Met a psycho auto-driver, who convinced us he could transport the complete package at one go. Yeah, right! A suitcase, a Trunk, two mattresses, three airbags, assorted plastic bags and soft-toys poking out of plastic bags, and three people , all in the back, and Vasu and the auto-driver in front. <\/p>\n<p><b>Sunday:<\/b><br \/>\nWas supposed to go and meet this long-lost friend of mine, who was in town for a night. Didn&#8217;t. Went off to the Book Fair. Decided to go to the Sunday Market first. Whoopee!!! got &#8220;Stars Wars: The Phantom Menace&#8221; Hardcover by Terry Brooks for a paltry 50 bucks. The BF was a <i>big<\/i> let-down. Searched out some old &#8220;Shade The Changing Man&#8221; comics, and a Conan compendium. News for both myself and <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/psasidhar\/\">psasi<\/a><\/b>, seems Robert Jordan, before he wrote his Wheel of Time books, used to write Conan stories that were pretty well-received by fans.<br \/>\nFinally bought the Heavy Metal magazine from Odyssey, feel good about it. Listened to Trilok Gurtu and read Joseph Campbell until midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weekend: Friday Night: Got a glass of freezing lime soda dropped over my pants.
