Susan Boyle Has Got Talent ..................

Americans are a visual society ..... British are an auditory society !!!

GIN - Great Indian Novel ..................

Shashi Tharoor is a good writer of contemporary politics .....
The fact that he was considered for the position of the UN Secretary General is enough to establish his political credentials.......Becoming a minister of state in his very first outing in the Lok Sabha is an icing in the cake for Tharoor ........

This book is one of the very best I have read in recent times.... The book marries Indian mythology with the freedom struggle and recent politics ....... Filled with humor and sarcasm, the author tells both stories very successfully and also chips in with his subtle observations (especially about independence and after) ......

The vast array of characters in the epic, along with numerous sub-plots embedded into the main plot, make for an absorbing narrative..... Tharoor has brilliantly mapped these mythological characters and events to the freedom fighters, politicians, bureaucrats and the evolution of the modern state of India .........

Every chapter reveals an unexpected parallelism between past and present or a breathtakingly startling point of view ........ No Indian who has lived through the Emergency will again think of its chief protagonist without recalling the fictionalised scene of her portentous birth ..........

The end result after reading this book is an account that offers food for thought in a mildly palatable way !!!

Mayan's Doomsday Prophecy ...... Friday, Dec 21, 2012

Its been a week of break for me to pen down ..... Was running short on a piece ..... But interestingly came across Mayans calendar predicting 2012 apocalypse !!!

People are easily charmed and lead but I also think part of this 2012 appeal is the mystery......... We find it interesting that a culture was able to create a very accurate calendar that for some reason ends on a date most of us will live to see......

It's like Y2K, many were curious and talked about the date being 'end of times' but how many actually took steps to prepare for disaster ?? ........ There's a line between active discussion and active belief - people enjoy reading about these sorts of things, doesn't mean they deep down believe it to be true...........We enjoy our fiction, we enjoy a bit of danger - that's the bulk of it ..........

Then again I could be completely wrong. After all I’m only human ............

She Nailed It ................. Cannes '09 !!!

I am breaking into a song, “At Last!” She is truly ravishing in this ensemble at Cannes '09 ...... Carrying it off well, and I love the hairdo with the braids...... It adds to a little touch of desi in the strapless white gown outfit ...............

Love the way she is carrying it off ............
Clothes do make a difference, no matter how beautiful a person is ....... I am so happy that Aishwarya found her groove a l’Armani prive .........

Now I also would love to see her in the dress Penelope wore for the Oscars !!! Gosh, let women in there 30’s look like women in their 30’s ........
You nailed it my dear ........ A real fresh look .........

Whom Do You Trust ???

" Whom do you trust? " is the climacteric question in life ..... If so ........ why ??

Is this an inescapable concept ??
To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved ??

Or do we love all and trust few ........
What's your take ???
Think thrice before you even react to this dubiety ........................ À bientôt !!!

My Pillars Of Strength ............

Life has its own course ....... Its own plans ...... Its own lessons ...... Mine shows things very unconventional ...... To know all the sacred relations, cherish them, treasure them .......

My life has taught me that we have been sent on this earth with a set of soul mates ....... They give you a reflection of yourself time and again...... In them you truly find the solace that you seek ..........

I see my reflection in you and yours in me
............. I know when I'm searching for answers where to look for them ............. And when I'm lost where to find myself .............

I never knew that one decision could give me so much against a lot more ........ It was a choice between two destinies - My coming to Kurukshetra ... And you were one of the positive phenomena of my life there .......

It’s great to have met you, to know you, to be with you - In all times ......
May this never end Soup !!! Love You ..........
Adiós Amigo ......... :)
