Hi Seemita,
If you are asking in context of what I have written on my review on 'Night by Elie Weisel' then Yes it's restored. Just a couple of hours back I returned from Ahmadabad after vacation of two days out of which one day I spent at Gandhi Ashram ... (As I am going through little tough mode, as I read so much disturbing books that depression has taken over me and watched 'Ship of Theseus' movie 5-6 times (where the middle section of monk's renunciation fascinated me a lot )) So vacation was fantastic with masti and fun with cousins especially when you have 14 cousins in some fantasy big home :) ... I am fine now, my refresh button is clicked ... on my way back I was reading 'My Experiments with truth' with very calm heart as if some burden has been lifted off. Thanks for asking Seemita.

And if you are asking in some different context, then whatever it is, it is also restored now :) ... 'Youth' is one of my favorite book, I almost read it 4 times, whenever I feel low I read this because story is very very close to me ... In fact this is the ONLY book where I have seen 100% reflection of my life almost on EVERY page.

I never told you this but I also make short films, write and direct dramas on topics like 'finding true enlightment of life' for office Junta, I have made some 6-7 films till yet; all written, shot, edited produced and directed by me and 6-7 plays as well in last 1.5 year (Though I never appear in them as I have little secretive kind of nature as I already spoke in my previous conversations) .. Some movies are on Youtube as well. It's just a small hobby not for any commercial purpose ... But I haven't made anything since long so in this long break a very fresh idea clicked on me to make something. Soon I'll come to you with that.

PS 1: Apologies for enough of my bakwaas :) ... It's very long I have spoken to you, I should ask this first, how are you and what's going on ?

PS 2 : My Booker 2016 chariot is just on halt after 5 books, as other books although I ordered but not available in India yet, they might arrive in Oct and then only I can read.

PS3: Again sorry for long message, sometimes speaking makes me so emotional that thoughts fight to appear in words :)

Seemita Haha... I like this talkative side of yours, Ravi! Very infectious! I am doing good; thank you for asking. And I did detect your love for the lens a long time back :) So, I ain't surprised. May the philosophy keep coming in leaps and bounds to you! As far as my comment is concerned, I asked it primarily in Coetzee's context - I remember you were disappointed in your last outing with him and to love his prose, once again, should have felt like home-coming, right? Glad to know you enjoyed her vacation; may the Booker bandwagon oblige too :)
