I am upset, really really upset . . . had I been buying books from a street peddled, I might have expected or made peace with it all, but I had bought this book from a good bookstore (The Corner Bookstore inside St.Mark's Road Barista/Lavazza, Bangalore), for a good price, and it had seven whole pages missing in the end . . .
One flips through the book to ensure if the print is okie, if no pages are torn, but I dont jump to the last page to read how the story ends! And I credit myself for the patience that I have there.
It was even more torturing, coz I was awake till wee hours of the morning, tyring to finish off this book, and at somewhere around 4 AM I realise my book is way short of the closing lines!!!
Dunno who to blame, coz there is no way to ensure life wld be fair and square...even if you give it your best shot.
Damn, "The Inscrutable Americans", it just had to live upto its name . . .
