Sadly Duped...... :(

I know I have not been writing for a long time now…Been telling people I am not inspired enough to right about anything right now. And then this had to happen….

So Harry Potter mania set in a week back. I saw lot of my friends going bonkers about getting a copy for themselves and of course there were others who were sitting quite smug after preordering a copy. And then there was me…I hadn’t preordered a book but I was excited about this final installment of a book which has gripped millions releasing. I was contemplating on buying the book when I come across this pdf version of the book. You can imagine my pleasure…. So in that instant of overt generosity I sent this particular copy to most of my friends asking them to enjoy the benevolence of a charitable heart (that’s me of course).

I started reading the book some two days ago. As I was juggling almost three books at the same time I couldn’t really make headway into this one. Even then I kept thinking some how this doesn’t feel right…there was lot of mush between Ginny and HP( I hope some of the people reading the blog have read one of the books to know the character), the book was supposed to be dark, the finale to the most popular and talked about book and yet it did not seem right. In a moment of desperation I went to check the end and voila what I see is both Harry and Ron (who according to a spoiler realized before the book should have been dead by now) prancing around with Draco Malfoy. That piqued my curiosity and the thought did cross my mind that this can be a counterfeit. But then giving myself too much credit I kept saying “cant be…I would have realized long time back”. Finally when I couldn’t control myself I asked a friend of mine ( Ramya- who is already through 3/4^th of the book and would prefer finishing the book then socializing or talking to me even) if the story was as I told her… Well, please believe me when I say there r two people still laughing over the whole thing (no not me..i am too hurt)- my husband and my friend…. I have been duped big time. Of course vanity makes me give the person some credit for writing such good material almost like the original..well who am I kidding!!!!

Please check out the link you would know what I am talking about…..and I shall go back to reading the original hoping and praying this isn’t another fraud version floating around.

And to all the people I sent the copy last week, trust me I was tempted to not let the cat out of the bag…get some kind of sadistic pleasure out of it….but then this darn kind heart of mine………
