Venky yaar what is your problem ?Shikha enquires .Look at this ...Venky showed a piece which says that Shikha won the first prize in debate competition  .Shikha looks closes and bushes at him  but Venky stared at her and said "Do not be so happy that it will lead to guilt consciousness." Oh come on Venky it is just the respected judges unanimous decision  as I have performed well in  the debate competition which had an very wonderful topic Love Vs Arrange Marriages and because I believe in love marriage  I won !Shikha exclaimed and went downstairs to share this happy news with her friends which  he did not like it. As he knows that Ash purposefully lost the competition only make Shikha the not so spirited women win only because she believed that the world is small place and during the brief time on this earth .She wants to make others happy and earn brownie points i.e. His love. That makes Venky happy.

3400 BCE. INDIA
Ayodhya is weakened by divisions. A terrible war has taken its toll. The damage runs deep. The demon King of Lanka, Raavan, does not impose his rule on the defeated. He, instead, imposes his trade. Money is sucked out of the empire. The Sapt Sindhu people descend into poverty, despondency and corruption. They cry for a leader to lead them out of the morass. Little do they appreciate that the leader is among them. One whom they know. A tortured and ostracised prince. A prince they tried to break. A prince called Ram.

He loves his country, even when his countrymen torment him. He stands alone for the law. His band of brothers, his Sita, and he, against the darkness of chaos.

Will Ram rise above the taint that others heap on him? Will his love for Sita sustain him through his struggle? Will he defeat the demon Lord Raavan who destroyed his childhood? Will he fulfil the destiny of the Vishnu?

Begin an epic journey with Amish’s latest: the Ram Chandra Series.

Excerpt

Nilanjana sighed. She wasn’t even sure if the child would be a boy. But she wouldn’t risk the merest flagging of her mistress’ spirits. She administered some herbal pain relievers to the queen and bided her time. Ideally, the doctor wanted the birth to take place before midday. The royal astrologer had warned her that if the child was born later, he would suffer great hardships throughout his life. On the other hand, if the child was born before the sun reached its zenith, he would be remembered as one of the greatest among men and would be celebrated for millennia.

Nilanjana cast a quick glance at the prahar lamp, which measured time in six-hour intervals. The sun had already risen and it was the third hour of the second prahar. In another three hours it would be midday. Nilanjana had decided to wait till a half hour before noon and, if the baby was still not born,

she would go ahead with the surgery.

 Kaushalya was stricken with another bout of dilatory pain. She pursed her lips together and began chanting in her mind the name she had chosen for her child. This gave her strength for it wasn’t an ordinary name. The name she had picked was that of the sixth Vishnu.

 ‘Vishnu’ was a title given to the greatest of leaders who were remembered as the Propagators of Good. The sixth man to have achieved this title was Lord Parshu Ram. That is how he was remembered by the common folk. Parshu means axe, and the word had been added to the name of the sixth Vishnu because the mighty battle axe had been his favourite weapon. His birth name was Ram. That was the name that reverberated in Kaushalya’s mind.

Ram… Ram… Ram… Ram…

The Magic of Ambi Pur

Photo Credit :beafunmum.com

It is a pleasant day in Mumbai. Sonia's mother Rita leaves for Shyam's house to sell Ambi Pur products to him and grandmother leaves temple to attend some Parvachan that which Sonia never liked as she is a party animal. Her friend Shyam accepts her proposal and they get married quietly with informing her grandmother who has gone on uplifting and spiritual tour .One day while Rita and a pregnant Sonia are talking about parenting Rita sees her mother -in -law and Sonia sees her grandmother standing in front of the door through the key hole .They both stare at each other and in panic they try to some needful arrangement before opening the door. But still they feel something is missing to make the living room feel fresh and good. They open the door after the bell rings for the third time. Rita feels nervous and welcomes her MIL home with Sonia preparing tea for her. Sonia's grandmother is annoyed with Rita's current behaviour .She shouts at Sonia for being disloyal to her without having the slightest inkling about Sonia's father and husband presence. 

''MA.... Just because they give you the due respect and regard which every mother -in -law or grandmother gets out of  their love for the person  you cannot boss  around like this " Sonia's father in stern voice roared at his mother. After that her grandmother spurting some gallis on her leaves the place. Much before her grandmother could leaves Shyam winks at his wife making Sonia smile .

Seeing them wink at each other Sonia's father winks at Rita by making her feel relieved about the fact that her mother-in law would not go out this place .Suddenly ...Sonia's grandmother turned towards them and said "Sorry for my emotion outburst as my uplifting and spiritual tour was a total disaster". But hey from where this sweet smelling coming from .Is it coming from some agarbathi which you have kept in your pooja room? She enquired having a curious look on her face. All of them having a mischievous smile plastered on their faces said in chorus "its Ambi Pur room freshener dear Guest". Oh I see it smells like some incense sticks grandmother said.

After dinner grandmother goes and takes rest in her guest room .Rita ...coming towards Shyam kissing his forehead expresses her gratitude towards him for saving them from being gossiped about.

Mere Nishaniyaan

"Sometimes it takes  years to make a mark of your own but it takes only few minutes for your name to be  wiped by the waves  on the sandy beaches Mere Nishaniyaan".

This lines of said by a  friend of mine  are very apt in a beach situation  .When I had gone to  kovallam beach in Kerala and wrote my name there within minutes a huge wave came from no where  and wiped my name off without leaving a trace. The best of this beach is that the sand/mud is black in colour and contains lot of chlorine. This sand is used as medicine to cure different medical problems.

The best of this beach is that  there was no crowd there were only one or two joggers and tourists there.

Photo Source: Devika Fernando s Timeline.

Sia is satisfied with her looks. The contentment in her eyes, sinless beauty, curves, long fitful legs and arms, dark lustrous hair, red gown and cream externalize the feeling oneness. She felt happy at last to pose as muse for painter who made her laugh with his humor. The buzz world behaved nastily with her .But a young boy middling with her things, decayed lipsticks and sandals stares at her with twinkle in his eyes as he see her portrait thrown in trash can. . Because this admirable and adorable is his aunt who wounded his mother Ruby's feelings and gainsay. Life moves on. Today Sia is posing as muse for the painter the garden, the air and the swanky bungalow in which she has been asked to take rest began to behave oddly disrupting the every possible attempt to give a perfect pose for the painter but it just could not be possible as something in her stopped her from continuing .Calling off her shoots she went inside only to see her portrait die in the trash can. Rushing down through the swanky bungalow and the garden she hurts her ankle. Walking down through the trash can Sia is reminded of her sister Ruby whom she ill treated and sheds tears for her As Ruby had a beautiful nature for which the world admired her but on the contrary she never understand her family and relations and so the buzz world behaved with her in rude and disgruntled way.

She realizes this and her life becomes tasteless as wisdom rises that her love only adores her looks and her real inner beauty .when she sees a happy loving couple playing with a bunch of beautiful of girls and boy ----The happy couple is none other than her sister Ruby and painter for whom she has been posing happily with all heart for him.

Ryan 's Song For Prompt of the month July @Writerezineblog

Morning gives Ryan a sweet  and warm welcome. He has come  on vacation to India with his family. Ryan living in USA has not forgotten his early morning strolls to the park. Hear the lines which Ryan sings when he sees a dew on the leaf.

Oh beautiful dew,

You look so new,

Looking at you my hearts sings out a song for  you.

Seeing you my hand  automatically comes near you,

You are quiet like new born baby so soft and delicate too,

Looking at the leaf,

My mind goes out to do some mischief,

Putting my hands in the pocket I feel relieved that the keys are in safe custody of the chief,

Through you I see the whole world as your quiet transparent,

But it acts like mirage to me as you will disappear from here like a tenant.

Hearing my children's voice,

My heart beat rises .

As I see my daughter coming  close to you  I shout at her,

That which makes  your heart bleed,

As you are falling down  from the leaf to become one with the earth,

You fall on my feet.

Touching the leaf where you left your mark,

I fall in dark,

As I show my inward anger on my daughter she runs crying to another park .

Rubbing my forehead I bring her back by hugging her,

As she is like a warm water that which you have taught like true father,

Oh dew on the leaf thank you for giving me such beautiful lessons by setting practical examples for me.

But I have tell one thing that you look like a white beetle.

Book Review of Delirium by Sowmya Aji

Delirium

by 

Soumya Aji
A Harper Collins Publication

Sports, Love, Steroids... Will love win? 

Blurb 

I was addicted. 

To him. 

Anjana Narendra just can’t keep her head straight when it comes to the nation’s heartthrob,cricket vice-captain Avinash Katagi.The mere sight of him sets the heart of this thirty-one-year-old television journalist pounding, and fills her stomach with butterflies. He seems smitten too – taking her out for romantic walks in the botanical gardens, appearing by her side when she has a road accident,knocking on her door in the middle of the night. Even as Anjana is swept off her feet into a whirlwind romance,the reporter within her sniffs out the biggest scoop of the season. all too soon, she is neck-deep in trouble with her bosses and the cricket board, struggling to make sense of the sordid world of steroids and celebs. Will anjana give up the delicious young man she is hooked on to? and does she even want to? Sinful and alluring, Delirium is a heady cocktail of intrigue, temptation and betrayal.

Book Review :

I received this book as a review copy from the author .Thank you The Book Club and Rubina Ramesh for the same. Delirium is excellent book to read .The book is based upon cricket, intake of drugs and journalist who tries to expose them. It is mixture of steamy affair, high octane drama and nail biting suspense. When you read this hair rising book you would not feel like getting up from your place.

The emotions of

·    Anju ---------The journalist.

·   Avinash Katagi --------the national hero and vice captain of Indian Cricket Team.

·   Ratan----a Senior Cricketer and The captain of Indian Cricket Team.

·  And others are described in an enchanting and   eloquent way.

Sowmya Aji has written this book in a very beautiful way. The situations and action packed drama are penned in a fantastic way. This mixture of steamy affair, high octane drama and suspense are proportionally divided .There is no dull moment while reading this book. The pace of story is normal.

Sowmya Aji has described the BCCI's attitude towards the issues like drugs addiction and the intake of steroid by some players of the Indian Cricket Team in an outright manner.

I like the way Anju finally helps him in her way. This book is highly recommended read to all

I've spent most of my life reading and writing.. I also love movies, dance, theatre, music, trekking, yoga.. I tried my hand at Russian and French and remember Rooski Izink Nimnoga and je sais un peu de Francaise .. (I bet I got that wrong).. but the latest language I picked up, Spanish, is very close to my heart, as I want to read Gabriel Garcia Marquez's yellow butterflies in Espanol.. I speak, read and write three Indian languages -- Kannada, Hindi, Tamil .. and my masters is in English, so I obviously love language and communication..
I also love knitting and I hate cooking :) I'm trying very hard to be good at a new job -- parenting -- to my three-year-old, but boy, is that the toughest job!
