Gardens of the Moon


This is book one of Malazan book of the Fallen. To compare with Song of Ice and Fire, its got a lot more magic involved (with even the gods playing a hand).
Where the Song of Ice and Fire has 3 or 4 main threads in the story this book's plot can be compared to a roomful of kittens allowed to play with large balls of yarn, it can get a bit overwhelming at times but the story is fast paced and unpredictable.
Another book highly recommended for Fantasy fans.
Note: It seems that either my online book store has stopped shipping books to my city or their site has some bugs so unless Amazon opens up shop in India this will be my last book review for a while.

SE K750i



I finally got my new phone after a lot of attempts, its the Sony Ericsson K750i.
Features include a 2 megapixel camera, 250k colour display screen, MP3 ringtones and Bluetooth, a 64MB Memory Stick Pro memory card is also included.
The camera has a nice flashlight and allows unlimited video recording (well, limited by memory size). I just love the animated themes and menus (lots of themes available online). Thankfully the MP3 ringtones are really loud ;-)
Initially I was going to buy its expensive walkman cousin the W800i but then I dropped the idea and got an iPod Mini (4GB) and the reason you don't see a review of the iPod is that it would be redundant (everyone knows its the coolest MP3 player in the market).
