Strand Book Festival

Today I went for Strand book festival at Chinnaswamy stadium. They have a very good collection there, and I got the view of a cricket stadium for the first time in my life. It looked very small, compared to what it looked like in television.

I spent a good amount in buying books. Few of the books I bought are the following:

- Beauty and Sadness, a novel by Yasunari Kawabata.
- A collection of fairy tales written by Hermann Hesse.
- Elephant Maximus, A portrait of the Indian elephant, by Stephen Alter.
- The Third Translation, a novel by Matt Bondurant.
- Early Views of India, a book about the travels of Thomas and William Daniell through India during 1786-1794, along with several illustrations of ancient monuments made during that time.

When I reached home in the evening, Asianet was showing a program with Mammootty and Jagadeesh. Mammootty was acting as Rajamanikyam of his recent hit film, and he looked like doing mimicry, just like a presenter of one of those several comedy programs like Comedy Time.

Mammotty doing mimmicry? Its sad to see an actor with such good acting abilities is doing all cheap triks to make the film work...I really wonder why he is not interested to do good films like "Mathilukal", "Vidheyan" etc. He should have the courage to produce such films at least in this stage of his career
