the inscrutable americans....book review!!!

pals....do do do read this book!!!!! It was a long time bak that a frnd of mine lended me this gr88 book for a read....i liked it so much that i bought a personal copy of it!!!no....its not a oh so wonderful literary thing, its a very casual book with simple language but honest thoughts!!!! the protagonist is a real life small town guy who goes to USA for higher studies.....his letters to his younger brother are tear jerkers ( ur eyes will water ul laf so much)!!!!his thought process, his culture shocks and his analysis of what he sees in America and the Americans are matchless.....the book screams humor!!!!I was in a major bad mood all these days and thanks to Inscrutable Americans I am a whole lot cheerful now......whenever u feel the blues....go open the book and read what Gopal has to say!!!!!

book review.....

my dear frndz gifted me with Ayn Rands Fountainhead for my birthday this year.....how nice of them!!!!I just finished reading it.......well for starters its definitely a good read.....i got to learn sum gr888 words some very interesting ways of putting simple thoughts across and the chemistry between the protagonist and his lady luv was a real treat.......but there are a few things i did not understand at all.......those who have read this book please comment on this post of mine and tell me what the Gail Waynand psychology was actually all about????I mean, yes he was guilty about what his Banner stood for and he tried to justify himself to Roark and Dominique-the people he luved and he was ,on the other hand ,not ashamed of Banner as well coz it was his brain child....i got that part, but his conversations with Dominique went over my head.......and Dominique????who has all the time and luxury to fall in luv wit sumone as amazing as Roark and then marry thrice, twice to punish oneself????how can a person possibly think of punishment when half of her time is being spent in the lap of luxury and most importantly with a person who is madly in luv with her......i think this character is vague!!!!Toohey.....wow!!!!Keating- scumbag and Katey-doormat!!!!Roark-reading about him made me feel the way i felt about Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind.....a maverick.....everybody luvs a rebel.....author got that one right!!!!but the one thing that stumped me was the authors attitide towards public in general.......maybe she in her life b4 Fountainhead never got a chance of meeting people with rationale.......the world isnot as bad as that........there really is not a lot that is terribly wrong with it!!!!!

we went to the zoo.....

it is the beginning of summer....and possessed by some crazy idea to try and beat a sunstroke me and my dear frnd nafisa went to the zoo a few days back at 11 AM!!!!! boy....it was hot.....the sun was glaring angrily and the animals were busy napping.....but we really enjoyed a lot......we saw the monkeys ,the crocks ,the snakes....they were moulting!!!!! I for the first time saw a koyel in front of my eyes.....it was a nice feeling!!!!!!there were even a large number of bats hanging upside down from the trees....funny!!!!But the most precious thing that we got was childhood......remembered after so many years those days when each winter baba and ma used to bring me here....we had some qualtity time together......and then we grew up,zoo lost its charm....very few people visit the zoo these days,maybe air conditioned multiplexes are better alternatives....but to all the readers of my blog.....visit the place if you have some time to spare.....its a part of our citys heritage and i bet u will hav a good time!!!!some things never get old.....a day at the zoo is one such thing!!!!

wen the lights went out.....

today is the 6th of march and boy has the summer cum!!!!!its already swealtering hot as long as the sun is up there on the sky!!!!!!but the nights....aaaa....day r simply spiffing!!!!!today we had a power cut for about 3 hrs......during this tym i went up on the terrace.......it was a soothing experience.....looking over the dark streets and the little windows spilling candle light and casting long shadows on the walls.......it gives u a strange feeling of peace.....sumtimes a car goes by and the streets are momentarily lit up and then again darkness......u look up and c the sky full of stars, u feel the bats making sounds the gentle breeze relaxing your nerves!!!!u find peace and for a small moment u find yourself.....watever finding oneself means i dont no, but there is a bit of realization involved in solitary moments....sweet melancholy maybe.and when these moments r absolutely dark,quite literally,then day hav an even powerful impact.......the candle light and the long shadows........and then suddenly the lights came!!!!!the moment was lost.....but not forever.....it will cum again wit all its charm amd magic!!!!
