    Hey, great! So, did the Himalaya sway when your read Lord Jim? ;-)
    How did you come to roam about like that? Did you do any writing? How's your novel coming on?
    Here things are pretty much as per usual. Translating, writing anything but the nvel I want to write. I need to get my life organised so that I can spare time to write.
    Cheers, Josee-]

    Our producers are not only not looking in the right direction, I some times wonder if they are looking at all. Such wonderful stories are lying waste, so many films that are not being made, even as we churn the same outdated themes film after film. The hapless audience is made to blame. We need a total change in perspective and I think Taare Zameen Pe was a wonderful and refreshing start.

    Thanks for the note on my page. I guess you have to live in Antwerp to love it, not sure if you did or just visited. I like Ghent as well, but prefer the "Stad" to any other place in Belgium so far.
