  1. They lov if u r a smiling, successful taxpayer. But ur fears, tears, failures, sweat and sins? Who'd take em? World loves u in just slices.

  8. @abhilashram Thanks for asking. It's a short piece (5000 words) for a collection of stories in English to be published next year. Yes, new.
  9. Three full days of rewriting was such a joy. Finished a new story in English. Hope a fresh look at it won't break my heart.
  10. Oh boy, it's the ultimate Swedish checkmate! A US Prez gracefully gheraoed to rein in the arms lobby. I call it the taming of the shrewd.

  14. Rain. Lazy. In room with books and black tea. Non-fiction writing in progress. Phone in mute. Peace. Had lunch at a friend's home with kids.
  15. Only if you got time to wallow in, here's an interview of mine 4 a quick read: http://bit.ly/h41f4 Feedback, if any, would be enlightening.
  16. Reading Philip Roth : 'There's no remaking reality,' she told him. 'Just take it as it comes. Hold your ground and take it as it comes.' Ya!
  17. Began writing my third screenplay today; polishing a story pitch to New Yorker; missing my wife; rain or no rain I'll have rum tonight.
  18. Prepared my own syllabus for literary studies. Got around 350 books to chew on. God, bless me with a good memory and a strong heart. U game?
  19. Hannan Binth Hashim. My god!
  20. Tonight I sleep in a 75 year old Chettinad mansion. Will the ghosts of the raja Chettiars and their women give me company? Awaiting..
