A DULL HERO
A DULL HERO by Aman Mittal a few words to empty my mind It has been four days since the sun had seen my woe. Misery is a mistress, a sickly mistress, who has but a single thorn which is enough for a man to die who has been in love with her. But I thank thee angry god that I never had such an emotion in me. If its a emotion. Love how it feels, I never felt. It is like an other world to me which is quite far from where I am now. People do fall in love and they speak of it as if it is eternal. They describe love as a godlike Romans rage which […]
How To Mock Twilight?
CUSTOMER: Do you have a copy of Bella Swan’s favourite book? You know, from Twilight? (Bookseller sighs and pulls a copy of Wuthering Heights off the shelf) CUSTOMER: Do you have the one with the cover that looks like Twilight? BOOKSELLER: No. This is an antiquarian bookshop, so this is an old edition of the book. CUSTOMER: But it’s still the one with that girl Cathy and the dangerous guy, right? BOOKSELLER: Yes, it’s still the story by Emily Bronte. CUSTOMER: Right. Do you think they’ll make it into a film? BOOKSELLER: They’ve made several films of it. The one where Ralph Fiennes plays Heathcliff is very good. CUSTOMER: What? Voldemort plays Heathcliff? BOOKSELLER: Well . . . CUSTOMER: But […]
SET IN DARKNESS: A BOOK REVIEW
SET IN DARKNESS by IAN RANKIN When did I first hear about Ian Rankin. Never, it was just a recommendation by the shopkeeper to whom I usually go for my book-shopping. Maybe he was just trying to earn a little extra for he had only one copy, but I am thankful to him. I still thank him today for making me read well written crime fiction books. Yes, Mr.Rankin know what to write and how, I have read almost half of his John Rebus’ series in past one year and half, and he never gets carried away, never off the mark, the plot would always be good, his protagonist, John Rebus, always satisfying the reader and that’s what makes you a good […]
THE SINS OF THE FATHER: A BOOK REVIEW
The Sins of the Father by Jeffrey Archer The Sins of the Father is the second book in a series called “The Clifton Chronicles,” written by Jeffrey Archer. As soon as I finished reading ONLY TIME WILL TELL, which is the first book in the respective series by the same author, I was excited for the sequel. The sequel do pick up right where ‘Only Time will Tell’ left. It is self explanatory that both books should be read in the order they are written and then only, the other characters connection to the protagonist, Harry Clifton, will be understandable for the reader. In ‘The Sins of the Father’, which spans the years of World War II, Harry is desperate to […]
NEW BOOKS ON BLOCK!
Today I went for a Christmas Book Shopping and got myself two new books…
F IN EXAMS: A REVIEW FOR THE EXAMS
F IN EXAMS by Richard Benson Richard has done a hilarious job by illustrating this book. We all have faced it. THE EXAMS! The big day for some, the doomsday for others. And we all have got grades varying from A to F though I believe there would be less A’s and more F’s (atleast it’s there in my case). This book is highly recommended for teenagers of age group 14-17, though I read it yesterday at the age of twenty but then I believe there is no age to read and write. If you are above the age limit I recommended, then it will remind the days of your “exam-hood”! The book is a short collection including very real […]
LIMERICK!
A limerick is five-line witty, humorous, or nonsense poem. Its development has been a curious one. Its place of origin is uncertain, although some scholars claim it is of Irish descent. It was Edward Lear who populated the limerick. Edward Lear was a painter but also an illustrator, author and a poet. In his free time he entertained children with humorous, nonsense verses made of moonshine and magic. It was during this period Lear discovered the Limerick as a form of entertaining verse. The form of limerick is of five lines. The first, second and the fifth are long. The third and fourth are short. The rhyme scheme is A A B B A. A verse: There was an old […]
