BookFair
Went to the bookfair... happy happy. Bought 3 books really cheap and jumped around in general. Preeta, poppin' buttons et al, also there. Paroj coughin'- pan chewing also there. Bad Kolkatans, we all are. Tired in 4 hours. But will go later with Ma. Hop skip buggy lift with Ranjit dahlink upto Park Street (aah my favourite place in Cal these days) and Golden Spoon as usual. Wicked waiter man waiting for 20 Rs tip (you wish). But we gave ten. Generous in general. Preeta wanted cosmo and wished she could shock propah communist bhadroloks and bhodromohilas with Sush's silicon babies. But I don't think it happened, and in any case, too busy discussing the proper pronounciation of Louis Vuitton to notice anybody noticing us.
And what. Heavily panned for stupid writing by the late fantastical. But thassokay really. Umm...went to college to give Bertie answer...and found him just about to fag and talking on the phone. Dismissive and indifferent as ever... me as vague as ever. Made up with Marlborough, but only temporarily. Oh, it felt sooo good.
Yeah. I described my day. Now giwe? Anything-something, giwe?

oh Rupa has these French thingies. I got this one by Boris Vian called Blues for a Black Cat, and fell in love with it. It's surreal stuff really.
Famous Dead, or something like that, is a series about famous dead people. It's in cartoons and doodles and snippets and is great fun. There's this one on Elvis, which I wanna buy.
I bought all that stuff, cause I like reading from books and not from the computer screen. And it just seemed like too good an offer. I wanted them all together, and not scattered.
