Can you tell who this is ... Dumbledore or Gandalf !! In case these names are not familiar to you ... well ... Dumbledore was the Headmaster at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series and Gandalf was the Wizard who became the leader of the Fellowship of the Ring in the Lord of the Rings series. (If you are not familiar with HP or LOTR ... ignore the post please :) When I read those two novel series, i could draw parallel betweeen the charachters which was only strengthened when I saw the movies and likeness of the two charachters on-screen. They do look the same. :)

Almost exactly 2 years ago, I made the Thirsty Crow blog Post ... Found yet another interesting picture from the Animal Kindom ...  Presenting .. The Thirsty Monkey !

Two interesting and positively humourous items I came across recently ... Old ones actually but they still brought a smile ... The Origin of Chrome Logo .... from Windows logo The ultimate Windows dream

  After a bad month of April with only 3 reads, I was determined to improve my score in spite of being busy with office work. I had some long distance travel time scheduled in May which will helped me read more J Also it was nice to read Sherlock Holmes and 3 Investigators once again after a month's gap.   1. Sherlock Holmes: The Stock Broker's Clerk by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle This one was a short story where Sherlock deduces well but does not get a chance to actually catch the culprit.

The Three Investigators & the Mystery of the Moaning Cave by Robert Arthur This one was also like teenage Indiana Jones kind. A moaning cave was a very interesting point to start a story with. As the story unfolds, there are characters which seem shady and there are some legendary figures too (to consider as possible...

I dont really need to say/write anything .. the pictures speak for themselves ...

Someone put in a lot of thought, creativity and effort to create this ... Enjoyed reading through all the different parts of the profile including friends, likes, people you may know, FB comments stream, even the 'rare' photos :)

  I had expected this month to be slow one for reading … just like the last one. It turned out just the same. I did not read any Feluda stories last month so I HAD to read one this month and so I took it up first thing. Picking up the large thick volume of Feluda once again was a nice feeling. In the entire month, I read only 3 stories … all of them from Feluda series (after a month of no feluda stories, this one was compensatory with only Feluda stories :)   1. Feluda: Trouble in Gangtok by Satyajit Ray It was an interesting story line with a few twists and a suspense which seemed to lead nowhere. One couldn't suspect any one and one could suspect everyone on the scene. The end turned out to be a good one.   2. Feluda: The Golden Fortress by Satyajit Ray It seemed like an interesting premise to begin the story with … a little boy who can remember his past life. Well, that premise became a backdrop of the story and not the actual mystery to be resolved. With a ...
