"The Valmiki Syndrome"
this one really appeals to today's lifestyle.  i like the idea of parallel stories of unrelated people.
i like it when new terminologies are developed and i like to see and learn about the usefulness of the new term coined. i like to gauge its worth in life's context. 

"Illusions" galore!!

Books!!
a word that never fails to enlighten my face and make my heart skip a beat..! really, it sounds like love and to me , it is!!
so this time its about another one of them , the book is called "The Palace of Illusions" by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni".
i loved the book. in the sense that, it just stayed in my mind for days..! i even re-read the last few pages over and over again. . .
i am very interested in mythology... indian mythology specifically. and this book is this beautiful story ... the most fascinating epic "Mahabharat "  from paanchaali's view..
amazing narration. beautiful moments. every mention of "Krishn" so subtle yet so impressive. i adore "Krishn" for His mysterious ways.. and this book jus made Him more appealing to me..and also a little jealous!! oh!, wat wud i do to have Him as a friend , a companion, to share the beautiful khatta-meetha sweet sour relation with Him... yet, i m thrilled to hv read that and imagined "me " instead of paanchaali in conversation with Him and i m happy. !
 also, i've seen/heard/spoken abt parts of the mahabharat time and again but i never thot of paanchali's life in any context. so, with this book i actually gave it some time and thot ...
what she was meant to be and wat she was. her ways, her behavior, her relations and emotions...thot provoking.. ! indeed. .
amazing flow of events and beautiful organization of thots.. so much creativity and imagination...!
i m sort of a fan of the writing..just not sure yet...!

long lost love- reading

jus finished reading "the lost labyrinth" by will adams. books..! never fail to work their magic on me.. its amazing how one's eyes read words that start creating a world of itself in one's mind and one starts to feel existence in tat life..! like a third person viewing all the events n happenings in the book..to b actually taking place..
the real player here is one's mind... the powerhouse. has one ever heard of anything,,in the whole universe, more enchanting n mysterious n powerful than the mind..?? i feel swell abt the fact that the quality of being creative & imaginative  is an amazing companion. .. ..
now abt the book i jus put down.. "the lost labyrinth"
amazing twists n turns.many threads woven together spectacularly.. only the brutality of events ws disturbing n unnerving at the same time. my mind cudnt visualize so much pain inflicted by a human on another human. heart wrenching details. but story kept me coming back to it. cudnt really put the book down after a while. all in all, a new genre of writing for me. maybe i'll stay wid this, maybe i wont..!
