How I welcome the winter!

How I welcome the winter!

Posted December 10, 2013 by @amanhimself in Essay / 0 Comments

Ah, the month of November went pretty fast for me. The later half of the month, I still can’t believe it existed. It’s been over a month since I had read something or wrote something(Of Course, except in the examinations). “Examinations! Examinations! Examinations!”, right now it sounds like “Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!” in the voice of Daleks. It was kind of a Dalek-phase I was passing through. I still hope that the time lord will come and will take me back in time, back to the mid of last month. But then I’ll be in the Dalek-phase all over again. And I’ll still be reading text books instead of ‘Real Books’  writing exams instead of poetry. Due to this phase, I feel I will not be able […]

THE WIT OF WRITING

THE WIT OF WRITING

Posted November 14, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books, Essay / 0 Comments

Right ho, then. To start a story is the most dashingly difficult task for any writer. To establish an atmosphere, as they say, is a vexation in itself. You have to make it perfect, otherwise if you went too long or too short for a start your audience will be smoking joints of boredom instead of cigarettes. You know your boat has sunk before it left the shore. Sometimes there are more cigarette butts in my dustbin then words on the paper resting itself with a blank face. The obligation of a writer is to satisfy his audience and have the stamina to complete his work with wittiness. Wittiness I said, otherwise it would be another one of those in […]

BOOK REVIEW: HITLER’S DAUGHTER

BOOK REVIEW: HITLER’S DAUGHTER

Posted November 5, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews / 0 Comments

HITLER’S DAUGHTER By Jackie French Hitler’s Daughter is an impressive book. The title of the book is in itself is a wonder and a seed of curiosity. Short length, one day read I would call (though due to lack of time, I made it in three days). I got this book randomly when I was hovering around the internet for I had this unsatisfied urge to go for book-shopping for months. Due to it’s length I picked the book though after reading it I realized it could have been a little more longer for the words just flow through your mind as the book is simply written. The book certainly aims at younger readers and it was interesting to see Hitler from […]

A SHORT JOURNEY OF A BAREFOOT

A SHORT JOURNEY OF A BAREFOOT

Posted October 9, 2013 by @amanhimself in Essay, MyWorks / 0 Comments

On an early August morning, wandering alone on the crispy and crumby dead leaves I felt sharp rays of sun appearing betwixt the naked branches of trees. The trees appeared as some broken mannequins, their faces totally blank in aspect to show an expression that if ever a brainy mind ever groom in them or do they have brainless mind already? I felt even if I stand all day long and just stare them, they will still be blank just like the current state of humanity. People don’t react on the consequences and events they should but they do overreact on when they should show least of the interest. Squirrels were hovering hither and thither trees to hide themselves beneath […]

BOOK REVIEW: MISTRESS by JAMES PATTERSON & DAVID ELLIS

BOOK REVIEW: MISTRESS by JAMES PATTERSON & DAVID ELLIS

Posted September 19, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books, Crime & Mystery, Reviews / 0 Comments

This was my seventh James Patterson’s book and I would say he writes better when he is not co-authoring. There were times when I read his Alex Cross‘ series or Women’s Mystery Club series and when I read his Private series or the Mistress. The difference would be in front of you. The difference is like between the day and the night. This fact may be true that he has sold more than combining Stephen King, Dan Brown and John Grisham, also, 19 consecutive No. 1 New York Times bestselling novels, and holds The New York Times record for most bestselling hardcover fiction titles by a single author but books like Mistress, it feels gone are those days when James Patterson was a real Page turner. It is just not […]
