The problem here is that PSG is a very club to deal with. Verratti and the club he wants to go to will have to be very careful here. Pulling a Payet would never work with this PSG board. In my opinion, Verratti and not Dybala should be Barcelona's number 1 target. They have never really replaced Xavi and midfield is their main area of need in my opinion. Verratti is young and he should solve their midfield problems for a decade. It's worth it.

He's a beast

What do you think of Big Pun's son, Chris Rivers, Erick? 4:38 He absolutely smashes it on that. The rest of them are pretty average though for me, but he smashes it. Beast.

I missed this post and just read it now. I read Our moon has blood clots by Rahul Pandita which was fantastically written IMO and after reading your post I added his Hello Bastar to my list.

Both Ramayana and Mahabharata were on my school curriculum, hehe... Abridged versions, of course, but still. Kamasutra was a gift of my cheeky friends for my 18th birthday, I was also surprised how much of it was about the philosophy of love and relationships, contrary to the common perception of it being a wild sex manual, haha. It was so popular among my friends that I actually only kept the book for a week or two; everyone started borrowing it afterwards, and I'm sure that after 13 years it's still being shared in the circles of friends of friends Thanks for your recommendations, I'll google them and then order a few right away! UPDATE: decided on the Ibis Trilogy, found all three books for $33 on the Book Depository! Cheers again

@nudge Rushdie counts. Loved his Midnight's children. Kudos to you for reading big texts like Ramayana and Mahabharata. I was happy acquainting myself with TV series, movies and tales from grandparents. I read Kamasutra as a teenager and was surprised to find so much beyond sex; the whole way of life (rules and duties) according to the class. Anyways, here are my recommendations for novels by Indian novelists, Vikram Seth's A suitable boy, Amitav Gosh's Ibis Trilogy, Arundhati Roy's God of Small Things, Anita Desai's Clear Light of the Day and Village by Sea.

Must read in my opinion... I read this in my local language few years ago but glad to know that they had this in english too... hopefully its translated well without losing the content...

Concentrating on Indian authors and trying to finish some local books. Finished with 'The White Tiger' and as city (born and bred) lad to learn about Naxal-inflicted towns/village (darkness as he describes in the books) was gut wrenching. Us, urban folk, are largely unaware of those inner villages. I have noticed few incidents mentioned in newspapers from time to time, but reading about them in so much detail was an eyeopener. Therefore, have now started reading 'Hello Bastar: The Untold Story Of Indias Maoist Movement' by Rahul Pandita, and quite frankly its more tragic.
