Children's Omnibus

This is the hilarious book that peeks into childhood which is very close to all but can not be expressed as lively as Ruskin Bond.

The Afghan

This globe covering story I found as continum of three parts. First being the interception of phone call out of Peshawar by rabbit warren constituting CTC and this leading to hint by aideTerry Martin to send his brother Mike among AQ activists to unfold Al-Isra- potential next terrorist plot after London bombing. In the second, life of Mike Martin and Izmat Khan before 9/11 is portrayed. And third being actually where terrorist plan is sent awry by Martyr Mike who also happens to be the isthumus between first and third part of book by conveying single message to intelligence agencies that some ship is what terrorist are onboard. Rating-4/5

Point of view

I felt daja vu reading Newspaper reporting Sensex rise, Zahira trial, Sachin's injury, Multicrore fake stamp paper scam, Narmada Andolan, militants killed in Baghdad, blast in Kashmir. Over time this has caused me being indifferent in attitude. There is progress underneath repeated and same news appearances, its only mind that's demanding happening things.

Either side

Sides have always occupied emphasis expressing location.
On-off, obverse-reverse, east-west are relative divisions causing dillema. Things like Left-handed gitar though introduce importance to sides.
Well, here is the western coast of England or eastern?

History

To me history leaps backs to garden of Eden and not Eden Garden :-). But hundred years seems gigantic when brand promotion resorts to it saying 'since 1925' 'since 1895'. Is legacy that powerful?

Streaking the context of past to achieve goals and celebrate. One can see that in sports, for example, when Sachin went past Gavaskar in test centuries.

One more intriguing thing I find because I am from Maharashtra - When history comes to mind it comes inevitably with Shivaji Maharaj.

Shall keep short on this post.
