Inscrutable Americans

Monday,26 may 2.56 pm
I don't remember which year it was,but as it happens every year,nanimaa gave money for baisakhi [i always remind her that,no one nowadays celebrates baisakhi mela but she likes to stick to her traditions]So what did i do with money which nani had given for eating junk food and sweets :D ?
I bought the inscrutable Americans by Anurag Mathur :-)
So i write about the most hilarious book i have ever read [I start laughing hearing its name hehe]

Genre - fiction,comedy

Age factor - 17 and above

The book
A small town boy has to spend a year in America.His english is twisted and bit different and funny from the actual english.So the story is great,its hilarious.The boy wonders,why a guy is named randy in America?
Arent randy's supposed to be women as happens in India? something like that.So,the whole of his year in America is put forward to you.
Another point worth noting is the depth of emotions that the author has covered in a disguise of a hilarious story.
A great book,i heard a film is to be made out of it.I am going to watch it for sure.
Read it,if you haven't read it.Learn while you laugh your heart out.

Gifting ideas
95 rupees is the print rate.Rupa@co. is the publisher,a wonderful book to gift your friend or a cousin.My observation says boys like this book more then girls do.Since its a bestseller, you can find it very easily.Most of the bookstore owners know all about it.

A thought worth sharing
" The smallest bookstore still contains more ideas of worth than have been presented in the entire history of television." ~Andrew Ross

Jai Sri Ram !!!

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Think of it as a friendly guide that explains the budget like a story, not a spreadsheet. Why does the Union Budget India 2026-2027 matter to you?

Despite record tax collections, a large share is swallowed by debt servicing rather than fresh development. Breaking down the numbers Fiscal Deficit (FY27) : ₹16.95 lakh crore, or 4.3% of GDP . Interest Payments : Over ₹14 lakh crore, making it the single largest expenditure item. Total Expenditure : Around ₹53....

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
