Shantaram

So finally finished this novel...though initially I had to struggle a bit to read through pages..as it was like reading someones diary...but as story of this guy went ahead to afganistan and various secretes unfolded..it was like I do not want to stop reading till I finish, and every stop was like the heartbreak.. I realized same mania while reading Fountainhead.

liked imaginary character of Karla and her fundaes abt life expressed through one liners.

Now waiting for movie Shantaram now, heard that Johney depp is going to play central role but as per my visualization it should have been Russel crowe..gladiator fame and do you know Russel crowe is relative of Martin crowe ...now who the hell is...? Few years back he was the captain of NZ cricket team and also his name discussed for coach of Indian cricket team.... and for all you know Johney Depp shares honours with Brad pitt for being my favourite actors of HW.

some one-liners from this novel...
* Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting

* Sometimes you have to surrender before you can win

* Happiness is a myth. It was invented to maake us buy new things

* There is nothin as depressing as a good advice.

* The real trick in life is to want nothing, and succeed in getting it.

kuch jeetne ke liye kuch haarna padhta hai to kuch harne ke liye kuch jitna bhi chahiye...
