A novelist, an ex-politician, an artist, a teacher, an army man, a sportsperson. What an exuberant and a multi-faceted personality. Lord Jeffrey Archer! So simple, yet so rich like his works. He truly walks what he talks.
I have grown up with his “Kane and Abel” and “Not a penny less, not a penny more”. These are truly his best books. Certified page-turners. He has always captivated his audiences with his intriguing characters. He has never stopped enthralling his fans since then. He always gets a surreal, overwhelming response for all his works, which of course he deserves and about which the Lord is extremely delighted!
Happened to listen to this legendary writer on the ‘walk the talk show’ on NDTV the last Sunday. I was awe inspired by his art of dealing with details on the topics he was shooted. Colors of India came alive from Jeffrey Archer on this show. Be it the rock concert he recently attended, politics or IPL cricket. He says that he has always enjoyed watching India and England playing Test cricket at the Lords, minus the cheerleaders of course ;) (He is right. Why would you want these so called cheerleaders when there are 40,000 highly energised crowd cheering you. The essence and spirit of the game dies with this. This kinda cricket with the so called cheer leaders shall least be called 'bikini cricket'!). He was so much in appreciation for the Indian batting line up (need I say anything??)!
I realized that Jeffrey Archer and I do share somethings in common. He likes RK Narayan and so do I. He has the same opinion on Indian woman and traffic as I do. He says, “It’s high time they appoint some Indian woman as ministers. The next generation of women in India are going to the very top”. Watch for it!! ;) Wonder what changes Jeffrey could bring in if he is appointed as the Transport minister. I would definitely wanna look forward to that day though! Wish it could be a part of my probables list(Now, I know that’s too much to have said)[Wink].
Can’t wait to read his upcoming book which is in its draft version - 'Parts of glory'. “For the first time I am writing a story that is true. It has references to India as well”, he says. There are many “twists in the tale” he promises.
