It is said Somerset Maugham traveled the world with a notebook to learn the essence of life and Kafka sat in a room for the same objective. Yet Kafka came out with a better world-view. - U.R. ANANTHA MURTHY

Are you sure that this was first told by Ananthamurthy? I am doubtful because I've seen the exact words in an introduction to " Vaikom Muhammed Basheer's complete works" written by MT Vasudevan Nair or T Padmanabhan (dont remember exactly).
Surprised to see your comments at my little blog. Thanks :-)
This blog is a result of my delusion, hallucination and imagination. It is pure fiction. I don't intend, mean or convey anything through it. If you make any sense out of it, please contact the nearest shrink.

Agreed. Further lower you wouldn't be scratching your back.
