I told my favorite niece only a couple of days ago that she should read Garcia Marquez, and now the man is dead.

My niece said: telepathy. She believes in such things, unlike us.

If only I were dead too!

I forgot... do you remember that we also met Marquez there in India? Someone said Marquez will be remembered five centuries from now, just like Cervantes. I don't know: but may be true, he was a masterly story teller.
