			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have saved the following story for the past one year to share this with you on This Day, December 6, Feast of St. Nicolas or Santa Claus. This comes from <a href="http://cantuar.blogspot.com/2010/12/saint-nicholas-punches-heretics-in-face.html" target="_blank">Canterbury Tales</a>:</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="St. Nic" src="http://i.imgur.com/MoGar.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="400" /></p>
<blockquote><p>During the First Ecumenical Council of Nicea (AD 325), Arius was called upon to defend his position on the inferiority of Christ. Saint Nicholas just couldn&#8217;t listen to all of Arius&#8217; nonsense and so he stood up and laid in to Arius with his fist.</p>
<p>The Emperor Constantine and the bishops present at the Council were alarmed by Nicholas&#8217; act of violence against Arius. They immediately stripped Nicholas of his office as a bishop by confiscating the two items that marked out a man as a Christian bishop: Nicholas&#8217; personal copy of the Gospels and his pallium (the vestment worn by all bishops in the East).</p>
<p>Now if that were the end of the story, we probably wouldn&#8217;t know about Saint Nicholas, and our children wouldn&#8217;t be asking him for presents. However, after Nicholas was deposed, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary visited Nicholas who was being held in a prison cell for his fist-fight with the heretic.</p>
<p>Our Lord Jesus Christ asked Saint Nicholas, &#8220;Why are you here?&#8221; Nicholas responded, &#8220;Because I love you, my Lord and my God.&#8221;</p>
<p>Christ then presented Nicholas with his copy of the Gospels. Next, the Blessed Virgin vested Nicholas with his episcopal pallium, thus restoring him to his rank as a bishop.</p></blockquote>
<p>Wish you all a happy feast of St. Nic&#8230; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>[P.S: Since I finished my studies and have joined in a Company, I might not get time to blog in the next few months. But I'll be back soon. Please do pray for me that I 'll come back home soon. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  ]</p>

<p>Not long ago I had <em>Sharjah Milk Shake</em> with my friend opposite to my university. It became my instant favorite. I have no idea how I spent three years there without knowing about this.. I was told the name <em>Sharjah</em>was a local one. But the info was wrong. It is a famous recipe and a common name. Internet is full of it. Here is the <a href="http://www.cookingandme.com/2010/03/sharjah-shake-step-by-step-recipe.html" target="_blank">Complete Recipe</a> by Ms. Nagalakshmi. Hope you like it too..</p>
<p>By the way, please don&#8217;t use Horlicks as an alternative as recommended in there&#8230; It doesn&#8217;t taste good at all. Believe me, I tried it. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Try it and let me know how it is.. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I borrowed Revolution 2020, the new book by Chetan Bhagat. I didn&#8217;t buy it because my friend said that I could keep it after he reads it (Thanks Sathish.. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  ). Also partly because of the <a href="http://sriarjunan.blogspot.com/2011/10/revolution-2020.html" target="_blank">reviews</a> it <a href="https://plus.google.com/100704824163569864411/posts/2CgD9LyKv98">received</a> online. As most of them pointed out, this novel is more like a cinema script than a novel. Most importantly the climax. I would not be surprised if this book was made into a bollywood movie in the near future, who knows Chetan himself can play Ragav.. <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This is a good book to read once. I would give 2/5 for this book. Among all his books <a title="Finished Reading “2 States-The Story of My Marriage” – Chetan Bhagat" href="http://madharasan.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/finished-reading-2-states-the-story-of-my-marriage-%e2%80%93-chetan-bhagat/" target="_blank">2 States</a> is still my favorite book. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I do have one minor issue with this book. When New York Times recently <a href="http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/16/make-room-for-hinglish/" target="_blank">pointed out</a> the degrading quality of English in Indian novels, Chetan was quick to criticize them saying that,</p>
<blockquote><p>And I try to catch authentic dialogue that matches the character. even if that isn&#8217;t correct queen&#8217;s English. Duh! [sic] (<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/chetan_bhagat/status/114704206459441152">src</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>I accepting his logic, I can go on-board with characters ending English sentences with &#8216;<em>no</em>&#8216; in an unreasonable manner or other errors inside quotes. But there are some errors which which confused me and made it difficult for me to understand the book. For example:<span id="more-6129"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>FlyingAarti: Of course. See, Raghav has ditched me for <em>Chak de India</em> all week. <em>(Pg. 87, last couple of lines)</em></p></blockquote>
<p>From the above sentence, if you thought Ragav ditched aarti and went to see the film <em>Chak de India</em>, you are wrong. In-fact he didn&#8217;t go to the movie and that was her point.</p>
<p>There are numerous other errors in grammar, tense and sentence patterns, But I am not going to go into that.</p>
<p>In the same twitter conversation about the NYT, Chetan also went on to say that he has four editors who corrects his book. (<a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/chetan_bhagat/status/114704525494992896" target="_blank">src</a>) I seriously doubt that.</p>
<p>Mr. Chetan , English Language has grammar for a purpose. Please do follow at-least the basic rules. Trying to focus on the language style in order to bring reality into the characters is good. But when you push it too far, you will miss the point you wanted to make in the first place.</p>

<p>துத்தித் துதைதி துதைதத்தா தூதுதி</p>
<p>தித்தித்த தித்தித்த தாதெது? தித்தித்த</p>
<p>தெத்தாதோ தித்தித்த தாது?</p></blockquote>
<p>நூல்: தனிப்பாடல்</p>
<p>பாடியவர்: காளமேகம்</p>
<p>சூழல்: முற்றிலும் ‘த’கர எழுத்துகளைமட்டுமே வைத்து எழுதப்பட்ட வெண்பா இது – கீழே உள்ள ‘சுருக்’ விளக்கம் மொக்கையாகத் தோன்றுகிறதே என்று நினைக்கவேண்டாம், இதைச் சொல்வதற்காக அவர் எப்பேர்ப்பட்ட வார்த்தை விளையாட்டு ஆடியிருக்கிறார் என்பது கொஞ்சம் கவனமாகப் பிரித்தால்தான் விளங்கும் – முழு விளக்கத்தைப் படிக்கவும்<span id="more-6124"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>விளக்கம்: வண்டே, நீ பல பூக்களைச் சென்று பார்த்துத் தேன் உண்கிறாய், அதில் மிகவும் இனிப்பான பூ எது?</p>
<p>முழு விளக்கம்:</p>
<p>வண்டே,</p>
<p><strong>தத்தித் தாது ஊதுதி</strong> – தத்திச் சென்று (மலர்களில் உள்ள) மகரந்தத்தை ஊதுகிறாய் / குடிக்கிறாய்</p>
<p><strong>தாது ஊதித் தத்துதி</strong> – குடித்தபின் மீண்டும் தத்திச் செல்கிறாய்</p>
<p><strong>துத்தித் துதைதி</strong> – ’துத்தி’ என்று ஒலி எழுப்பியபடி அடுத்த பூவைத் தேடிப் போகிறாய்</p>
<p><strong>துதைது</strong> – அடுத்த பூவுக்குச் சென்று</p>
<p><strong>அத்தாது ஊதுதி</strong> – அந்தப் பூவின் மகரந்தையும் குடிக்கிறாய்</p>
<p><strong>தித்தித்த தித்தித்த தாது எது? தித்தித்தது எத்தாதோ தித்தித்த தாது?</strong> - நீ இதுவரை குடித்த பூக்களில் / மகரந்தங்களில் மிகவும் இனிப்பானது எது?</p></blockquote>

<p>அரசன், அரசி, அவர்களைச் சுற்றிலும், இவ்வளவு மலர்கள் நறுமணம் வீசிக்கொண்டிருந்த போதிலும், மன்னனுக்குத் தன் அருகில் இருந்த அரசியின் கூந்தலில் தனியொரு நறுமணம்_மாறுபட்ட மணம் கமழ்வதாக உணர்ந்தான்.</p>
<blockquote><p>திரும்பித்தன் தேவிதன்னை நோக்கினான்<br />
தேவி அய்ம்பால்<br />
இரும்பித்தை வாசமாகி இருந்தது<br />
ஈண்டுஇவ் வாசம்<br />

வெனஅய்யம் கொண்டான்</p></blockquote>
<p>அரசனல்லவா? உடனே தனக்கு ஏற்பட்ட ஐயத்தை அறிவித்து, தீர்த்துவைப்பவருக்கு ஆயிரம் பொன் பரிசு எனக் கூறினார். இங்கே எனது 12ஆம் வகுப்பு தமிழ் ஆசிரியர், &#8220;மங்கையின் கூந்தலுக்கு இயற்கை மணமா? செயற்கை மணமா என்று ஆராய்வது தான் ஒரு அரசனின் வேலையா? இந்த லட்சணத்தில் அவனது ஆட்சி எந்தப் போக்கில் இருந்திருக்கும்.&#8221; சொன்னது நினைவுக்கு வருகின்றது. அப்போது நாங்க எல்லோரும் வாய்விட்டு சிறித்தோம். ஹ்ம்ம் அது ஒரு கானாக்காலாம்&#8230;. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-6102"></span></p>
<p>மன்னனுக்கு ஏற்பட்ட சந்தேகத்தை தீர்க்க தர்ருமி மூலம் சிவன் அளித்தப்பாடல்:</p>
<blockquote><p>”கொங்குதேர் வாழ்க்கை அம்சிறைத் தும்பி<br />
காமம் செப்பாது கண்டது மொழிமோ<br />
பயிலியது கெழீஇய நட்பின் மயிலியல்<br />
செறிஎயிற்று அரிவை கூந்தலின்<br />
நறியவும் உளவோ நீயறியும் பூவே ”</p></blockquote>
<p>பொருள்: தேனை ஆராய்ந்து சேர்க்கும் வாழ்க்கையுடைய அழகிய சிறகையுடைய தும்பியே,நான் கடவுள் காரணத்தால் பட்சபாதம் இல்லாமல் நேரே தெரிந்ததை உள்ளவாறே சொல்வாயாக. மயில் போன்ற சாயலும், பொருந்திய பற்களும் கொண்ட கற்புடை மங்கையின் கூந்தலைவிட நறுமனம் கொண்ட மலர்கள் நீ அறிந்தவைகளில் உளவோ.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="375"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m-xLGALYZyk?version=3&#038;feature=oembed"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m-xLGALYZyk?version=3&#038;feature=oembed" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="375" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>இந்தப்பாடலில் குற்றம் கண்ட புலவர் நக்கீரரை தேடிச்சென்ற சிவன், அவரைப்பார்த்து:</p>
<blockquote><p>அங்கம் வளர்க்க அரிவாளில் நெய்தடவிப்<br />
பங்கம் படஇரண்டு கால்பரப்பிச்- சங்கதனைக்<br />
கீருகீர் என்று அறுக்கும் கீரனோ என்கவியைப்<br />
பாரில் பழுதுஎன் பவன்</p></blockquote>
<p>பொருள்: தன் உடலை வளர்ப்பதற்கு வாளில் நெய்தடவி இரண்டு கால்களையும் விரித்து அமர்ந்து சங்கை அறுக்கும் கீரனோ என் பாட்டில் குறை சொல்பவன்.</p>
<p>அதற்கு நக்கீரர்:</p>
<blockquote><p>சங்கறுப்பது எங்கள் குலம் சங்கரர்க்கு அங்கு எது குலம்<br />
பங்கமுறச் சொன்னால் பழுதாமோ&#8211; சங்கை<br />
அரிந்துண்டு வாழ்வோம் அரனாரைப் போல<br />
இரந்துண்டு வாழோம் இனி</p></blockquote>
<p>பொருள்: சங்கை அறுத்து வாழ்வது எங்கள் குலம்,ஆனால் சிவனுக்கு குலம் ஏது. உள்ள குறையைப் பொருத்தமாகச் சொன்னால் அது தவறாகுமோ? நாங்கள் தொழில் செய்து வாழ்கிறோம் ஆனால் சிவனைப் (உன்னைப்)போல் யாசித்து உண்டு வாழ மாட்டோம்.</p>
<p>எவ்வளவுதான் பொறுப்பது. தமிழைப் பழகிக் கொண்டு, ஒரு மானிடப்பதர் தன்னைப் பார்த்து இப்படி கேட்கலாமா என நெற்றிக் கண்ணைத் திறந்து காண்பித்தார் சிவன். அவர் அதற்கும் அசரவில்லை.</p>
<p>நக்கீரார்:</p>
<blockquote><p>முற்றும் நீர் கண்ணானாலும்<br />
மொழிந்த நும்பாடல் குற்றம்</p></blockquote>
<p>இதைக்கேட்ட பின் தான் சிவன் கோபம் கொண்டு நக்கீரனை எறித்தார்.</p>
<p>அதன் பின்பு நடந்தது உங்களுக்கே தெரியுமே&#8230;</p>

<p>Mahatma meaning &#8216;a great soul&#8217; is an apt title to this man, who with a single bamboo stick fought against the mighty British empire <strong><em>and won</em></strong>&#8230; He is the best manager I have ever known. He united the entire India, which was divided by race, religion, caste and other socio-economical problems. He fought with non-violence and showed the world <em><strong>it</strong></em> can be done.</p>
<p>As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, &#8220;Jesus showed the idea, but Gandhi gave us the method&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived &#8211; a private man without wealth, without property, without official title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not the commander of great armies nor a ruler of vast lands. He could not boast any scientific achievement or artistic gift. Yet men, governments and dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands today to pay homage to this little brown man in the loincloth who led his country to freedom.</p>
<p>In the words of General George C. Marshall, the American Secretary of State, &#8220;Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of all mankind. He was a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>And Albert Einstein added, &#8220;<span style="color:#993300;">Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.</span></strong>&#8221; &#8211; <a class="zem_slink" title="Edward R. Murrow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_R._Murrow" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Edward R. Murrow</a>: [at Gandhi's funeral]</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Wish you all a Happy Gandhi Jayanthi</strong></p>

<p>Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. <em>The round pegs in the square holes</em>.</p>
<p>The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.</p>
<p>About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.</p>
<p>Maybe they have to be crazy.</p>
<p>How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?</p>
<p>While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. <strong>Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.</strong></p>
<p>- Advertising slogan created for Apple Computers in 1997</p>

<p>Recently read <strong>Light Of The World : The Pope, The Church and The Signs Of The Times</strong> (Ignatius Press ISBN: 9781586176068. My Library: 160)</p>
<p>The newest book by the pope is a series of interviews of the Pope Benedict XVI by Peter Seewald. Everyone knows <em>what</em> the pope teaches, but this books is a must if you want to know <em>why</em> he teaches that. As for me the only reason I bought this book was because it was written by the man who holds the chair of St. Peter. This book is a must for every catholic. It paints a clear picture of the wise and prudent shepherd the church is blessed with. Joseph Ratzinger, shows that he is a professor all thru this book. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Some of this answers were very wise. Resembles his deep theological knowledge. Some of his answers, made me to think for hours together.</p>
<p>For example his explanation for comprehending God and His nature by the human mind, (p. 174-175):<span id="more-6031"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;.<em>God does not force himself upon us</em>. Not in the way that I can&#8217;t help noticing, say, a glass on the table here, where I have no choice but to say &#8220;there it is!&#8221; His existence is an encounter that reaches down into man&#8217;s inmost depths but that can never be reduced to the tangibility of a merely material thing. &#8230;. Faith is always an event that happens in freedom. <em>That event contains certainty &#8230;. but never excludes the possibility of Denial</em></p></blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/DowWX.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="168" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Contradiction: Atheism and Theism which is reasonable?</p></div>
<p>In this book he talks about serious things like clergy abuse scandal, genuine dialogue with Islam, possibility of rethinking the church&#8217;s core teaching and other light thing like what films pope watch, what does he do in his free time, if he has any etc.,</p>
<p>He also clearly tackles the problems the modern world faces, and the influence/role of media in it.</p>
<p>By the way this is the book which was misquoted by the press and the media purposefully, stating that the pope approved the use of condoms under certain circumstances. I have read it, and he didn&#8217;t even remotely mean that. Any sensible reader can know that. It was completely taken out of context, if they have done a similar thing to another person or religious leader&#8230;. You know what would have happened..</p>
<p>The office of St. Peter is one of the most difficult one. As George Weigel, says in his foreword for this book, the man who wears the ring of the fisher man is in a unique position to comment about happenings in the world, because unlike others, he sees them with a view of love and service and not of profit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The frequent power cuts in my home town has one good side effect. It gives me time to read. Between frequent power cuts and waiting for my call letter, the only reasonable thing to do which is productive in the long run is to read books, read them as much as I can.</p>
<p>I really miss <code>pre-internet</code> era of my life, when I used to read a lot of books. It is a wonderful feeling to get lost in reading.</p>
<p>Anyway I have finished reading these books for now:</p>
<h3>நிறமற்ற வானவில்<small> &#8211; சுஜாதா</small></h3>
<p>Read this book when I was traveling to my mom&#8217;s native place. A nice book. Sujatha&#8217;s vivid description of the feelings of the protagonist, when he looses his entire family was excellent. A nice and suitable end to the story. Protagonist&#8217;s journey thru the ups and downs of life might teach us a thing or two. Even though this book talks about surviving  and dealing with the death of our loved ones, I would not personally recommend this to someone who has recently suffered a loss.</p>
<p><span id="more-5995"></span></p>
<h3>Luv U Mate<small> &#8211; Punit Sethi</small></h3>
<p>Sorry for being harsh, But it is not a good book. Bought because of all the fuzz made by media that &#8220;Google Declared Facebook Expert&#8221; nonsense, which still can not be verified.  Even though the book starts good, but goes on to be boring. Unnecessary description of fantasy land experience is a downer. My personal moral perspective, did not keep this book in a good light.</p>
<p>This book was like reading all those fancy copy-paste status updates we find on a average Facebook users wall. I would rather read it on my friends wall than in a book. If the book gives more precise guide line to use Facebook (for older people), It might have at-least be useful in one sense. But it fails to do that too.</p>
<p>The ending was not good either. The back cover of the book states a question, &#8220;If a person whom you fall in love on Facebook, suddenly disappears, what options are you left with?&#8221; The book, till the end does not answer this question, or gives you a lousy answer, &#8220;Nothing Much&#8221;. In a line the story can be summarized as, &#8220;Hero falls in love with a married women online, but she disappears suddenly, after mourning for few days he marries someone else&#8221;</p>
<h3>A 2<sup>nd</sup> Helping Of Chicken Soup For The Soul<small> &#8211; Jack Canfield; Mark Victor Hansen</small></h3>
<p>Chicken Soup For The Soul, has proved its worth once more. A nice collection of heart warming <del datetime="2011-09-17T03:35:28+00:00">stories/</del> incidents. Some brought tears to my eyes. A good book that has reenforced within me the power of human love and that of humanity itself.</p>
<h2>Chetan Bhagat&#8217;s Books</h2>
<p>Being deluded by the content and quality of Chetan Bhagat&#8217;s <a title="Finished Reading “2 States-The Story of My Marriage” – Chetan Bhagat" href="http://madharasan.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/finished-reading-2-states-the-story-of-my-marriage-%e2%80%93-chetan-bhagat/">2 States-The Story of My Marriage</a>, I wanted to read all of his books. But to my disappointment they were not as good as I expected them to be. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I still consider &#8217;2 States&#8217; as a classic. But that may be because &#8217;2 States&#8217; was his last book, the author has learned a thing or two from his past experiences in writing these books.</p>
<h3>One Night @ The Call Center<small> &#8211; Chetan Bhagat</small></h3>
<div class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="display:block;margin:1em;">
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 112px"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:One_Night_%40_Call_Center.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="One Night @ the Call Center" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/79/One_Night_%40_Call_Center.jpg/300px-One_Night_%40_Call_Center.jpg" alt="One Night @ the Call Center" width="102" height="158" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
</div>
<p>Ok. with this book, I wold like to set something straight:<br />
Mr. Bhagat, You are a fiction writer, Not a fantasy fiction writer.</p>
<ul>
<li>No, Rand() is NOT a bug in MS Office, An IIT-ian should know that</li>
<li>No. Microsoft <strong>IS</strong> perfect</li>
<li>And Americans are not that stupid</li>
</ul>
<p>Apart from these I felt that the initial part of the story was moving too slow than necessary, I just skipped thru all those love gibberish. Which was not my taste. That&#8217;s just how I feel.</p>
<p>I completely agree with Times of India review of the book: <a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-12-11/book-mark/27857606_1_chetan-bhagat-divine-intervention-dial-tone" target="_blank">Time to hang up, Mr Bhagat?</a> (I have nothing more to add)</p>
<h3>Five Point Someone<small> &#8211; Chetan Bhagat</small></h3>
<p>I saw the film version of this book. Started it with a huge expectation. But was seriously disappointing. Is it me, or does anyone else feel that the film version, 3 Idiots  is far better than the book?</p>
<h3>The 3 Mistakes Of My Life<small> &#8211; Chetan Bhagat</small></h3>
<div class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="display:block;margin:1em;">
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 91px"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:3_Mistakes_of_My_Life.jpg" target="_blank"><img title="The 3 Mistakes of My Life" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1d/3_Mistakes_of_My_Life.jpg" alt="The 3 Mistakes of My Life" width="81" height="123" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
</div>
<p>Since I am not a avid fan of cricket, I didn&#8217;t get the same feel as Ish thru-out the book. Vidya&#8217;s explanation, or rather <a href="http://madharasan.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/maths-i-am-not-the-only-one-shuu/" target="_blank">venting of anger about Maths</a> was epic. The climax, especially the last few chapters were interesting, It was like watching a movie, with whats-gonna-happen-next feeling. The book has a very sad ending. Which I think is necessary to exemplify the actual Hindu-Muslim controversy and brutality of those incidents.</p>
<p>A good read for a Sunday afternoon or a long flight trip.</p>
