Well, libraries have books, and I haven’t read a book in a while, so there I went with the intention of picking up a book or two. Books, I didn’t bring any but how could I? There were rows and rows of my favorite movies, well cinemas would be a better word.

We don’t get too many World cinemas back in India, and there is this guy at Pallika Bazaar who sells DVD copies, the source is limited. And the library was a… well, “Porn to my eyes” ( That is the best I can think of for my eyes).

I have a good collection of Akira Kurosawa back in India. And I watched two here. Stray Dog and Ikuru. I don’t want to watch more AKira Movies. Each time I watch one, re-run or a new one, I have this funny feeling of being a born again film maker. Like I could really make good movies. And act, now don’t laugh! Blame Akira!

I am watching at one a day. This weekend I finished 3, and all were exceptionally good. If you get a hold of a copy, you should watch The lives of others (Das Leben der Anderen). You will not foget it!
