Six months have gone by since I have read the book but never posted my thoughts on it. It's the visual effects (saw the movie this morning) I guess which has inspired me to finally pen down my thoughts way before my average time!
The Time Traveler's Wife is a brilliant book by Audrey Niffenegger. I am kinda spellbound to Audrey's creativity and imagination. This book definitely is my kinda read, in one plot she has beautifully managed to strike an awesome balance of all the shades of life!
The 2009 movie with the same title made by Robert Shwentke does 100% justice to the author's creativity. The director has covered almost everything from the book except some incidences were missing from here and there. BTW I have learnt to forgive directors for not putting every page of the book into the movie ;P
I would strictly recommend that one should read the book before watching the movie otherwise the viewer is likely to get lost while tracing the 518 pages of the book in those 107 minutes of the reel. Also, there is a lot of back n forth frames so one may not be able to understand whats happening.
Overall a brilliant book and a good movie combo, provides immense food for thought and opens a big channel of fantasy!

When a mosquito took an Elevator!
Couldn't think of a better title than this! So the story goes like this... I stay on the top floor of a 6 storied building. I really get bugged by insects specially those which fly. My battle with mosquitoes is still on since last 20 odd years and will be on till one of us (its me v/s the species) extincts from the face of earth!
So whenever I used to see mosquito in the apartment, i used to get bummed because being a biology student I know that they can fly up-to a certain height and that was one of the key reasons to buy this apartment. So every entry of this uninvited, unwanted guest used to leave me with big question mark on my face, which would read like, 'Oh crap!!! how the hell you flew so high?'
This morning when I was getting back to my apartment I kinda have solved the mystery of my fragile and infectious enemy from childhood. While I was just moving towards the elevator from the parking lot I was chased by the evil. I rushed into the elevator and pressed 6 but out of the clan 2 mighty ones got in. So this was 2 v/s 1. In those 45 seconds I managed to get rid of one but the one who surviewed me, took the flight of his life and stormed out as soon as the doors sprung open!
Those bastards are taking elevator without even paying the maintainance! Oh I so hate the darn evils!!!
