Amsterdam by Ian McEwan

A relationship diver kinda book. felt draggin sometimes, but stopped reading then. Picked it up again, and felt awashed with the energy involved in describing the actions and characters and what they are feeling throughout, for a timeline thats quite small for a novel of this kind.

A good read, a wee-bit depressing, and a worthy story.

Thanks to my friends - Sowmithra, Malvika, Ananth for picking this book for my birthday.

To feel alive

An evolving and ever-modifiable list I decided to put together before I say "Sayonara world!".

1. Skydiving

2. Watch a Broadway musical

3. Drive across America

4. Drive across India

5. Charge up in a heavy metal rock concert (preferably Metallica, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath)

6. Run a world-renowned marathon

7. Climb one of the top peaks of the world (gotta decide which one)

8. Go whitewater rafting (gotta learn swimming first, but that's not worthy of a bucket list)

9. Learn French, Spanish, Arabic (no, Hindi is not part of the list)

10.

More to come...
