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...

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
