If I come across any English translations, I'll be sure you let you guys know. g Unfortunately I’m not well-versed with Tendulkar’s works either.

Vijay Tendulkar is a towering figure in Marathi literature. But when it comes to literature, I'm the wrong guy! Maybe Gauri or Asuph can help out here?

The Untouchables was a very unique film and Niro really excelled in this one..I would say his best performance I have seen after ofcourse Taxi Driver. Talking of Eastwood, I have to still see some of his well known films. I loved his Mystic River. You mentioned Vijay Tendulkar again..I think he was a brilliant writer and a thinker. Though apart from the movies based on his plays and writings, I havent seen any of his work. Any English translations of his works you wanna suggest? Mahendra, again good choices.

Yeah, I'm collecting spoons. Thankfully there is a water shortage in pune. But it's on my list for a while. Untouchables, I liked more for the stylized performances. A good entertainment. Unbearable lightness... frankly, I don't have the guts. Maybe some day, I just might gather the courage. The book is, of course, amazing. My U movie (until I watch Unforgiven, that is), is Uzak (Distant). Intimately personal, agonizingly slow, with not much happening, besides you getting into the character's mind. Strongly recommend. regards, asuph Unbelievable, but I haven’t still watched unforgiven. Yeah, I’m collecting spoons. Thankfully there is a water shortage in pune.
