Hectic week, Lazy weekend

Week was too hectic; weekend was simply a lazy one. Finished Amitav Ghosh’s The Calcutta Chromosome this weekend. This was my first Amitav Ghosh novel; book was decent, but since I had got some very good reviews, I found the book below expectations. I guess it could have been written in a slightly simple manner. The ghost sequence was cleverly presented, though.
Watched 3 movies over the week – Bheja Fry was good. Saw it on a weekday in the theatre, so had less of a crowd to combat. Movie was a good stress-buster after a hectic and harrowing time in office.
Watched The Maltese Falcon – featuring Humphrey Bogart. Had never seen a Humphrey Bogart movie before. Movie was decent – it’s considered among the all time top ten thriller/mystery movies. Humphrey Bogart as Private Eye Sam Spade was brilliant. The character was simply magnificent and HB did an astounding job playing it.
Saturday didn’t go that well – Meet the Robinsons in the evening was pretty ordinary – not withstanding all the great reviews for it. And dinner @ Rail Road was BAD. Appetite went for a toss after a dead insect surfaced in the fried rice; didn’t do too well for my feedback to the restaurant.
A lazy Sunday with some bits of roaming around in the locality brought up the end to the weekend.
