Yeah Ini.. Water has receded to a comfortable level in most places but still no electricity so no cell phone network and landlines are all not working.. They are saying to wait till Monday for any news! :( :(
Edit: Have asked volunteers to go check on my family and relatives..Hopefully they will have some news soon..
Mumma : You and Manu are in the same boat regarding Kvothe? :O It's as rare as me and Ini disagreeing on a book :O :P Don't know what Wolf Hall is.. I'll pray it never crosses my way
Ini : Did you read anything yesterday?
Manu : Venice? That much I guessed with all those Gondolas :P
No disturbance? :'( I hope she isn't as boring as me when I was a kid :/
Harry: you read Kote and decide for yourself.:Phehehe... whenever she is in a talkative mood I talk to her and she smiles. and whenever she starts crying I ask mom to hold her.:P:P

@Sri wow, so many books :D of them I have only read game of thrones. Will read human bondage soon @Manju well, I don't know. Depends on the mood, fantasy most likely :D
@harry Bro, -__- you like bahubali, where climbing a waterfall takes you in different world. At least the world building is better in Locke :P
Sure Ini.. Will definitely let you all know! :)Thanks Manu! :)
Yes Utkarsh..this year has been good for me in terms of the books I have read. That's really telling something! :)

buddy do you play any musical instrument?
Na re.. I would love to learn/play any instrument but have such stiff fingers that it is impossible for me to learn any! :( :P
Srividya wrote: "Na re.. I would love to learn/play any instrument but have such stiff fingers that it is impossible for me to learn any! :( :P"will ask junior to give you some Piano classes. :P:P
am fascinated with Cello these days. even now listening to Bach with my fingers beating the keyboard. ;)
Communication is better in Chennai now.. Atleast Airtel is working fine :)
I also imitate playing instruments..my favourite is the drums/tabla as I can keep a beat more than anything else! :P :PHarry - Not everywhere!! :( :(
Utkarsh : That hurt -_- :'( Manu : she smiles at you? Really? :P :P
Mumma : Oh Okay.. Dont worry, things will improve and they're safe :)
Srividya wrote: "I also imitate playing instruments..my favourite is the drums/tabla as I can keep a beat more than anything else! :P :PHarry - Not everywhere!! :( :("
that's great. and I think they are easy too. :D reading anything?
Hajarath Prasad wrote: "Mumma : Oh Okay.. Dont worry, things will improve and they're safe :)"Hmm.. yeah am also hoping for that only. Have too many people in Chennai and some are in the worst affected areas..but the saving grace is that they are all on the 2nd floor..so it's only a matter of time.
Just got news that my nephew (one and a half years old) was safely brought out from Sholinganallur, which was a sea by itself..He had suffered for 3 days without food or water or electricity...

thats a good news that he is safe. and what about the other members of his family?
@Sri everything will be fine Sri, the situation is getting better. You will hear from them soon.
Hahahaha Utkarsh. Actually I am thinking of reducing next year's reading number to 40! :P :DManu - they are all fine. Thankfully. My cousin and his parents were in a different place while his wife, kid and her mother and grandfather were stuck in Sholinganallur. Now they are all together and hopefully things are improving.

I might read more Manu but my target is to finish the 40 or so books that I have marked for 2016. If I finish that, I will consider my challenge as completed, else it will still remain unfinished! :D
@Sri do it for your buddy! :P @Manju now now, don't be shy. You know You want to watch it :P :P
Manu : Nothing nothing :P Utkarsh : This is probably the first movie which had such fine visuals and effects in our language. Kuch to rehm Karo Saab :/
Mumma : 40? In a month?

Mumma : 40? In a month?"

no rehm, as you didn't show any for Locke.:P:P
Utkarsh - I have still not taken my daughter to watch her favourite Deepika in Tamasha..so other movies are ruled out!! :P :PHarry - My reading has reduced a lot..so 40 in a month and that to those books is impossible!! :D
Manu - Nah..am planning to relax next year and things will get a little more hectic as well, so I don't think I will be able to read much but let's see...
And as for the paperbacks..well I can instead just gift you a Kindle and share my account with you, it will be a lot cheaper.. What do you say? :P :P
