This old, tattered copy.

I recently went to Himachal Pradesh, and to Chandigarh on the way back. The trip was originally supposed to be one of my father's business-car-trips but he decided to pull me and mom in this time, so that we could "enjoy" HP. Himachal sucks. Thats the only conclusion I come upon after spending 1 day in a deserted hotel which sits facing the road which is frequented only by majdoors and juki-jopri wallas. Anyway, the trip wasn't such a waste because we went to Chandigarh on the way back, and as most of you must already be knowing, Chandigarh is a nice place. A nice standard place with a lot of nice girls. Father had some work in sector 17 and while searching this particular sector, I enjoyed myself by inwardly laughing at my driver's pronounciation of "17" as satara. While Dad spent his time at the office, me and mom looked around the shopping area. We went to a nice fast food resteraunt and ordered pizza and burger. After eating, we looked around a bit more and I bought The Godfather from a sidewalk seller. Yes, I am referring to this novel as the "old, tattered copy" which it indeed is. I am just glad that none of its pages are missing for that would have spoiled the fun of reading this intriguing classic. The novel comprises of 9 sections which have been categorized by the author as "Books". It tells the story of Don Vito Corleone and his powerful Italian Mafia Family settled in the New York City. The book is highly interesting and I must advise each and every one of the voracious readers to devour it in peace. I would advise the soft readers to keep off it as some of the incidents in the book are pretty brutal. Sarkar is loosely based on this epic and now that I am in the middle of completing this book, I am looking forward to watching its critically-acclaimed movie version.

A bit about Mission Impossible III:
In sweltering heat, I went to watch the highly anticipated Mission Impossible 3 with my brother. PVR Priya was swarming with teenagers, all lining up to watch M:i:III. I met a lot of my friends from school. The movie was good and sported a Lost theme, which was to be expected of J. J. Abrams, who is the creater of the same. With an enigmatic start, the movie soon rolled into action, with Cruise jumping around either shooting or cutting wires or wearing masks. It is a nice movie and I would recommend any Cruise / M:i fan (or otherwise) to go and watch it.
