G. Durrell - "Rosy is my relative"

My next article for this blog is about G. Durrell's book "Rosy is my relative". The head hero of his story is young man, perhaps 25 years old, whose life bores him. It changed at a time when his uncle died - after which he inherits an exotic property, the elephant.
Story is based on funny events - birthday's party of lord's daughter, deterioration of hunting etc.
If you want good titter, read this book, it's super.

Wealth vastu case study: How one investor turned real estate into wealth In this wealth vastu case study, we explore how Choden, a seasoned investor, transformed underperforming rental properties into a thriving energy field of wealth using ancient Vastu principles, energetic space alignment, and simple rituals.
