Adieu Gary Cooper has been one of the most favorite books of mine and a few close friends. It is full of interesting characters and we always enjoy quoting from it in different occasions.

Tonight, I was browsing Orkut which is a social networking application and you can list your friends and upload some photos and information about yourself . In Orkut, you find tens of thousands of names and photos of people in it, those who are connected to your friends, friends of your friends and so on; those you never knew about them and suddenly you find so much information about them, their interests, places they have been, picture of their families and friends, their best friends, their Halloween customs, etc. etc. and it reminded me a character in Adieu Gary Cooper who was tired of all lies and dishonesties around him and had believed the only book that says nothing but truth is city phone book! Still, just to make sure all the information in the phone book is right he was checking it time to time by picking a random name and call the associated number to the name! Just to make sure this one doesn’t lie and tells the truth, consistently!
