The Man from Earth

I did nothing today - well almost nothing. I spent the entire day reading 'Shantaram' and watched a movie called 'The Man from Earth'. The movie turned out to be a really pleasant surprise considering that the whole movie is set in a cabin room. There are some points where the acting and camera angle choices are dicey but still it was a fascinating movie to watch. It is a science fiction movie that doesn't have any aliens, any space ships, any SFX, any blood and gore or action and it is not set in some future point in time. If you can get past some dodgy acting from some of the players then you will thoroughly enjoy this movie without a doubt.

'Shantaram' is an intimate epic and I am only 1/3rd of the way through the book even though it seems like I have spent an eternity with the main characters. I will write my impressions when I finish the book - for now it is a brilliant read.

Back to the book.:-)
