The Enigma

An idle mind is a devil's workshop. That's what they all say. And the last couple of weeks has further made me realise how true this old saying is. My very first blog was written under extremely harsh conditions - sheer boredom, in a place away from home, in an entirely new environment with absolutely nothing to do but stare into empty space or stare into a computer screen for hours togther.

But if i ve work to do, then the days seem really good and full! Take day-before yesterday for instance. One of my best days of my one month intesrnship! Lord Jeffrey Archer had come to Bombay to talk about his latest book, A Prisoner Of Birth. We reached Landmark, Andheri on time to witness his arrival. M not going to get into the details of what he spoke about for one hour. But well, he kept the audience spellbound with his talk. The large crowd was in rapt attention, hanging onto his every word and was not left disappointed. His diplomatic answers to questions from the crowd, his way of tackling the questions, his views on 20-20 cricket (According to him its not cricket at all) , his sense of humor, everything kept the crowd in fits of laughter ! Even a person who hasn't read a single one of his books would have been tempted to grab a copy of his latest! Even a person who wouldn't have liked him earlier, would have fallen under his spell for sure within that one hour!

He is an enigma and his charisma and charm and wit, drew everyone to him- the young and the old! I'm indeed glad to have met this author and to have had the opportunity to listen to him for over an hour. It was one experince il never forget!

I've started reading his latest book, and let me tell you, m finding it extremely difficult to put it down. Right from page one, the book is so intense and electrifying that u can keep reading on and on and forget about the rest of the world!

Well, I'm bak to work now, hoping tht the next 10 days are equally good, equally enjoyable and full of work!

I remember saying in a previous post that I cant wait to get back to Chennai. Well, iv had a change of heart now. I dont feel like leavin Bombay and IBN now! :)
