I actually don't remember too clearly. I think it was 'Mithya'. Liked it.

2. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
Just finished 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. Adored it. Will move on to Nevil Shute now.

3. FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
The Game of Life. I love the whole drama of buying homes, getting married, having twins (and getting presents... even if it's fake money) and retiring as a millionaire. Plus, you can actually throw your husband and children (those little pegs) out of the car and not get arrested.

4. FAVORITE MAGAZINE?
'Outlook' I think. But it's more like my cough medicine. I read it because I should, not because I want to.

The smell of wet earth, paint, new books, old books, the fish market, and of shutki maach being fried!

The sound of azaan while dawn is breaking.

Not knowing.

If it's a non-working day, I go back to sleep.

I used to love Ralli's at New Market till it shifted to the building opposite. Now, any place is as good or bad as the other.
