A not so outdoorsy summer week !!!

• The world is flat seems to be a never ending read. The world sure will become flatter by the time I finish this non-fiction epic. I guess Mahesh Dattani is stealing the limelite away from Mr Friedman. Have been parallely reading Dattani's collection of plays - second volume.
• Talking about the world getting flatter, seems like the America is finally beginining to take soccer seriously - the television viewership numbers are mind blowing for the ongoing FIFA World cup. TEN times what the last superbowl drew. Have been rooting for the spirited side from Ghana. What an upset it would be if Ghana gets past Brazil. Surely will be something to cherish for my nephew in Ghana.
  
• So July 15th, 2006 it is - The world premiere of Orange @ Lab 601 in Atlanta. Its a one print, one location, one theatre premiere. Sorry Miramax!! you will have to wait :)
• Hawaii, Oslo (norwegian, 2004) - Clearly, the best film I have seen this year. Terrific human sensibility. Life, death imbalances. Power of destiny. Amores Perros' narration style rejuvenated and re-invented. A must see not just for film lovers, but for plain life lessons.
• If you love authentic mexican try the chicken mole at Panchos - second only to the mole at Nuevo Laredo.
• myspace.com is the greatest gift for independent film makers and musicians. Stumbled upon this local band called Dust Rabbit. Preeeeeety tight act!
