The Great Indian Novel

This book was read by me 2 months ago, during the semester breaks, but the book was tremendously vague and incomprehensible for me to write a review on it. But lately I came across another piece of writing by the same author, who was recently inked with allegations for using MEA website for promoting his books, and learnt the real implications of this book.
The author wrote this book inspired from a number of authors who have rewritten literary works by some brilliant and eminent authors of all times with a tremendously different perception. The famous example is Gone with the wind written by Margaret Mitchell which was rewritten by Alice Randall as Wind done Gone where the latter narrates the same story from the slave’s point of view.
The Great Indian Novel has been written with a similar intention that manifests The Mahabharata as the story of India, specifically contemporary. The characters of the great epic have been remoulded into our famous freedom fighters. The writer narrates the pre-independent incidents expressing them in the Mahabharata way. The unique factor is the striking resemblance with the freedom fighters, their traits and the incidents they were a part of. Or may be it’s just the writer who has successfully made us believe that way.
The book unfurls Mahabharata right from the beginning, i.e. from Ved vyas and unfolds through a series of incidents like the entry of Bheeshm Pitamah( Gandhi) and the terrible vow he takes, and finally nears the end with the Kurukshetra…
If you ever chance to read this book, then you will appreciate the humours that have been cracked from time to time. A detailed piece of art that goes transcends all conventional writing barriers.
Let alone the fidgety narration of incidents, this book is a pack of entertainment if you search for the joy in it.

Indo Pak dialogues- a fruitless road

When I have nothing to do, I prefer to talk. I suppose the Indo-Pak dialogues over solving the issue of terrorism rests on the same ground. Every single dialogue is a futile attempt towards curbing terrorism.
The Indian Govt is very well acquainted to the fact that why terrorism prevails in India, that includes issues graver than the Kashmir one. Still it behaves like an infant by continuously clamoring for Hafiz Saeed.Anti-India Terrorism does originate in Pakistan but the fodder it nurtures on is freely available in India. The motivation is floating in Indian air. One needs to just tap it which is not at all a tough job.
Time has come when government should act prudently and nip the peril from it's root, and stop playing charades.

I feel bad

This issue never made me feel incompetent, neither has it ever done my head in. But at times it has given me a reason to feel bad when I realise that I have never been able to 'enjoy' a head-phone....

hand got bruised, still happy I am

Today bruised my left hand with clogged gear shifter of Bajaj chetak.. hell lot of effort it needs for a shift, and has got a lot of play in it... still I don't feel bad about it, owing to the fact that it has been nudged out of the production lines... but not from our hearts... Hamara Bajaj
Note: play is a term used to define a peculiar condition of a machine element in which it has got undesirable motion in addition to it's usual motion, if at all any.
For eg.: a worn out bolt tends to sway orthogonally to it's axis when fitted .
:-D

I didnt like this movie

inglorious basterds is a falsely glorified movie, as I perceive it. The history has been pathetically manipulated and the subtlety is missing in the modus operandi of double agents.Finally I'll write what a movie review quotes:"A movie satisfying the desire of torture porn against Nazis....." But do watch it if you love fiction.... and unpredictable stories.
