@bluelion, me too I learned a lesson of those disappearance of my articles which I have not saved. After that I never forget to save my works and ready to release as much as possible to a writing site like this that fits to our writings.

@Mahesh , Hi? It is so nice of your country facing safe climate this time p to June? I think despite no rain there it is sill cold for you are having four seasons.This week there is a coming storm . We are awaiting slow movement of the storm but sad it is strong storm according to our weather bureau.

@ PEEUSH TRIKHA,That happens because of the corrupt Construction builders. Yes, through media is where the construction owners are attacked by media. I walk in the slippery road .It takes me almost 1 hour to cross the bridge that is also full of people struggling to reach the other end where there is dry land vehicles awaiting. The feeling is so…[Read more]

Yes some have been distorted very much. There is currently a show “ChandraNandini” on Star Plus, which looks like it has distorted the historical events during Chandragupta Maurya’s time a bit too much.
Programs like “Bharat Ek Khoj” were better and even “The Sword of Tipu Sultan”.

@tarasquirrel I have not read this collection, but perhaps will in future.
As of now, I have resumed reading books and novels after a long time, and I get less time to do so.

Yes @rebelwoman06 we need to eat things in moderation, even good foods like Veggies, fruits and Milks.
For e.g- If we eat 10 oranges in a day, it is also something that can cause us some kind of a trouble!

I think the best way is to eat natural, fresh foods like fresh vegetables and fruits. We ought to take care of food combinations like not eating milk with fish, or meat.
Avoid curds with pickles.
Do not eat too much refined flour products like cake,pastries, samosas(Indian fried stuff).
Consumption of Pizzas, burgers ought to be within…[Read more]

@IchchheMrityu  I am now relishing this forum very much. So much that I can’t resist coming back here, discussing, commenting and may be starting newer discussions in near future!  🙂
Yes, adaptations can be great if we want viwers in say English to see a great work written in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, or even Chinese, Japanese, Italian, German, F…[Read more]

Well, I do have links and I share on twitter.

@tarasquirrel yes books can have more details. Movies have to cut out some part or shorten it. Exceptions can be in shorter length stories. In cases like “3 idiots” – an adaptation of “Five Point someone” by Chetan Bhagat, the movie was almost as good as the novel, and in some places better.
But of course, it also depends on the script writer,…[Read more]

@lovern Looks like you people need to exert pressure on your authorities to lay stronger roads, may be through social media, as well as through your elected representatives.
It is a fact that in many developing nations, including India there is big corruption in infrastructure projects and sub-standard material is often used to make more profits.

@IchchheMrityu
I also have read “Surely you are joking Mr Feynman” way back in 1995, the year I moved to college from school.
I too have read some serious and non-fiction books, but I have more of a liking for fiction and thrillers.
By the way I am also involved in writing a story series on LB.

Yes @ichchhemrityu
I would have talked about a lot more books but limited to some recent and one older one.
Yes, I have read Dan Brown works too.
First one was “Da Vinci Code” which I read in 2005. Dan Brown too is a good story-teller, but his works tend to be a bit longer and a bit boring in some places.
In fact, my parents tried to read this…[Read more]

@arnoldcruz
“I remember saving my money just to buy his books (paper back edition)………..”
You are such an ardent fan of Robert Ludlum. Great to know this! I was not aware he is no longer alive.
He is great in conceptualization, scene enactment and adding sudden twists and turns. At times, I have fallen almost asleep but read pages upon pages…[Read more]
