I'm wearing a rather striking shirt, one that makes me feel like a clown fooling around in a graveyard. Roving eyes latch on to me and make me too conscious of myself. Checkered in red, grey, black and maroon, I've excused myself into donning it and looking silly for two reasons. It's Friday and…more importantly, the last working day of the year. Tailored half-a-year back, I never had the courage to wear it, not until today. It's that time of the year when it's time to reflect on the events that transpired. Last year ended on the worst possible note. Dad had expired and I was numb with shock. The repercussions rippled halfway thought this year. Things were so abysmal initially that I had lost the will to live. Acrid in everything I did, I was immensely angered by time phlegmatically flowing through its cadence. It was as if Dad meant nothing to anybody. What right did people have to live the way they always had when Dad was no more? Why was much of the world still
Happy the man,and happy he alone, He,who can call today his own; He who,secure within,can say, Tomorrow do thy worst,for I have lived today.

Nope, A Suitable Boy should not be insulted by such frenzied reading! Seth deserves some respect. And the size of the new book is intimidating enough!
And how about buying the book? I'm pretty sure Seth's livelihood depends on the royalty he earns!
was really sweet.
it was in the hindu newspaper ,
i don't remember exact stuff but
vikram seth or some author got a prize ,
some prestigious prize and he came up there with someone .
could u guess who?
no he did not come with his partner ,
i mean wife , lover or someone ,
he came up with his mom .
he was with her and it looked sweet .
there was a time when he got discouraged and his mother encouraged him .so he was pround of his mom ,
and his mom was pround of him.
anyway the author may not have been vikram seth , but he is a popular indian author , and did not look very old .writers should have beatiful thoughts , that person if he was vikram seth in the newspaper inspired me .
anyway , enjoy the book , i came upon here , saw pictures , read some blogs,
comments too and was about to leave silently when the thought of vikram seth came and i felt to leave a comment ,sorry for coming here a chance accident.
