New Laptop, ZATAMM and wierd baby tigers.

So I have got this cool new laptop from work. I am actually not a laptop person, I like sitting on a table and working better. So I am trying to put the laptop to use somehow. Well one good thing is you can sit in front of the TV and do work or chat (or write blogs :-) ). One can probably guess the lifetime of my infatuation with this new toy by noticing when my blogging frequency goes down :-)

Reading ZATAMM (that Zen and the art of Motorcycle maintainence) again. Had read it around 8 years back (damn! the length of my past remembrances is getting so long, its starting to freak me out ) when I was still in India. Just rereading it to see if relate to the book in some different way. One thing is for sure that I can understand much more of the american stuff about the novel having been here for a while now.

Lots of time when I revisit a book/movie after a long time, I find that I have a totally different opinion about it then the last time I saw it. Some movies which I used to find absolutely hilarious 10-12 years ago and considered them timeless classics then dont amuse me anymore. Wonder if the stuff I think is classic now will meet the same fate 10 years from now.

Finally I saw this incredible photo in yahoo of baby tigers suckling a human mom !!!

Crazy world.

How are you progressing with the book? Once you finish, give me a primer - A.
