I'm back in the saddle again

So back from India. Quick listing of what happened:

-New Year's Eve party where I was home and in bed before midnight
-Surprise graduation party for me with 100+ family members
-Protocol visits to various family members
-Lot of books
-Lot of kite fights on Sankranti

Books I read during my 3 weeks in India:

Archer - Honor Among Thieves
Clancy - Debt Of Honor
Crichton - A Case Of Need, The Great Train Robbery, Eaters of the Dead, Prey, The Terminal Man
Grisham - The Client, The Runaway Jury
Irving - The World According To Garp
King - Insomnia, Nightmares And Dreamscapes
Martel - The Life Of Pi

Only 4 of those books (Insomnia, Garp, Prey, Life Of Pi) were read for the first time. All the others were read many times before on the many previous vactions to India. All 4 were really good, but the ending to Prey seemed like a cop-out (like most Crichton)

Just bought the Radeon 9600XT today, so I plan on enjoying Deus Ex: Invisible War and Prince of Persia for the next couple weeks. The old GeForce2 MX wasn't going to cut it. The Radeon also comes with a voucher for Half Life 2, so it was completely worth it.

Super Bowl is another defensive game - boring.

And now jet lag claims me...

Sup

So I'm in India. And I've been here for almost a week. But the internet is hard to get to as we chose not to get a landline in our house for the short duration that we are here.

Nothing surprising going on - just the basic round of family visits and a new year's eve party. I did find all my baby pictures so all the keyur forum visitors can vote for my new avatar when I get back.

Hope everyone is having a good break.
