Time to hang up the writing shoes, or sheath the quill (yuck…that’s bad imagery) if you prefer, for a while. Think I’ll do the Lord of the Rings Marathon today. I don’t about others but I’m a real nut about this film and can see it any number of times.
I’ve already done the marathon session twice over, once at Regal and once at Metro. Never mind that I tumbled out of the theatre with a splitting headache both times and it took several hours for my poor ears to recover from the aural onslaught. I mean, can you imagine nine plus hours of stereophonic sound at several decibels higher than levels causing insanity?
Also time to gorge on food an eat all three meals. I’m usually really bad with food and end up skipping meals on an ordinary working day. In part the blame lies with my creative director who invaribaly develops a script emergency at lunch time.
Until tomorrow then. The Fellowship of the Rings beckons.
When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.
The first in a brand new detective series.

Well if you don’t turn up by tomorrow you might just get “Mayday” “Mayday” signs here….enjoy the Fellowship!
No fear of that. I’m back again. LOTR turned out to be non-event as unexpected guests dropped in 😦
Aww..sad that. Though with the penchant you have for relating – as evident in the next post – I am sure the ‘lady of the circle’ (of friends) still had a wonderful time 🙂
Nope! They were really, I mean really dull.
Oh! “Friends” one has always believed to be users so….
