Romesh Reads

Book lovers and scribbler-wanna-be's - don't forget that Romesh Gunasekera will be reading tonight at Silverfish 7-8pm. And if you haven't discoverd his books yet - maybe the nice Mr. Raman will have a copy or two left.

I interviewed Romesh yesterday for a feature which should appear this Sunday in Starmag. So today is mad writing day to get my notes in some kind of order.

See you tonight?

I was at the the conference organised by UKM in which Romesh gave a talk. Unfortunately, it seems that he and some other international participants felt rather annoyed at poor attendandes for the different papers being presented and the attitudes of some of the Malaysian participants who allowed their handphones to ring during the talks. No wonder why we slip in the rankings, with the presence of such academics who take a tidak-apa attitudes. Thankfully, there are also very good Malaysian academics out there who presented very insightful and thought-provoking papers.
