Thats awesome! I once saw him lunching at Leopold's. He was chatting with the staff like they were his old friends! And ofcourse he was being crowded by adoring fans so I didn't get an opportunity to talk to him :) Hi Nitesh,

Finally! The end was really quite a dampner. I thought there would be a logical conclusion on how he finally managed to stop living a fugitive's life... but there was no indications on that and I also felt some other loose ends were left unanswered... it was something like after 900 pages, he decided abrubtly thats he's written enough and quickly wrapped it up. :( So I finished shantaram!
