F IN EXAMS: A REVIEW FOR THE EXAMS

Posted December 14, 2012 by @amanhimself in Fiction, Reviews / 0 Comments

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!

Posted December 13, 2012 by @amanhimself in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

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 […]

LA MIA (A Poem Of Love)

Posted November 1, 2012 by @amanhimself in Poetry / 0 Comments

LA MIA (A Poem Of Love) The sky was blue Not a single cloud was there Not a single one grey I was walking down the fields Just thinking of you Just thinking of you. I wanted to see you So I decided to be at your place before the noon. As I was walking down the fields I met a beautiful rose Whom I thought would be Perfect for you. But as I touched the petals The rose squeaked out In her musical voice ‘ O Great Being! You shall leave me As I’m nothing in use to you I have more thorns then the red petals. You shall […]

HEATHCLIFF TO KATHERINE (A poem)

Posted October 29, 2012 by @amanhimself in Poetry / 0 Comments

HEATHCLIFF TO KATHERINE (FOR WUTHERING HEIGHTS) Six feet in the earth my Catherine lay And yet I loved her more For it seemed, than till that day I ne’er had loved her before. And turning from her grave Beside the churchyard yew A blooming gril, whose hair was wet With points of morning dew. A basket on head she bare, Her brow was smooth and white To see the child so very fair, It was pure delight! She seemed very happy Never cared, as she was ever free; She seemed as happy as a wave That dances on a sea. Suddenly I realized those eyes That were same as her mother, And now I felt, a life in my hand […]

AROMA

Posted September 25, 2012 by @amanhimself in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

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!

THE GIRL WHO KICKED HORNET’s NEST: A REVIEW FOR THE HACKER

Posted September 3, 2012 by @amanhimself in Crime & Mystery, Fiction, Reviews / 0 Comments

THE GIRL WHO KICKED HORNET’s NEST by STIEG LARSSON The third and the final book in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest, picks up right where The Girl Who Played With Fire left off. If you haven’t read part two, read it, don’t let spoilers spoil that for you. I loved the trilogy partly because of the “Lisabeth Salander’s” character, partly of Mikael Blomkvist(a.k.a Kalle Bastard Blomkvist) , a middle-aged journalist who publishes Expo-like magazine called Millennium. Each book in the TRIO is related to her and is titled according to her and the consequences she faces. Salander, for me, is one of the fascinating character in modern day literature. She’s a sullen goth girl who […]

THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU: A REVIEW FOR THE BALLS ON FIRE

Posted August 31, 2012 by @amanhimself in Fiction, Reviews / 0 Comments

This is Where I leave You Author:Jonathan Tropper “This is where I leave you”, is a salve for every family. It was just a hitchhiker for me. A hilarious book, no doubt about it, but consist of a bit of snobbery. The novel begins when Judd Foxman is completely down in the dumps, because of the knowledge that his wife, Jen, has been unfaithful to him. Tropper has written a completely sympathetic character going through a very tough time without making him pathetic. Each person in this book, even the secondary characters, leaps off the page. Foxman clan is completely ridiculous. The Foxman siblings and their mother are a selective bunch who grow emotionally as they are brought together physically to sit Shiva […]

Booker Prize- an English Snobbery

Posted August 28, 2012 by @amanhimself in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

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, […]
