Tell no one !!

I was up till 5 am last nite. Its wasn't the first time I was up all nite, but the reason for that previously have been mostly watching movies, TV serials etc on my comp, there was a flood of all those thing when we got lan at hostel rooms in our second year; we got very less time to finish off all ten seasons of friends and then there was sienfeld and many more.... This time it was different, I don't think the people who know me would believe when I say why I was up all nite.

One must be wondering why all this suspense about telling the reason for such a small thing, well you see I was up reading a suspense thriller last night and the feeling have still not left me. So coming to point now the novel I was reading was "Tell No One" by Harlan Coben. It was the first time I read a book from start to finish in one go, it was so good I even missed dinner for this (its a different matter that I have had a heavy snack at 7 but still). One can compare this book with those of Dan Brown, so much of twists and turns you are not sure till the very end whats going to happen next. So a page turner in true sense.

The story revolves around a pediatrician, whose wife died in some mysterious cicumstances and was later found to be murdered by a serial killer (nicknamed KilleRoy, I found that funny somehow). Suddenly after 8 years of her death the Dr starts receiving some strange emails from someone claiming to be his wife (did I tell you she was dead), and not only that the FBI is re-investigating his wife's murder after they found two more dead bodies at the same place where she was supposedly kidnapped by the serial killer. Now the main suspect is this Dr, with not only FBI but also some very dangerous people are after him, not to forget his own "dead" wife. A lot more twists and turns follows, it gets really interesting, you just cant put it down.

And by the way i am looking for more novel by the same author.

My latest frustu

After reading about the world's best chocolate, and also reading this article, I cant resist my urge to eat chocolate, which will be the first thing i'll do after office today. Shall have to settle for some cadbury's variety as i am sure none of Amedei's is available here in Kolkata. (if some one knows where i can find that anywhere in India please do comment)

Apparatly this chocolate got so popular after that article was published in msn travel website that almost all the internet chocolate store (which includes this dedicated chcolate only store) have gone out of stock on most of the Amedei's chocolates. They even have a 'note' on the official website stating "
Due to overwhelming demand, we regret to report that all products are temporarily backordered.".

So i am making this post as a reminder now, so that the next time I visit US I am gonna buy one 'Chuao' variety.

PS: and before i forget a note to MA, plz try to find one before you come to India
