Hungry Tide[M&B]

Friday, May 23, 2008 1:57 PM


This is the 4th mills and boons book i have shopped,my records inform me.The name is The Hungry Tide, written by Lucy Gillen.This book was first published in 1975 and i have a copy of 1976 edition of the book.

Genre - Fiction,romance

Age Factor - A simple plain love story,i don't see any reason,why teenagers cant read it.
Still, its for everyone who has crossed the 15 year mark.

The book - I wrote it before,i will repeat myself.Its a simple plain love story,and there are 4 main characters involved.A little boy named Nicky,her governess,Rachel, Neil, her employer and Neil's cousin Lars. So as you can easily guess,the girl is caught between two guys. However,this story has an interesting element,i.e. Nicky's death mother,and an unknown father.The story keeps you guessing till the end,which makes it a good read.

Gifting Ideas
If you can find this book,in bookstores,which i think would be a difficult task, go for it.But make sure that its a girly book, so don't gift it to a guy,worse of all to an acquaintance. Mills&boons are generally a nice buy for your gal friends who like mushy romance.

A thought that matters

A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. William Styron, interview, Writers at Work, 1958

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...

Adopt what is right.....

I see that many people of my age group adopt certain western cultures. School students and college goers are often seen buying friendship bands and valentine cards. I feel its not right. You may think I am traditional and don't keep up to date views. But if you think a little maturely you will find out its not modern to wear friendship bands. Its rather pure pride. Now as I am talking about western culture I should tell you that I'm not against it in fact I find some of the western values very much followable like dignity of work, civic sense, accountability etc. We have to maturely decide what to adopt from the westerners and what not to adopt. Why should we go after them when we have a culture of such great versatility? -Priya Joyce

7 Wild healing practices That Healed Me More Than Coaching Ever Did: What If Getting Better Means Getting a Little Wild?

What if healing does not always begin with another question, another worksheet or another carefully worded goal? Wild healing practices invite emotion into the body through movement, sensation, sound, memory and ritual. This first-person journey explores seven unconventional practices that helped me notice what conversation alone could not, while keeping therapy, safety and genuine trauma care firmly in view. Have you ever spent so much time trying to improve yourself that you began to suspect that self-improvement had quietly become another job? I know the feeling. There was a period in my life when I could discuss my emotional patterns with impressive confidence, identify my triggers before breakfast and explain the origin of almost every uncomfortable reaction with the solemn satisfaction of a man who had finally discovered the instruction manual for himself. I was learning, reflecting, journalling, setting intentions and having sensible conversations about growth. On paper, I was d...
