Of Silvertongues and Dustfinger and Jamie and Barney... its Legendary....

Oh, I love this movie... its exactly what I dream about, seeing your characters come to life... I mean literally like in the movie. Wouldn't that be totally mindblowing, imagine meeting Arutha -The Prince of Crydee, Sherlock Holmes, Calvin, Rhett Butler, Aragon, Jane Eyre, Captain Nemo and the countless other folks I have fallen in love with over the years. Now I can't wait to read all the three books: Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath... Among the many sagas or trilogy's or sequences that have come out so far, none actually compares to the Magician. This is a book I found long back when I was 16 or something in an old dusty trunk... the front cover itself was enticing, there was this weird palatial structure set against a strikingly brilliant sky, I think that was when it struck... the 'love at first sight' concept. Anyway, the little story at the back was even more enchanting, it spoke of an alien world and magic and warriors... so I got lost in it. I carried that book with me when I left home for the first time... and now its here with me, to read and hold whenever life seems to get too enormous to fathom.

Back home I actually watched a lot of TV shows during my vacation, thanks to Nam... she still maintains her role as my TV and Movie guide. She had all the seasons of 'One Tree Hill' and 'How I Met Your Mother', I saw just the last seasons and its crazy... everybody sleeps with everybody else, yet somehow these shows are entertaining enough with their witty dialogues, soundtracks and the way the characters undergo major makeovers every season... its fun. Anyway, the only characters I really like in One Tree Hill are Jamie and Brooke and sometimes Nathan Scott. Jamie is so cute, I mean you can't help but like him... he's adorable and his expressions are awesome, he's one cool kid. I wonder how much he is making at this young age...

Barney is another interesting character from 'How I whatever'... he has all these weird ideas and notions in his head and he is always doing stupidly funny things, and he really has some hilarious lines in the show... watch these videos, its legen... wait for it... dary, Barney cracks me up...

Thanks Pushpak... that was extremely thoughtful of you. Doesn't make a difference to me though.
I wish I could get the laptop soon, this ancient one here is testing my patience.

I have yet to read the INK series... I've read some of her other books... she's good!

One of my favourite Barney scenes was that monologue play he did to get back at Lily. It was so funny!
Check out The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon Cooper is one of the best sitcom characters ever invented.

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
