Aug 11, 2014. I should not have watched a wizard story a night before my interview", Tejas muttered to himself, disbelieving what he saw in the mirror. How can I go like this to the interview? I look like a five year old kid! He talked to his reflection. "You always wanted to be a kid, don't you? The mirror asked in reply. Whatever", he gestured as if he disagreed with his own choice at the moment. "Thank God, at least I have my kid's dress to wear! Hey kiddo, is your father coming to drop you in school?

Jam's Chronicle: A Review of Shattered Dreams (Book II: Ramayana - The Game of Life)
http://317cauvery.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-review-of-shattered-dreams-book-ii.html
May 21, 2015. A Review of Shattered Dreams (Book II: Ramayana - The Game of Life). Is a sequel to the first book in Ramayana - The Game of Life written by Shubha Vilas, a spiritual seeker and a motivational speaker. Honestly, I have not read the first book titled Rise of Sun Prince. Which was based on first chapter or Bal Kanda. Of Ramayana. But then, a book based on one of the most popular epics is like packing old wine in a new bottle. What really matters is the way it is presented. We live in an era a...

Dec 27, 2016. 5 arrows: Krishna and Arjuna. A brief recap from Part 1. Duryodhana felt enraged as eight of his brothers were killed so far after the end of eighth day battle in Kurukshetra, while Kauravas were not even close to capturing Pandavas. His provoking accusation leads Bhishma to take a vow to kill all the Pandavas before next dusk with five golden arrows on which he had imbued his life’s penance. Krishna was pacing back and forth when Arjuna entered. Arjuna knew that Duryodhana was enraged when...

Jul 31, 2014. Are you a vegetarian? I have been asked this question several times at different occasions by different sort of people. Am I a vegetarian? To find an answer to this question, I tried to list things that I do not eat. I do not eat fish, meat, pork, chicken, not even egg. In short, I do not eat anything which I think has a right to live. Or so I thought. Does not vegetables have life of their own? The only choice I have at this point is to accept the presence of a supernatural power (God, nat...

Mar 15, 2014. Indru Oru Thagaval: Anger Management. I heard the following story on anger management narrated by Thenkachi Ko. Swaminathan in Indru Oru Thagaval (Today's fact of the day), a popular radio show during early 90's. Once there lived a very short tempered kid who gets angry at slightest provocation. In a fit of rage, he would break any object that comes to his hand. His father tried several methods to teach him how to control his anger. His father replied, "I am not going to teach you or advice...

Dec 5, 2014. Review of The Mahabharata Quest. Christopher C Doyle”, I read the author’s name aloud holding the book I have just received. Has blogadda asked me to review the work of an American author? I wondered. After googling, I came to know that the author is very much Indian who went to St. Stephens and IIM Calcutta for his education. I hoped that it is not so, for otherwise I would have to read his first book in order to be able to review the second one. The challenge is to come up with a compellin...

Aug 23, 2015. Sir, do you want your vehicle to be packed? A labor asked him as Vinod entered through the parcel office of Bhubaneswar railway station". I will charge only Rs. 450 and my work will be neat", he continued. Vinod thought about the offer for a minute and nodded his approval. In the next 30 minutes, his bike would be neatly packed and ready to be parceled by a train. He was not in a hurry though. The train would only leave at noon on the next day. He asked politely and waited for his response.
