Getting ready to leave to India

I am packing off my suitcases to fly to India. Will be in India for a month - starting from Jan 1 to Feb 1. Yeah, I will be working for 3 weeks from India.
I should be meeting Ashok while I am in Chennai.

Update on Book 2

Ashok started writing for Book 2 in beginning of 2009. But he had to stop owing to the projects he had. He manage to add a chapter in Oct. We have added a chapter similar to the Book 1, where the old Fox narrates the story. I am sorry I am not going to reveal the details.

The plan is to add 4 chapters a month, and about 4000 words a month. We also plan to have the Book 2 completed by the Aug-Sep 2010.

AVATAR

Watched and enjoyed the visual spectacle called the AVATAR. Though there has been critisim about the story itself, you cannot take anything away from AVATAR the visual treat. I was even more rejoiced when people say that Avatar reminded them of the Dynast. This is a great feeling to be a part of the Dynast and being a creator. It creates a sense of pride. I hope in the near future the Dynast also enjoys a similar success as the Avatar.

Avatar the movie

I watched AVATAR here in AMC Mercado (Santa Clara). It was to watch it on the 3D.
AVATAR was a fantastic movie, a great visual treat. It elements of Hero-cycle, which is closely followed in the Dynast.
