Strangers on a train is a play based on the Hitchcock movie by the same name, but with a storyline of its own. It is based on quite an interesting idea, that two strangers who meet on a train agree to murder a person for the other. And they think they will never get caught, because the police will never suspect them as they are not connected.

There are many authors that I have been impressed with, but Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a world apart. There are authors who write, and then there are authors who make you feel..

They take you through a journey, where you forget yourself and just see the world that he wants you to see.. Its almost as if you are cut off from the rest of the world when you read his books, you flow with the stories, and come back to the real world only when you keep the book down...
