Text of the page (random words):
he once in a while threat either way i think his story should be told to more kids just like the stories of maratha or rajput warriors and maybe that s the reason his stories are not there are sub plots in the book that need to be understood in the context of modern india the preference of loyalty towards religion or country the difference between what it means to be a religious muslim in india compared to the rest of the world and the constant doubt every indian muslim must answer a final point while the entire story is based on revenge for the ruination of hindu temples the expectation is also that a muslim prefers to defend his nation before his religion this is one of the points that somehow struck at contradictory to me in an otherwise excellent book while the entire book makes it a point to highlight defense of india rather than defending hinduism let s not forget that the premise is still revenge and not defence if you re looking for an easy read while also learning a bit of history a lot of it is very obviously fiction its an excellent book it s a rather obscure part of our history with not enough known maybe the reason why it allows for so much imagination leave a comment filed under uncategorized february 17 2014 6 19 am for the want of a genuine hobby it must feel good to have a hobby something to do when there is nothing better to do or something better to do when there is a lot to do i however do not have one unless you can call watching cricket a hobby and trust me i have seen resumes where people have listed watching movies and cricket as a hobby i used to think i read a lot and i thought reading is fun only if the subject matter interests you or if you can associate yourself with the protagonists i tried reading the god delusion twice and even though the subject is close to what i believe in i could not give in to the hatred of religion on the other hand the intricate politics and scheming of game of thrones i finished in 3 months all 5 books and i can t really associate myself with any of the characters in the book so may be what is fun about reading is not so much living the character but feeling the character and understanding their motives to understand why they are the way they are may be in that sense i like seeing people and their actions not so much to see what their actions will lead to but rather what led to this action and this is something i extend to everyone i come across be it a colleague in office or a close relative i see every day its a fun exercise but it lasts only as long as their real self reveals itself i don t like to pry information about these people just listen to them and imagine why they acted that way imagination is probably a wrong way to understand people but that is the only one i prefer using may be these people do not have the imagined lives but its fun to think they do talking of fun i liked to read blogs as well however its only fun if you know the person and know what is happening in their lives this is no more the case most of the people i liked to follow have either stopped writing altogether or have moved on to shorter crisper ways of expression like facebook or twitter including me a blog post had a definite beginning a funny mid and a nice ending while a facebook twitter post requires only a one line sarcastic punch somehow i find it rather odd that our attention span has become so low that we can t invest enough time to read through write a post that requires more than 5 minutes when less than 10 years ago all we wanted to do was to read and write blog posts another reason that i despise facebook these days is because of the shallow political activism let me be clear its not the platform i hate only the content i spent last weekend away from the computer and it was a rather happy weekend monday morning the first thing on the facebook feed is a post about how modi is bad for india and aap is the best thing to have happened to the country the second feed is about the reverse the urban middle class has woken up to the political requirements of the country and that can only be a good thing but being aware is one thing and actively campaigning for your beliefs is another and if it was only campaigning i would still be fine with it it seems that the very idea of campaigning makes people bring down the opposition without saying anything useful about what is it that they will do differently the philosophy that i am good because you are bad is the stupidest thing i have ever heard the next thing that these people on facebook want to do is to involve you in a meaningless debate which does nothing to alter either your view of them or the party they support debates are good if people are willing to acknowledge mistakes and work on them and most importantly change sadly that is not the case these days and these people have hung on to their ideas for the ideal leader or the best leader for so long that they are blind to what else these leaders do more so they are so emotionally invested in this so called leader that they are unwilling to listen to any thing against them how can a rational debate happen in such a scenario if you tell them that your leader did x the answer that is shot back is well your leader did y then starts the quantification of x and y who is to decide what was worse 1984 or 2002 weren t lives lost in both cases can t both be wrong and can t both leaders be corrupt but we have already chosen sides and do not wish to be proven wrong i do not like being drawn into debates any more i used to think that the louder you speak the more forceful you come across until i received a one liner response one day jor shor se bolne se jhooth sach nahin ho jaata 1 comment filed under uncategorized november 26 2010 2 33 pm books blogs and cricket this post is a culmination of my thoughts for over 5 minutes so you have to forgive the gibberish that you are about to read books after what feels like an eternity i have managed to get hold of a book that i have wanted to finish as soon i read the first page the immortals of meluha is to me the book that has brought back the interest in reading and writing i first heard of this book from my father in law the very next day kunal a dear friend and now a famous writer hence the dear before friend get used to it reviewed the book and wrote about how enjoyable it was it did seem like a worthy buy however one of the problems of living in pardes is the scarcity of english books the most famous book store here has a collection of 5 english books neatly stacked in the most obscure corner of the store collecting dust and inviting spiders expecting to find a book written by an indian author here is like expecting dolly bindra to shut up yes am still not over her the after shocks of watching her wake me up in the night perspiring anyway my in laws were here for a visit and one of the unexpected perks of their visit was that they gave i stole they forgot the book to me as for the book it holds so many unexpected surprises that i just could not put the book down at the cost of being accused of ignoring the wifey by the wifey i wasn t swear to you sweet heart to me i judge a fiction book by two parameters possibility and relatability i know that s not a word but inventing words makes you sound smart and competent just ask barney stinson the demystification of indian myths is done in such a matter of fact way that you an even an atheist like me can accept it the somras the so far larger than life characters the events all seem possible when put this way about the book itself it manages to detach shiva from the mythical heavenly creature known for his rage and make him seem human his faults exist his love is as real as any he too bleeds and for the life of his can not understand why is he being treated god like by everyone i think amish has done a fantastic job at two fronts one he has stuck to the myths but has not tried to hide behind them he has not tried at any point to get away by saying something in the book and then throw it to the readers as obvious because it was related to religion or mythology second he has accepted the science factor in everything a particular passage in the book that i enjoyed the most is the conversation between bhraspati a scientist not a god and shiva a human but still looked upon by everyone as a saviour about the importance of science when following religion and the reason why people do not look up to science the same way that they look up to religion for answers this is the relatable part that i talk about kudos to mr amish tripathi for penning down one of the most fantastic books of recent times if you still havent read the book for whatever reasons i suggest you grab a copy now blogs my personal blog post count has gone down like a house on fire in self destruct mode being crushed by the hulk at the same time however the joy in reading what others are writing hasn t diminished however the problem that i face now is that everyone whom i knew as a good writer has either stopped writing altogether or started writing 55s as enjoyable as 55s are they do not really spur me on to comment respond or commend people on a job well done i know it is a pretty tough task to finish telling a story in 55 words and looking at the size of some of my previous posts i should be compulsorily made to write a few but it gets over before it begins the fascination of going from the build up to the twists to the climax is just not there and i am still talking about 55s and blog posts not anything else so i request friends foes jackasses weirdos to come together and contribute the ever growing blog database at wordpress or blogspot whatever catches your fancy the joy of actually knowing the author of a well written post should be experienced by everyone cricket i finally have a reason to look forward to cricket again the ashes are back and for the first time in what feels like a zillion years england look like a serious threat to australia i know they have won it a couple of times and also managed to draw some matches but they have not looked threatening at any time australia on the other hand has never looked as vulnerable as they do now even at home let me be a little more honest here the real reason i am so interested in ashes is also because of the cricinfo fantasy leagues where my wife is kicking my ass at the moment i am at some 6k and she is at 500 damn you peter siddle 2 comments filed under uncategorized tagged as cricket immortals of meluha review october 7 2010 7 09 pm an evening in venice whoever said that there are very few good people left in this world probably hasn t done much good himself for some insane reason i do believe in what goes around comes around may be its nature s flawed implementation of newton s every action has an equal and opposite reaction i will never know anyway i was in venice a couple of weeks back the reason i brought up the topic of good people is because i encountered a truly generous soul while i was there after a hectic day that involved lots of last minute running around we had finally caught the train from rome to venice and the only task left for the remainder of the day was to check in to the hotel as it turned out the hotel was not really in venice proper and we had to take a long ish train ride to get to the preganziol station this was the closest train station from the hotel and once we got there finally at 9 30 in the chilly night we realized that we had no idea how to get to the hotel from there it is hard enough to find english speaking people in venice and we did not have very high expectations when i asked the only person present at the train station about how to get to the address provided to this day i have no idea what he said but decoding his body language i can safely assume that he had no idea about this address so we stood outside the deserted station hoping that we could find someone who speaks english who could tell us where to head to i was getting desperate after waiting for about 30 minutes and a part of me was also infuriated with myself for not carrying gps or atleast a print out of google maps how could i be so careless a guy in mid 30s appeared almost out of nowhere and he seemed to be walking towards us i had not seen a single person passing that street in the past 30 minutes so this guy was almost sachin sent for me i asked him if he spoke english and to my utter surprise he answered in british accented english yes i do i asked him for the address and he said he knew where it was his next line surprised me even more i can take you there if you want frankly i had no other option but to follow him i could stay there waiting for someone else but what were the chances that he she could speak english this guy suited up in almost flawless manner had strange shoes running shoes also there was a big water stain mark all over the front of his suit i asked him didnt you have to go to the train station and he said it s ok there will be another train in 30 minutes i didnt know how to tell him to just tell us the directions it seemed awfully rude in the face of such generosity and lets be clear he didnt look like he could rob us or anything so we followed him he was straightforward enough to tell us that there is a direct road that leads to the hotel but that road is an expressway with no sidewalk since we were carrying some luggage it would not be safe at this time with cars zooming at over 100 kmph he also told us that he would be taking us through some small not so well lit roads which might seem shady but were completely safe as it was completely a residential area we walked through the small narrow streets through pebble lined pavements took turns where walking straight seemed advisable walked straight where turns seemed inviting all the while i was surprised at how much trust i had put into this guy afterall i didnt even know who he was heck i didnt even know his name he could cut me into pieces here and bury me somewhere around and no one would ever know of course the mind imagines the wildest possibilities even as it tries to convince itself that nothing wrong could happen we talked a little on the way i was exhausted because of the time spent travelling and waiting and now dragging the heavy luggage he chit chatted about his job and how he had moved to venice just recently he talked about his job as a waiter at a nearby restaurant about how awful the pay was and how most of the money goes into rent in a place like venice i thought to myself that if i get to the hotel may be i should give him some money may be that is why he was doing this favour we finally reached the hotel from what seemed to be the longest route to get there i was happy to see it all lighted up and shiny money well spent i thought it was getting cold and late and we wanted to rush in as early as possible i thanked our generous helper and started taking some money out of the wallet he polit...
