Quake 4 and books
Got Quake 4 last weekend .... as soon as it was available here in Bangalore : but have not yet been able to play the game sadly :-(
My computer (with the rest of the stuff) is still stuck at Bombay and so I guess it will be another loooong week before I can get down and dirty with the game.
In case you are interested , you can play it in linux (more info here).... saw it in action on my friend's comp yesterday.

While I wait for my computer to arrive , I have gone back to my old habit of reading - I used to be an avid reader until I got introduced to programming (and the "pressures" of getting into an engineering college).
So in the past 3 weeks I managed to finish about two dozen books .... nothing else left to do after getting back home ;-)
* lot of them novel's of the eighth doctor from the Doctor Who series , - ya ya , I am a geek :-P (never seen the tv series yet funnily !)
* a couple of Asimov's , - as usual enjoyable :-D
* a book by Abhijit Bhaduri called Mediocre But Arrogant (for MBA) - entertaining.
* To Kill a Mocking Bird , by Harper Lee - really touching , no wonder it won a Pulitzer !

Also waiting for Civ 4 to get released here before I can get it ... really enjoyed Civ 3 , this should be fun.

And so I wait .....
