Boy.. there is nothing like a racy thriller that can keep me occupied and in a state of constant excitement. I can almost feel the rush of adrenaline within me and blood pounding my brain, particularly when I am nearing the solution of the mystery. I just completed my book "Silent Predator" by Tony Park. I started it of day before yesterday or so once I completed my "Four Just Men" by Edgar Wallace. By the time I completed it, I needed a cool drink to bring down my temperature.
The recent set of books which gave me the same excitement apart from the Silent Predator are the "Anatomist's Apprentice (a Dr Thomas Silkstone Mystery #1)" - Tessa Harris and "The Interpretation of Murder" - Jed Rubenfeld. All these three were page turners and I was in for a surprise till the last page. I love reading these kind of books. I have got two more with me to continue my reading spree. Especially for someone who has been shuffled between projects to delivery some quickies, these books bring a lot of the much needed stress relief (it also adds some stress as these stories keep playing at the back of my head all day long and I run back home to complete them, literally) and my electricity bills down (no TV until I finish these books, except for the CSK matches ..just like the one today which is getting stopped because of the rain)
If you want some racy thrillers (I would rate them 3/5...all three...) to engage yourself, pick one or all of the above mentioned books and you will not be disappointed.
Happy Reading...

And when I was trying to cool myself off, the few seconds rain cleared and game continued.. even beyond 12 in the morning and I was so frustrated that CSK will go to another last ball game (Hussey was gone.. Dhoni ... gone...) that I went to sleep.. The last match which I saw , CSK went to the last ball and lost!!! That was so so sad.. I did not want a sad ending today..
But when I got up the next morning, I badly wanted to check the result of the match and to my surprise, the paperwala forgot to put the paper today.. Shoot.. I logged on and checked the result of the game.. Boy!! CSK won!!! wow.. Ran to the TV to check the news channel and to my sweet surprise, the last channel that I had watched was Set Max.. There was the match being replayed.. I was like "aathaadi!!!! U must be kidding me right..". No points for guessing what I did next.. Just relaxed. Completed the match and then started for my office...CSK are pure entertainers man.. They raise your hopes and drop them and then suddenly out of the blue there is a new guy who would deliver, mostly from the least expected person.... You never know how the game would go in a CSK match (mostly because may be those are the ones I mostly watch..)
When I had thought that Jadeja would do the honors of winning the match... he got out.. It was like a Whodunit at that point of time. I was getting super excited.. inspite of knowing the result.. Then there was Morkel and Anirudha. Whenver I see Morkel I dont know why I get a feeling that things will be alright.. He and his dead cool demeanor gives me so much comfort, I dont know why. He is one guy whom I have always loved to watch all through the CSK's IPL history.. (I wish he is there in CSK forever ;) ) Then I wished that he would do it.. And there was this big anti climax.. Boy.. I was like.. "WOW.. I would have had a heart attack if I had seen it yday night.... ". I love IPLs :D

After the match with KKR in Eden Gardens..
Chennai super kings ku raise your hands :).. I almost had a super HIGH BP. Boys.... cant you please stop doing this again and again.. Wow.. too much excitement is bad for my health paa.. ennala mudiyala.. if the floor was filled with sand, my head would have been inside it.. oops.. All the very best CSK.. keep going..
