Having realised that my new years resolution of reading 20 books this year is not gonna happen. Well, unless the earth's revolution speed reduces by half. So, keeping the book count as unknown and working with variables is the best way to ..well cover up. I keep drifting. So, finally finished reading "Imperial Blandings" - An omnibus by P.G. Wodehouse
Its a collection of three loosely connected stories and reading it reminded of two things. Pu la and the feel-good, heart-warming, time pass, 'Amol Palekar' type movies. Movies like Golmaal, Chupke-chupke, Khoobsurat have to have been 'inspired' from Wodehouse stories. If not the plots, atleast the characters for sure. Although, some of the archaic english was hard to understand for me, the hilarious one liners, analogies, characters and plots more than made up for it. Shall seek out for more from Wodehouse.
