    good thanks and you?

    I'll definitely check it out.

    I recently finished 'The Palace of Illusions" by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. I quite enjoyed it. It's the Mahabharata from a female perspective. If you're into mythology then it makes for an interesting read.

    'Maximum City' by Suketu Mehta is absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it.

    Hey Nikesh, Question... with copyright laws, do you need to register a copyright name if you want to publish something under a pseudonym, or do you just start using one? My grandfather writes beautiful poetry and would like to have some published, or I would like him to anyway, and he uses a psyeudonym but it's not registered anywhere or anything and he asked me to find out if there is actually an official process that you have to go through... do you know by any chance???

    I couldn't really get into the bad girl, it wasn't so much the content but the way it was written.

    Despise? really? I mean she might come off a bit wretched and hopeless sometimes but I actually really like her. Not just her poems, but her. She's was so brutally honest and obviously she was very fragile when she wrote most of her stuff. At least she channelled it into something!

    I wish I'd started reading her sooner! Some of it's a bit disconcerting, especially the poems in Ariel. Apparently she wrote it after a failed suicide attempt so it's pretty dark and nihilistic. But 'Tulips' I think is the best. Do you like her stuff? I think you have to be in the right state of mood to read it cos it's kind of cold and abrasive, like talking about how her heart's not big enough to care for her children etc. Obviously she had some degree of postnatal depression. Anyway, I'll stop rambling. lol.

    lol true. well as soon as I started reading his work I thought it might be something that'd be up your alley. I'll have to check out his other books at some point. I'm kind of caught up with Sylvia Plath at the moment :P

    Hey,
    Have you read any Pablo Neruda?
    I should probably just go through your shelf huh?
    I'm reading '20 love poems and a song of despair'
    Kind of awesome!
    You should check it out, I think you'd like his style.

    RE: REQUEST FOR SPONSORSHIP TO BUY A LAP –TOP

    Greetings in the name of Jesus. Overland Mission is particularly burdened to help many male and female Pastors who are serving God in rural areas of Tanzania who need it so much.
    I wish to forward my request to you for financial assistance to perchance a Lap-Top. It is proving to be expensive to use secretarial services to keep up with the necessary documentation required for setting up the proposed “Overland Mission”
    The cost per the Proforma Invoice is US$ 1200.

    Thank you for your Cooperation.
