Ti' bits
A guy, I know, said, he voted for Sanjaya in the American Idol because he thought Sanjaya's sister looked cute. Maybe there are many more guys (even non-Indians) like him and maybe thats why he is still there in the race. Why hate Sanjaya? Poor kid!
A friend of mine actually thought "well-built man" in Indian matrinomial lingo means a man with a 6-pack body. How naive! She later discovered, to her dismay, that it refers to a fat man.
I read a lot but I definitely don't fall under the "voracious" category. And I go a lot by the recommendations from other readers. And most of the time, I end up hating those recommended books (Eg - Bridges of the Madison County, We the Living, Hitch-hiker's guide to the Galazy etc) But I still pay heed and read those books anyway because I don't want to be the one hearing "Oh My God, you haven't read THAT book?" :-) Namesake is what I have in my hands right now. YAWN! Next time, I'd think twice before making a statement like "Movies are always the bad versions of their books".
I am disappointed that one doesn't get a day off on Good Friday in the US. I once bragged to a collegue that in India it was a public holiday. I wasn't prepared for a "Why?" from him. Just blurted "Because India is not a hindu country, its secular. The snetiments of all religions are appreciated". That answer seems so dumb and lame now that I think back.:-) And I grew up.

It's 'Black' Friday that gets all the attention here!
Secularism, as I understand, is seperation of religion from state - not including all the religion and declaring holidays.
Yaaru kannu vechaaloo...
Good Friday, not an holiday for us in India ;)
Nitpick Alert!
"A guy, I know, said,"

Well-built mean 6-pack?????? OMG, I never thought of it that way.. Now, that I retrospect, it should mean that, should it not????? We are just sooooooooo used to the lingo used that we dont realise that it mit be terribly misleading for a lot of people... hmmm...

Saw ur comment - depend on you to observe these things. :) U know something? - you are the only person who 'knows' the most no. of things about this person, probably because you saw the person at his/her unguarded moment. :)
And you would, my guess, be the same person in real life as what you are on your blog.
Couldn't get you - are you saying namesake was boring in its book version?
