Stranded in the STRAND book festival

Yep I couldn't find Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series nor any of Alistair Maclean's books at the annual Strand Book Festival, which was held at the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium.When I enquired, they said that they were yet to open the box which contained Robert's books. Oh sigh* will go next weekend. Picked these 2 books .. :)

Silmarillion is nice but tells the ramayana in one sentence.

I havent read unfinished tales yet...

Vc said...

Oops .. Actually its

The Shaping of Middle Earth. The Quenta, the Ambarkanta and the Annals The History of Middle Earth, Vol. 4

The Lost Road Vol 5.

Ah... I was wondering how the pics changed suddenly...

I didn't feel like reading those books because they were written by Christopher Tolkien. He doesn't quite match up to good ol' JRR.

Vc said...

No No he's edited stuff and as you put it " good old' JRR " has written most of the stuff.I mean he invented so many languages, a whole civilization a universe....Vc swoons... Now I can't think of anything else... elves and gnomes and ...Crash...

Div, sajna, saajan, sajjan all mean good guy!! sajjan is a sanskrit word, saajan is urdu, sajna is possibly a bollywood term??
I kept humming "hassssste hassssste" and by evening 2 of my friends also picked it up!!
the lyrics have punjabi touch, for ex. "mahi", and background sound had a UK IndiPOP feel.
Did you write it urself?
