Wednesday, November 03, 2010. My passion for Scandinavian crime fic continues unabated, and I've recently come across two new authors in that genre - Jo Nesbo, Norwegian crime fic writer of the Harry Hole series, which are enjoyable, certainly, but doesn't offer very much beyond that; and Johan Theorin, whose crime novels are set on the little Swedish island of Oland. Echoes From the Dead. Echoes From the Dead. Echoes From the Dead. Sees Gerlof finally solving the mystery of what had happened to his gran...

A very cool cat: January 2010
http://averycoolcat.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. My first post of the year - and it's to be a rant of sorts. I've lately grown quite addicted to the TV show. So You Think You Can Dance. Another of FOX TV's successes, a sort of dance-oriented version of. And even created and produced by the same people. But I'd grown to like this one so much more, chiefly because it was warmer, friendlier, without any of the arrogance and patronising so characteristic of. I'm certainly not going to be watching. So You Think You Can Dance.

Saturday, December 17, 2011. In defence of a reviewer, reviews and reviewing. This post concerns a topic that is close to my heart, both personally and professionally, and one that I am certain will resonate with reviewers - and writers too - everywhere. Http:/ www.businessworld.in/businessworld/businessworld/content/Criminally-Disappointing.html. Why not vent your ire on me, why not give us both a chance to talk something through? To continue with Barthes' thought - is it possible to be entirely objecti...

Tuesday, October 12, 2010. The Art of Murder. Jose Carlos Somoza): I read this book earlier this year, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

Friday, November 18, 2011. Andaman ramblings II - Port Blair. We reached Port Blair late in the evening, past 7.30 PM. K and I stood at a port hole at one end of the corridor outside our cabin, and watched the Nicobar. He asked in a tone of great bewilderment. Because we live in a city all the time, we said. He said nothing more, but we could see him mentally shaking his head, and going 'These tourists are crazy! Or is it just us Indians who have no sense of history, no respect for the past? Andaman ramb...

Saturday, September 18, 2010. In defence of orange. How many times have I been told I look like a right-winger/sadhvi/religious freak when I wear orange? I've lost count. And how many times have I been told I will look like one or all of the above if I wear orange? And damned if I'm going to let organised religion co-opt it. A very cool cat.
