Feel kicked because ...

I just ordered "Bono: In Conversation" by Michka Assayas - where the author has compiled the conversations he has been having with Bono over the last few years. The reasons, I feel kicked about it are the following

• A "been-in-the-USA-pain-in-the-ass" someone I know always made it a point to remind me that all it takes for him to buy something in the You.Yesss is to go to the amazon, book it and buy it while in India, people don't understand the value of time wasted in such trivialities. I dedicate this maiden purchase to him - And for the indian integrity doubters, there's an option where you can pay on delivery giving you a hundred percent secure transaction.
  
• There's something so good about buying a book that's just found its place on the shelves, sitting in A1.107 in bangalore at the same time when bono is signing copies for fans in boston - so unlike, when every Tom D and Harry has read it and gives you his two cents before you can even smell the scent of the freshly bought book.
• I am a great fan of Bono (quite understandable, given U2 is the only band that finds mention in this blog). As a singer, writer and activist and a personality ... I personally think it takes a lot of guts to go on stage (in paris during MTV Awards ceremony) and say this before millions of people - ""What a city" (cheers and applause), "what a night" (cheers and applause), "what a bomb" (confused laughter and applause), "what a mistake" (mixed response), "what a wanker you have for President"" (FYI - This happened soon after France did its nuclear bomb tests) - More on him later.
  
• There's something special about the premoridial satisfaction of wanting something and doing the needful to get it right away.
  

Hoping they deliver it by the end of this week so that I have something for this weekend :)
