By my patently unscientific analysis, you were distracted. Distracted by what? I have no idea. It was not sadness or happiness or anger or such stuff, just something constantly at the back of your mind. Whatever the issue was, it is resolved now. Could be something as simple as the words to a tune you have been humming that you couldn't remember, or something more complex. But my story is distraction, and whatever you say I'm sticking to it. BTW, I am much curious to know how far I am off the mark (I guess around half a mile). If you deign to reply, feel free to email if need be. Ok, here it goes.

Puranjoy,

I see :P

Though I remember that there was a serial called Chandrakanta that was aired on DD a long time back and I did watch some episodes of it too, I remember absolutely nothing about it now.

I am going to give her short stories a try since I can’t think of anything else to read right now.

What mood is that? I would really like to know what mood I am/was in :P I’ll wait for your resolution that’s going to come later anyway ;)

Thank you!

As we imagine how the characters and how they deal with their situation which is much more happening than watching them. Namesake is a good movie breaking barriers across cultures and one could relate to it. Books happen to better than movies made on it.

Parts of it do truly reflect the life of immigrants as does many the other short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri. It is a surreal experience for an individual to see ones own experiences on a screen.
