by their wives and may their children continuously pester them for expensive things.
This has strengthened my determination to set up an India-Mac community blog. People interested can mail me or leave their views in comments. Prateek (whom I must thank for helping out with the connection settings too) has agreed for the same. We do know about everyone being busy, but even if you contribute some articles, something is better than nothing, innit? I think I will start work on this after I complete my internship. This would be on 18th. 20th night is reserved for going to Ahmedabad. The morning of 21st reserved for buying and reading the one. I will be traveling eight hours each way so that I can read the book the day it is released. I could have got it the next day, but who wants that. If you think that I am among those crazy Potter maniacs, then FYI- I am one and proud to be one. Yeah so I should start the blog some-where around that.
Gotta go, just downloaded two eboks that I have been looking for a long time. I literally asked every bookshop in India, and there ain’t many bookshops in Dubai, no kidding. They charge as if you are not buying Hitchhikers Guide To Galaxy but looking for a ride to to the International Space Station. The books are the two that Jo wrote for charity. If anyone needs any of the HP books (including the extra two) then ask
A toast to mankind for inventing things like EDGE, GPRS, Mobile Phones, ebooks, and Harry Potter!

Nice to know that your life seems to have regained some semblance of normalcy!! And, I know yaar… books can get a lil steep… Anyway, about “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them” and “Quidditch Through The Ages” I saw them just day before, at the Landmark Store in Gurgaon, it’s in that mall right next to the MGF Megacity Mall… The store seems to be quite well stocked in that particular category… For, to me Harry Potter by itself can by itself fall into its very on category/genre…!!!
