Shipping days

Today I go to ship out my poetry manuscripts. It looks like good times are ahead for me. Things are slowly getting back to normal. I am going to enjoy it while it lasts. I was aware of that as well.

Short fiction days

Right now this is a time for short fiction, as I am working on my book of short fiction called Perpetual Daylight and other stories. It is a thoroughly engrossing process to say the least. I was aware of that as well.

Only got one book that I truly wanted

Yesterday when I went to book buyers in downtown Mountain View I only managed to get one book that I truly wanted. It was Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. People keep on beating me to the good books such as Count Zero by William Gibson and Puppet Masters by Bob Heinlein. None the less I had a good time.

Going to Mountain View Today

Today I go to downtown Mountain View to have some fun. I trust all of you are enjoying your friday. I know that I will be enjoying mine. I was aware of that as well.

In a new memoir former British Prime Minister Tony Blair labeled Gordon Brown as an en quote "Unmitigated Disaster". Really Mr. Blair you are late to the party.

Good times in California

Right now I am trying to enjoy just where I am. It is good to be back although I do miss numerous things about life in Mumbai. Still my situation continues to evolve. I was aware of that as well.
