Mostly short Stories that cross my crazy mind. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. I've got to rent the house by today. Jamuna, Clean that window sill, its dirty from yesterday's rains." Triveni called out to her maid. Yes Madam" , responded Jamuna. She was very proud that her apartment was unique for its balcony view of the city. Why should I charge anything less than 15,000 ruppes? She had asked Janardhana Rao, a broker defiantly. Have you seen the view from the balcony? She was in no mood to step down. He had go...

Ruminations: Book Review: No Higher Honor by Condoleezza Rice
http://karasevai.blogspot.com/2011/12/book-review-no-higher-honor-by.html
Random thoughts and musings of my crazy mind! Book Review: No Higher Honor by Condoleezza Rice. The book reads like a compilation of world happenings in the first decade of 2000. You get some insight into the way American dealt with many issues that happened and how the discussions to resolve many a dispute played out. It was an interesting book to read. However, it could have been a lot better if it had not been stuck in a loop about Israel and Iraq. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Roses and Ferns: A rehearsal to remember
http://rosesandferns.blogspot.com/2009/12/rehearsal-to-remember.html
Mostly short Stories that cross my crazy mind. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. A rehearsal to remember. She stood there under the glare of flood lights that almost blinded her. It was a large stage and an even larger auditorium. Lovely red capes donned its side walls hiding the back stage from the audience. She stood poised for the music to start. It was perhaps the worst decision of her life to participate in the competition she thought. That night, for some reason, a small voice inside her said, why not ...

Random thoughts and musings of my crazy mind! Book Review: Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. When I saw Shantaram on the bookshelves of a leisure store a few years back when it was launched, I did pickup the book and read the synopsis. It said. " The story of a fugitive from Australia who sneaks into Mumbai and ends up in the slum and joins the mafia and goes on to fight with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Russians. I opened and read the first page. I was intrigued and I picked up the book&#...

Ruminations: Book Review: Immortals of Meluha by Amish
http://karasevai.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-review-immortals-of-meluha-by.html
Random thoughts and musings of my crazy mind! Book Review: Immortals of Meluha by Amish. What if Shiva was a man as human as anyone can be thrust with an enormous burden of responsibility to fight for good and vanquish evil, thrust with a stature of god for reasons he cannot come to terms with, and not a worker of miracles like the lore says? What a brilliant premise for a work of fiction? Soon, Shiva finds himself leading a battle against the Chandravanshis who are blamed for the repeated terrorist atta...

Ruminations: Gandhi was bisexual?
http://karasevai.blogspot.com/2011/03/gandhi-was-bisexual.html
Random thoughts and musings of my crazy mind! Controversial book on Gandhi banned. Apparently a new book says that Gandhi was bisexual and so India has banned the book and sic. If all of Gandhi's sins were being bisexual or drinking or eating meat before he changed himself to become a Mahatma, i say fine! He was all of that and none of it matters to an Indian than what he achieved for India. He was not born a Mahatma. So we have to make allowances for the 'coming of age' period of his life. It wa...I say...
