04-12-2007: Goodbye Mr Vonnegut

Read today that Kurt Vonnegut had passed away yesterday. It was only about 10 days back that I bid farewell to a monday with his doodle. Today I bid farewell to Kurt even though his books will continue to intrigue me for a long time to come.

03-07-2007: Magically Realistic

I read Salman Rushdie. Why?

Because I relate to him as an Indian.

Because I relate to him as an Indian living abroad who has had a chance to get an outside-in view of the great subcontinent.

Because I like the way he has changed the contemporary English literature landscape with blending in Hindi and Urdu into the so-called Western man's idiom.

Because I like Sufi mysticism and borderless story-telling.

Because 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' captured my heart and imagination more vividly than anything else.

Because his non-fiction essays are full of life, rebellion, originality, imagination and reality.

Because we all need some magic in the reality called life.
