Books I read in February ....... 1. See Jane Die by Erica Splinder --- Kind of Murder Mystery .. nice read. i likes it.  nice twist in the tail of the tale. Nice interplay of relationships and twists and turns in the story. 2. "Love, Rosie" aka "Where Rainbows End" by Cecelia Ahern --- An absolute emotional roller coaster. For me it was reading with tears in my eyes for the first time in life. i even blogged about it while I was reading it   3. Murder in the Mews by Agatha Christie (Hercule Poirot Series) --- collection of 4 Hercules Poirot stories ... Murder in the Mews, The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror, Triangle at Rhodes ... Frankly I am not sure if I am going to pick up another one from this series. Did not really like it. --- I would rather not write anything about it except maybe 'I did not like them much' ... My fav are Sherlock Holmes, 3 Investigators and Feluda 4. Ice Station by Mathew Reilley --- Like the other Mathew Reilley ...

This is how Sachin's Manager would 'grade' him during his annual appraisal ... Hmmm .... So you have put the 200 scorer as your Biggest achivement during past year .. lets analyse this 200 Runs / 147 Balls / 25 X4 / 3 X6 Agree you have done GREAT BUT BUT BUT BUT ... (there is always a BUT) 25 x 4s = 100  and  3 x 6s    =  18 This implies that you have done 118 Runs in 28 Balls. .... Nice. Very Nice. Excellent. Also you managed ...  12 x 2s = 24  and  58 x 1s = 58 NOW ... all this means you have done all 200 Runs in only 98 balls ...... FANTASTIC !! WELL DONE >>> BUT ... (Now comes the BIG BUT)   This also menas that you have wasted 147-98 = 49 balls     Considering only 1 run scored on each of these balls you could have earned 49 valuable RUNS FOR OUR TEAM   MANAGER'S COMMENT:  Sachin 'only' met the expectations and NOT EXCEEDING (though anyone of our team could not do it) and  his Grade is    MEDIUM   Tra...

"Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." ~ Albert Einstein   Now whether you make the efforts to go ahead and buy the tickets and then enjoy the movie or just act lazy and skip it … is entirely your own sweet choice.

My Name is Gossip --Author Unknown   I have no respect for justice. I aim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and malicious, and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted, the more I am believed. I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me, Because I have no face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become. I am nobody's friend. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I topple governments, wreck marriages and ruin careers. . . Cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generate grief. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses. I make headlines and headaches. Before you repeat a story, ask yourself . . . 'Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary?'   ----------------------------------------------------------------------   Gossip and Rumours are born out of human inquisitiven...

I don't like Agatha Christies 'Poirot" !   I was, I am and I guess, I forever will be a Sherlock Holmes, 3 Investigators and Feluda Fan !!   I have been a Sherlock Holmes and 3 Investigators Fan ever since my school days. I voraciously read every available book on both from my school library. I read maybe one or two Agatha Christie's Hercules Poirot stories then and did not like it. I did not even like the TV series on Agatha Christie stories ,,, although on the other hand I loved the carrot-munching Karamchand (played by Pankaj Kapoor) immensely.   Feluda is a more recent discovery (Thanks to my best friend Shraddha) and I love the writing style. As Satyajit ray himself put it, the stories were written for a Teenage audience and hence the writing was deliberately kept simple and crimes of passion etc were kept out of the story line.   So I am sorry Agatha Christie, but I don't like Hercules Poirot !!

Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.   AND   True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable     Having good friends is a gift ... Having a Best Friend is a blessing !   Your best friend is one who shows you the mirror; shows you what you are, makes you realise your hidden potential and helps you discover the real You.   Your best friend will not agree with all that you do and say and think. Your best will tell you what is right, where you are right and also where you are wrong or mistaken.   Your best friend is your hope, your motivation, your strength, your sounding board, your moral support, your SOS call, your partner-in-crime (i mean the innocent kind), your companion all through life.   And while you revel in the blessing and be happy about having a Best Friend ... Dont forget to be an equally good Best Friend to your Friend !!   What your Best Friend has done for you ... You gotta do for your Best friend...
