What do you find irritating about this picture?

Look at this image of the back of a book. Can you tell me what I found really infuriating?

sticker_on_bookI find the sticker “Prakash Books” really irritating. How are you supposed to buy a book if you can’t the read blurb at the back?

I find stores that do this aren’t really bookstores. The person who put the sticker there really doesn’t understand books at all… or doesn’t care.

Cute one…don’t remember where I took this… possibly Singapore.

McDonald’s Drive through in Gurgaon

“Drive through” restaurants, a gastric institution in the US are now in India.

There’s one in Gurgaon (actually the outskirts of Gurgaon) and is open 24 hrs. It serves some really tasty pancakes for breakfast!

Interesting usage of “Live” word

live_appams

“Live” indicates that the “Appam” (like a pancake) is prepared fresh after you order it. How about some “Live” Burgers?

Im Juli

Just watched an atmospheric, easy paced and heart warming romantic comedy: Im Juli (In July) by Fahih Akih, a Turko-German director. There is plenty of information about this movie available on the internet (and I’m not really in a mood to write a review today :-) ). Please watch it! I’ll give this movie a 3.5 stars / 5. In India you can get this DVD from the NDTV Lumiere folks.
