Flying high...
I will be flying again and this time to San Francisco, CA. Will be there for almost 5 months. Looking ahead to see the work culture there. Looking ahead for the friends I may `find` there. Looking ahead to enjoy the life in US.
Looking ahead for the day I will be back.

Wheel Of Time - Robert Jordan
I am done with the first 11 books of the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan and have most of them in my collection by now.
The series starts with "The Eye of the World" where Jordan has hidden so many pointers that you would not stop reading the sequels till 6th book***. But after that the series enters such a slow pace that you wish you had never started reading. The 9th book, "Winter's heart", has some good plots where you start taking interest in reading again. I would call the 10th book the worst in this series.
The 11th book "Knife Of Dreams", ends most of the plots which have been dragged from the last few books. The book also has some revelations which you would be waiting for from the first six books. The (probably) last in the series, "A Memory Of Light", is expected by end of Year 2009.
In Harry Potter we read about the only prophecy we read in the HP series and guess so many things on top of it alone. In Wheel Of Time series Jordan has poured the prophecies all over. You can spend days reading and wondering abt, which I still do.
I have started re-reading the books for now and will be waiting for the fall of 2009.
***: When I finished the 2nd book I couldn't get my hands on the 3rd book soon enough and I was visiting my home town. So I read the 4th book before the 3rd :)
