A Hauntingly Understated love story

The Bridges of madison County by Robert James waller is a simple love story between two elderly people set in a small town in America. A brief encounter between the two whose passion refuse to budge.A chance meeting we all dream of. A unique celebration of love.

"We are giving up free range ,getting organised,feathering our emotions.Efficiency and effectiveness and all those other pieces of intellectual artifice. And with loss of free range, the cowboy disappears,along with mountain lion and gravy wolf.There is n't much room left for travellers."

Life In Imphal

Life in Imphal is provincial. Everything comes to an end with the end of daylight. As the evening descends, a fear runs through the spine in ancipation of disquieting news. The serenity is often punctured by the reports of guns from distance.

No power.No water. I wonder what will happen to this palce. Are you listening?

Wit, humour and Indian political class

The uproar over Tharoor's tweets betrays how the Indian political class has lost the ability to appreciate wit and humour and pun of high quality.

Tharoor has come from a diffrent background and he will take time to understand how aesthetically and artistically insensitive his collegues have become.

The words like 'Cattle class','solidarity' and 'Holy cow' used by Tharoor go beyond their immidiate meanings and lend a unque dimension to the whole statement he has made.

He is a writer first and every writer plays with words. He can not be stopped from doing that.
