Merry Christmas Everyone
My friend Hayley organized a group to go carolling this past week. We attracted quite a few crowds around town and I'm fairly certain there are many photos of us off-key, slightly off-kilter singers floating around the city. What good fun it was.
Pleasure book of the moment (no international criminal statutes I promise)
Aravavind Adiga's "The White Tiger"
...using satire and humor, he brings realities of India to the fingertips of readers far far away. The plucky murderer/protagonist takes the reader on a colourful if not sad journey through India, all through a letter written to China's Premier Wen Jiabao.
