Start of the New Year


I finished reading Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, saw Truffaut's Jules et Jim on my new year and was trying to sleep to be woken up by friends with sms and calls.

Also saw Das Boot, apparently the pre-eminent WWII movie on U Boats. A friend had said that if I liked U 571, I should love this one. I did like it, except that the version I saw, was the director's cut and ran for about 3.5 hrs!


Hotel Dwarka, one of the best places to eat in Bangalore is no longer at its original location. It used to be one of the landmarks in Basavanagudi as I knew it. I hope it does revive in some form. But Bull Temple Road will never be the same again.


I also indulged in some self-flagellation in KQA's first quiz of the year. Scored very little, but a tweety japanese bird in yellow suit, complete with black stripes enhanced our final score!

Kill Bill is inspired by Bruce Lee and japanese martial arts flicks. And so is the tweety bird, which is inspired by Kill Bill in addition to the above!
