On rottenness, I wouldn't mark this too highly because it flows so well. :) I hope you keep writing the whole fortnight, I'm eager to see how bad you get. :)bhavinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715899288627541184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277786177598225035.post-76440246568783149222010-08-23T22:43:33.170+08:002010-08-23T22:43:33.170+08:00Many thanks Anonymous!Many thanks Anonymous!Reportergirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277786177598225035.post-91417671956911387562010-08-23T22:22:29.908+08:002010-08-23T22:22:29.908+08:00Incredible!

Pathak's books sell about 150,000 copies *each*, on average. And he's written about 270 books at last count. So the total print run of his books is... well, you can do the math. All the more reason why he was amused to hear about the 5,000 print run idea! :)Sudarshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943562581643235169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277786177598225035.post-60680345103952708652009-09-06T02:02:15.332+08:002009-09-06T02:02:15.332+08:00It's an amazing book.

As AO Scott says, this is a movie made with a lot of affection and little skill. <br />Another thing that irked me was the throwaway Bo, blondie, Gustavo love triangle.
