Yipee for the virtual party

Hi folks,
Here I am, blogging in the afternoon from Bangalore, India. Am off to Hyderabad tonight. By the time, the party is in full swing, I will be rocking in another city (well, hopefully, the air ticket is on the waiting list). Sean, thanks for thinking about me and creating a profile. It is fun not to miss out on the virtual party. So cheers everyone, BNA sure rocks!
Hmmm... travel story, well I havent' been adventurous of late. But here is a funny incident. Recently, I was scouting the bookstores in my city, searching for Jen's book:Sand in my bra. I actually showed my favourite bookshop owner, Higginbothams on MG Road, the picture of the first lady with the book (check out Jen's blog, it is there) and he promised to obtain it for me some how or the other. A few days later, I get a phone call. A very embarrassed sounding bookshop owner enquires"Is it a porn book?" You see he got into a red tape tangle trying to get the clearance for importing it.... Well, well, with the second book coming up, with a much more AWESOME TITLE I think I will have another session with the bookshop owners.
Cheers and have a blast virtual or otherwise!
Dusty

Dusty, give me your address so I can frickin send you the book! I love hearing about these inept booksellers, but you're trying so hard that I'm willing to pay the extra expense. And BTW, PB just offered to pay for it.
