Uppma..Nestle Milk chocolate and Frederick Forsyth
After the hair cut at Green Trends, I entered my home and sat on the chair. Switched on my computer.. checked my mails and started downloading Pachaikili Muthusaram movie songs. The only thing good about the movie is the songs and music. When the download was in progress, my eyes rested upon “The Deceiver” the novel by Frederic Frosyth.. which I have lend from the library a few days before.
I felt hungry then.. and decided to finish my breakfast. Took some uppma in the plate and sat down. Opened the novel and started eating. The story is about Sam McCready a 51 year old British field agent who is about to given a early retirement by his seniors. He plans to arrange for a hearing with the help of his junior associate. The hearing covers 4 of McCready notable achievements, which are narrated by the master story teller in his own way. I was indulged so much that I didnt notice that the time was 12.10 then! Washed my hand and found the downloads have completed. Launched winamp, created a playlist with the new songs.. and my recent downloads of Game Soundtracks. Started playing it.. and I rested on the bed reading the novel.
The soundtracks were playing in the background.. and they added some dramatic feeling to the novel’s peppy plot. Damn Forsyth! You are sooo good! It was around 3.15 when I felt hungry again. Didn;t prefer to go out. So searched the refridgerator and found two Nestle Milk Chocolates. Took them out.. and started reading the novel.. slowly muching the chocolates. Then around 5.30, I felt my eyes became soar. So I decided to take a break. Prepared a hot and sweet black coffee with my favorite Dark Forest coffee powder. Enjoyed the coffee in the balcony for the next 10 minutes.. sipping the coffee and the pleasing evening wind.
Took the novel in hand again.. and this time some Trance music sort of tracks were being played.. and by 8.40 I finished the 3rd sub-story. Took a deep breath.. and my god! I realized that I didnt bath till then. Hahah.. By 9.30 I had bath.. and locked my home and went out to have dinner. But still.. the Deceiver was occcupying my mind. So, bought the food and returned home and started reading the fourth plot of the “Deceiver”. It was around 11.05 the power went off. Being known to the fact that power restoration is not guarenteed.. I locked home, and drove to office dorm. Found the bunkers empty. Switched on the fans and started sleeping.
Morning, I returned home.. took bath and started reading the novel from where I left. There was power.. but then again it went out around 10am. Still a few more pages. I read them quickly.. and wow! It was 11.30 when I finsihed the book. Phew!
Frederic Forsyth is called “The Master Storyteller”. No wonder!
