AUTHOR OF THE MONTH- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

AUTHOR OF THE MONTH- GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Posted June 11, 2013 by @amanhimself in Books / 0 Comments

  Born in Dublin, Ireland, Shaw never took part in the Irish Literary Revival. He wrote over fifty plays and almost every one of them is dramatized. He started his career as a novelist and as a critic of music and drama. His interest in Henry George, Karl Marx and other social theorists led to his affiliation with the Fabian Socialists. In 1884, he among with few others founded the Fabian Society. There was a time he gave up everything to study Marxism. He spent his free time in the British Museum educating himself on Shakespeare and other great writers. Spiritually and morally he had the strength of  a giant, his passion for justice and his appetite for hard work. […]

REVIEW FOR THE JAZZ: THE GREAT GATSBY

REVIEW FOR THE JAZZ: THE GREAT GATSBY

Posted June 3, 2013 by @amanhimself in classics, Fiction, Reviews / 0 Comments

    Review by Aman Mittal THE GREAT GATSBY by F.Scott Fitzgerald I read the book over the last weekend and spent quite a time as it length would not suggest. Some would say its a tragic love story with crime and corrupted minds. But I say its a very close resemblance to Fitzgerald’s own life, especially his struggle for his own love. That is the main theme. The story starts with Nick Carraway’s narration when he visits his cousin, Daisy. Nick, is an exceptionally mild person to the point of being dull. But through this narration framed in the thoughts of an exceedingly dull person Fitzgerald creates characters and lays out scenes that are vivid and bright and engaging. By coincidence […]

THE YELLOW HOUSE

THE YELLOW HOUSE

Posted May 16, 2013 by @amanhimself in MyWorks / 0 Comments

THE YELLOW HOUSE: an appreciation for an art by Aman Mittal STANDING beside the only lamppost on the corner of the street, I took a glance over with big Yellow House. It was as yellow as it could be but the surface looked as smooth as butter. Made in Victorian fashion, it was obvious the roof top would be either crimson red or dull red in colour but this one was crimson red. The windows were quite French, painted in green as was the interior. How could one see the interior, well the windows were always open at this time of the day. But I could never see any movement up there. Not a single soul. Neighboring that house, designed […]

SET IN DARKNESS: A BOOK REVIEW

SET IN DARKNESS: A BOOK REVIEW

Posted December 23, 2012 by @amanhimself in Crime & Mystery, Reviews / 0 Comments

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 […]

F IN EXAMS: A REVIEW FOR THE EXAMS

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 […]

As a cat got Nine Lives; A Writer got two!

Posted June 11, 2012 by @amanhimself in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

As writers, we live double lives: lived once in the world of others, and again, in the quiet of our own minds. It takes a certain amount of will and courage to leave with regularity the circle of humanity in order to enact a kind of theft, which is one aspect of what the writing life seems to be. Certainly, I will end these beautiful words by saying that a writer  does not write what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.   Robert Frost Once Said: No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

WHAT ARE ZINES AND BLOGS?

Posted May 19, 2012 by @amanhimself in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

Zines are small magazines that  have a very small distribution and are  often produced by hobbyists and journalists. Some famous zines are 2600 zine or Phrack Hacking web zine(or e-zine), are written by volunteers and producers do not edit the content for non-technical errors. Blogs are a modernization of the zine. Blogs are updated more often and like zines anyone may have any kind of opinion. For blogs, it is must to read the commentary as much as the post.
