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?

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 […]
AROMA (an ode to the sweet) (by Aman Mittal) Young was the sun But it couldn’t be younger than you. Bright was the moon But it couldn’t be brighter than your eyes. Dark was the night But it couldn’t be darker than your hair. Charming the knight was But he couldn’t be charmer than you. Red was the rose But it couldn’t be for your lips were redder. Sweet was the Aroma, of flower Alas! It couldn’t be sweeter than your Aroma By which, I am Fortunately, surrounded. Even the Eve was beautiful for Adam But she couldn’t be, For you are the Most!
Booker Prize- an English Snobbery Irvine Welsh, a novelist who doesn’t like Man Booker Prize and isn’t afraid to say so. The Scotchman who has supplied the Scottish experience in novels like “Skagboys” and its prequel,”Trainsporting”, voxes his concerns with United Kingdom’s most prestigious literary prize. He issued that the prize’s singular focus is on England and its upper-crust literature. The Booker Prize is supposed to honor the first-rate fiction from the United Kingdom, Ireland or the Commonwealth nations. Past winners include Salman Rushdie, Peter Carey, and Aravind Adiga. Welsh also claimed that the prize is based on a conception that the upper-class Englishness is the culture yardstick against which all the literature is measured. Welsh has previously called for Scottish independence, […]
