Listening to the GrassHoper : As if, i didn know that!!!

February 6, 2010 2 comments

A Masterpiece??? Read and decide

After the award winning “The God of Small Things” from the Socialist cum writer, it was a different side to see which was there in “Belly of The Beast” and with the “Algebra of Infinite Justice” the democratic calculations of additions and subtractions were again out in the open. With “Listening to the Grasshopper” , Arundhati Roy  immensely focuses on the terms like genocide and bigotry , redefining them so as to make them understandable for the people which don’t often encounter such terms in their daily course. Terms like these which have marked their presence in history, with a bloody stain still waiting to be washed.
Listening to the Grasshopper underlines the inconsistencies in the largest democracies of the world, and makes the general public aware (if they aren’t till date!!!) of what lies underneath the blooming flowers. The more than obvious attitude of any Indian blaming the in power government (who cares what the opposition says isn’t it) is the idea behind this book , and is also the  kind of  attitude the author is trying to change. It may appear that the author is an upcoming ticket holder from the Mighty Congress, but the book is as real as anything on politics would ever get. By again and again redefining the term democracy, the literary powers of the author have grown to such an extent and he can delude the readers from the fundamental meaning of the term.
If you know a historian, than do sit with him sometimes for a cup of coffee and he will tell you, that this mighty big nation has innumerable instances where the basic reason for its very existence were defied and debated upon, but he will also tell you that the nation still stands. Even if it does not hold its head high, it still pretends to do so and with a hell lot of accuracy. JAI HO

The Associate : Who wants to be a Lawyer?

September 30, 2009 Leave a comment
No one is bigger & hotter than the Law

No one is bigger & hotter than the Law

 
After reading this one, i am warning every lawyer at our good old uncle sam’s state, watch your back dude, m cuming for you with my stun gun and butterfly knife, m short of pocket money. Have you ever witnessed a case when an engineer whose just 2 years short(hopefully) of earning his first graduate degree, suddenly out of nowhere sais ‘Damn yaaar, chose the wrong option, i even liked black’.  If you havent, then m lettin out a lil secret, I am one.
The cover itself depicts, that these son of …(chalo leave it, i might get sued for that) earn so much, that every dog of the alley is just after them. This here , is quite an intiriguin piece of art,by the famous ‘The’ fame (you’ll notice he has a lot of ‘The’s’ in his titles) Mr Grisham. Now, its seems like its not only our titsy bitsy Mr Johar bettin his little pocket money on K’s nd stuff, or our Tilak Queen, Ms Unity but the world if quite full of such philosophers.
So it’s a deadly game of blackmail, nd there playin with him, and our hero here is quite a player himself ;) , you know what i mean. So it goes somethin like this, our little kid over here, did what people normally do in their school life(not in hindustan i mean), smoke pot, booze parties, girls nd all their hoppin activities. And suddenly in one of their small get togethers, a bang happens. A girl, who eats less and sleeps more ( with some one else that is)  gets nailed..nthinn unsual about that hun…ofcourse their is..she’s  raped guys(Scream). And guess who the couched belonged too…guess guess,..to our little hero over here aur kaun. But time moves on, people forget and they also move ON. After a while the hero suddenly reads somethinn like this ‘Satuatory Warning : Ciggratte Smokin is INjurious to health’ and he decided to be the good old Mama’s boy. Gets into the the top most law college in the world, and is one of those…top performers every firm has an eye on. To pay him somethinn in like 7 figures and earn in like what..10 no 11 figures. But, he wants to a samaj sevak BUT ( and a big one ie) we don want that do we, cummon we’re payin Rs 250 fr this, samaj sewaks don get hot,fair,sexy girls (Kamineys are exceptions). The girl is with rich, slogging, smart, Yale graduate. So, now we have the Ganda Uncle enter, with his little reviving the past session, he gets our Hero do what he wants him to do. Sell hot dogs, at a ever low price, at wall street, and try listening to lawyer chat, and pass confidential info, or at least somethinn like it.
In the whole journey, our hero here acts like a hero, thinks like a hero, sleeps like hero (oops..sry) and wins like a hero. Nothinn which is happening for the first time, and certainly..certainly not for the last time.
The book cannot be termed as a page turner but is just a lil time pass entertainer. A paisa vassool..in hindustanin bhasa..provided your buyin it from one of those red light book sellers. And if not ..the sorry fellas.i think the girl friends’s waitin and there’s a spot at CCD just about to get filled. After all we are not like our hero over here..who’s paid for everythinn he does from bathing to dating.
I wish i had been a lawyer, wud’ve sued my self for writin this crap..but isnt this a democracy were living in ;)

The White Tiger : Out of the Cage, Into the Hearts

September 13, 2009 Leave a comment
Hilarious Murder ,not a mystery

Hilarious Murder ,not a mystery

 
Helloo all, finally we have nabbed the tiger just on the way to the deep dark jungles. After hunting for years, our virtuosic tiger over here (aka Mr Adiga) has his mouth full of a long shiny trophy, a booker prize (loud applause). The jury was laughing there ass off, and here he was, our hilarious Mr Adiga,a true son of the motherland, standing on stage, and wavin his shiny souvenir like one of those hand fans you can find in a dingy at Pallika Bazaar, New Delhi, ‘JAI HO’.
One of the most hilarious sarcasms i’ve ever witnessed, he was even more funny than my padosi aunty, weighing about a ton, and has this obvious India Aunty nature, of peepin whenver a long sedan stops in front of the house. Then she goes back in, where there is our 20 kg uncle, ‘Bahar vekh khotte, lambi gaddi, kabhi tere pyon ne bhi vekhi hain’. JAI HO.
Now, since my padosi aunty is not our subject today, let us talk about  our little animal over here. Our Hero of the story is a small town kid, big town dreams living near Ganga Kinaare. Now u’ll not find many indians who hate the holy ganga, i know that  every thing under the sun is being dumped in it thesa days, but c’mon man, it is ganga we are talkin bout.
He mentions all this in a 500 page love  letter (sigh) to a small thinga chinky, Mr somethinn ‘ooo’  this big time babbuu in a chinii sarkar. I guess Mr Adiga predicted the future, we don want our brothers from another mother to get angry do we. ;) JAI HO.
So, this small town kid, whose fascinated with a conductor’s dress and a whistle, had a lot of brains, was a first class student in school. The school is the place in the book where you come to know why the book is named what it is named. In a village , what all do we find,1. A kuan,2. Kuan ke pass Ladkiyan, 3. Ladkyon ke pass Zamindar, 4. Zamindar ke pass Zamin, & 5. Zamin ke pass fir kuan. So it all goes round nd round, chukki peeesing & Peesing. The absolute elegance of mentioning the Landlords was the 2nd best part ,the 1st best being Pinky Madam( don worry people,well come to it) . The hero, learns to drive, and guess what he becomes ;) a driver. Son of a rickshaw puller, behind the wheel of an expensive sedan, now this is called kismat ke karvat. And when your driving down  NRI with his NRI wife then, thazz kismat ki badi karvat. Slowly and slowly, they seem to like their new driver and some judagd here, and some jugad there our hero enters the big city. Apni Dillli. From the village roads with Khaddas,the hero’s drivin on the roads of delhi with bigger khaddas(its rainning these days you know). JAI HO
And when the hero was getting accustomed to the round nd round flyover, the malik here was learning how to oil the indian machinery, even that oil is adulterated. The zoo family here ( you’ll know when you read it) is doin this kala dhanda of coal and all. And since in this holy motherland of ours, everything starts and ends at Delhi, so here we are an NRI with his NRI wife and his non-NRI driver in a Metro (full of Metropolitans).Even the driver her is discovering something, discovering the DEEP dark secrets of this HARDworking city. He’s discovering himself , his desires, his senses and his hopes and his dreams. And is suddenly starting to notice his NRI’s Bosse’s NRI wife, a little closely than he used too. Pinky Madam, the typical mall going, slum hating, disco dancing, skirt wearing, drunk driving, man hitting , divorcing husband, kinda lady. With qualifications like that, even the big seths would fall for her, then why not our bhola babu here.
The books goes at those tickly spots, and makes you laugh until your stomach hurts. With sheer elegance, and direct sensibl sarcasm the author tries to tell you somthing, and doesnt bore you. He points towards those innumerable hindu deities keepin intact the affection and respect. The protagonist would appear to be the hero throuh whole of the book, you can get a lil drifted in the middle, but this is Hindustan, heroes live hero, die hero, walk hero, and talk hero.
JAI HO ;)
 

Hart’s War : The Ball is in Your COURT

An Exciting Courtroom Drama..one of a kind

An Exciting Courtroom Drama..one of a kind

 
Hola!! People…Back after a long time are we ;) . If your thinking why i wasnt bloggin for a long time, please tell me if you get it, coz i’ve been thinking the same thing. Well now i’ve stopped thinking and maybe thazz the reason i am  back on my normal routine of giving my KeyBoard a hell of a bad time. Just think about it, how would you feel when some lousy lazy lethargic lad pokin you through out the day, and you don even have a mouth to say “Watch where you pokin you dumbass”.
 Moving on with our little book over here, heres a book that gives you one of the most intriguing courtroom drama ever written. Mr Katzenbach ( srry if i spelled it wrong) had to have a lot of coffee sessions with a man of law, coz as they say ‘A Lot can happen over coffee’, i wonder who payed the bill coz i’ve never seen a lawyer paying just seen them suing (bad one..i know)
Now, here we are in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of good old Uncle Sam’s EMPLOYEES who were just doin there normal chores (choppin heads, stabbing the torso, killing, beheading nd stuff) when they were nabbed by the very calm and composed German Breed. Who just have there own way to say “You’ve done some naughty things kid, now it’s snoozing time” (translated in german).
All the POW ( pissed off warriors, or was it Prisoners of War) were in a POW camp carrying out their Normal POW activites in a POW kinda way. Washing, eating, beating, sneezing and all the ings one can think of ( except one..no girls there you see).They had all what they needed, a 46 inch plasma, a PS3, a sexily dressed waitress in order to SERVE them, a multicuisine Menu,a pool table, a swimmin pool and the whole shabang.Hehehe..i got you there didnt I. They are POWs guys not me (;))
The guys out there made innumerable attempts to smell the free air which reminded me of Chicken Run. And guess what we even had a MAJDOOR UNION, to validate and implement the escaping plans & also to offer a not-very-persuasive testimony incase the good guys didnt make it.
And then…whoa a guy gets killed in the looo…guess just couldnt handle the PRESSURE. And the white guys did what they do best, GET THE BLACK MAN or the monotonous THE BLACK MAN DID IT. I don blame them, if i had as intense an appearance as he did, i wouldve hanged my self. Now,,i don rememeber who came with the out-of-the-box advice but it sure did make an impact. And then inspite of all the ODDS (nd evens) we have a Criminal Trial in a POW Camp.
Oops..i forgot our HERO, the guy on the cover, Mr Hart. An aspiring law student ( with a story of his own of why he’s advocating in a POW camp) who just fell in love with the black guy (i did say no girls didnt i) and thinks no…its not the Black this time. So he carries out a typical homicide investigation, and in a place deprived of the essentials, he gets hold of a camera(hahaha) and has his own post mortem thing goin as fast as ferrari.
In the middle of all this, we have Hitler’s Brother from a another mother, the guy with just one  hand (poor guy ;) ), who was just masquerading around. But he had the Dabar Lal Dant Manjan teeth you know, even our little budding lawyer would seem to agree with it.
So filled with all the twists and tweaks, with all the ORDER ORDER, MY LORD,AADRNIYA JUDGE MAHODAY and that kinda stuff we have in our hand a very heavy,very long Hart’s War.
If your not much of reader, just like me ;) than can see the movie Hart’s War, starring Bruce Willis.
P.S.: A must have for lawyers (i think),
For Lawyers : Don charge me for the advice please ;)

Anything For You Ma’am : Imaginary Romance

August 24, 2009 3 comments
Would force you to fall in love

Would force you to fall in love

Hey all, so again we have one of those love stories from another new kid on the block. All the love stories written by Hindustanis are indeed impeccable, coz we provide the reader with the real picture inspite of just dazzling them away. All that glitters is not gold, but is hell expensive these days. The book would touch you at those untouched places, and would also force you to be in love. And would also clear some myths like IITian just have brains , nope they do have a heart aswell and when they use it, they bloody well excel in that aswell.
So, as the title depicts, it is the love story of an IITian (Human Beings type). The title forced me to think that it’s just one of those books in which a student hits on his young & sexy teacher, but fortunately its not. Idealism is like a home made recipe for Desi authors, something which is tough to attain, is not tough to sell when you right about it.
‘Jaisa ki maine kaha tha’, make them curious, and you can even sell them your used clothes at the price of new.
The book has our IIT brainy, who is a champion flirto (Champion because, he goes beyond than just flirting)  and hits or tries to hit on his sisters friend. One of the many advantages of having a sister, the chances get increased ( but if you have a sis like me, then your on your own kiddo), then you’ll not mind sparin a few extra bucks on rakhi and Bhai dooj . I wonder where did they come from, easy money guys.
So our JUGADOO who loves to read (like me), is good in talking ( like me) and can play a guitar( not like me) has everything what a girl would want(like me). The guy can sing, talk, think, and say i love you a million times a day.An Adarsh Boy Friend.
But KNOCK KNOCK!!! problem guys, this here is a Long Distance Relationship, poor fellow , STD all the time, i can understand. So since our guys is just sick of spending double the money on just talking ( no naughty stuff, this time its clean), he puts into use , that bada IIT dimag of his, and makes a Yojana to meet his PREM KANYA(Love girl). Oh did i mention another love scene , its the teacher who loves his bull (hahaha) not the SAAND yaar, its BioBull. A kinda Bus which runs on some cheap fuel.
The Books filled with too many (and i mean too many) coincidences. I mean okay, you meet your fathers friend in some distant Sheher, acceptable, but you on a train, with your girls JEJA, and your ADHYAPAK, thazz the bloody limit.
But its a book, and all characters in this book are fictitious, and any resemblance to any living thing or matter would be pure coincidental.:P
Nice work done Mr Raheja, not bad for a debut, and also not a bad buy for 100 bucks. Gimme 30 on every book and every day i’ll blog bout your book, filled with heavy and nice sounding adjectives

All in all, the books nice, fun to read. I am sure you’ll want to fall in love after that, you’ll have that tingly feeling and for the next few days every girl in town would appear to be your true love.

But as i said, everything that glitters is not gold, but its hell expensive ;)

The Hades Factor : When the world got Covert.

A Thriller with all the Bang Bang

A Thriller with all the Bang Bang

This would be the most absurd order you must’ve witnessed. But its not my fault, its just that i saw Cassandra Compact before i read about Hades Factor (mentioned in Cassandra Compact). This book also deals with some deadly disease which if not checked would destroy the human race (wow, how creative) now now, i know you might be saying ” Kya Yaar,Phir woi baat”, my grandpa used to say it all the time, even when i was saying it for the first time. It took me a lot of time to understand that its just his age, until i understood that, we were fighting almost everyday.
Its nice that no one in the Indian Pharmacy world has read this book, coz if they would’ve, most of them would get listed above Bill Gates in terms of money and above Sonia Gandhi for power (Check out this years Forbes List).
I really regret the fact that i am not writing about the new hot dish on the table these days,its ironic that every dog on the block is pretending to have a mouthfull of that and then just barking in every alley , commenting that it had too much meat. DAMN..
All this happens in Hindustan Only. If its still getting tough to guess the recipe, lemme give it you. Take a pan, pour some home made RSS Oil, cut the BJP in small pieces, Grind JINNAH,NEHRU,& Sardar Patel , Fry Them all together and just Sprinkle some of JASWANT SINGH over it and walla, here we are, the very new BJP DO PYAJA.
Its a big godamn book you know, and i am an Engineering Student so, it’ll not take me much time to complete it since i have all the vella time in the world.
So Now, comming back to our Italian Pasta overhere, the book starts with the JANTA vomiting blood in various parts of the world and the eventually getting dead and all in one of the most scariest of ways. Also our Munda in this tale is the same doctor-karate kid guy as mentioned in cassandra compact. But he’s not the saddy saddy this time, you know why, coz he has his girl. And then we have Mr Ludlum’s style of describing the Feminine Species and he does not disappoint us at all. With utter perfection and finesse he makes us marvel his elegance and art. So both the wouldbe’s are doctors in some big time Government thing under the square (square????…ooops the PENTAGON).
So when the government is running out of mortuaries to fill, the big Bhaiyas of the pentagon start getting their pants wet, and thus prepare a special team to help them dry it.
In the mean time our Lovebirds are just having a nice little cosy time in their  hotel room with wine and stuff, just talking i presume. When they are done with their KABADDI thing , the girl has to go, dont get carried away people, they were there for a conference. And our Munda here is just called in the park in night ,no he’s not 2 timing its just that he needs to warned by his SHUBH CHINTAK something like ” Unko pata Chal gaya hain, bhago jaan bachake” kinda shit.
And please put your hands together for…you know who the Ganda Admee, remember that we are in a world where “Ek ki taklif, dusre ka fayda” , want me to translate..no probs it means if somebodies about to get screwed, there’s this someone selling the screwdriver. The question is was he/she about to get screwed just because someone is selling the screwdriver, or their getting screwed coz they’ve already bought it.
The Book is filled with all the answers. The Iraq errand, the bouncing cars, girl friend’s murder, a deadly profit chart,
an ex intelligence officer, a genius ecliptic hacker and our very own Karate kid.
Together they show you, all what you wanna witness and experience.

Sometimes making money doesnot remain same as earning it.. ;)

The Cassandra Compact : Emotional Adventure

A medical mystery, tragedy & jeopardy

A medical mystery, tragedy & jeopardy

 
This ones new, unique, interesting and above all from an author whom I didn’t know much, but after reading this, really got addicted to his work. Mr Ludlum, remember our old Neck Breaking, Nice Looking Jason Bourne. The nice little calm kid was a figment of Mr Ludlum’s imagination.
Now, I won’t deny the fact that i bought the book coz it had a nice cover, was looking heavy, and i was getting it cheap.Not many would read an author they haven’t heard of, most would even not know anybody except their usual Family Authors (Read through generations). Don’t take it as a shock,  but many of my old pals who call themselves ‘Reader’ ( In what sense, i am still solving that puzzle) think its only Madam Christie who WRITES, some think of our own small town Kid Mr Bhagat to be the only author with a mischievous touch, some think Arundhati Roy is the only one who writes with a dictionary placed next to her. What we need to know is that the world is way bigger than that,so one should not feel shy about experimenting ( with books & authors) so as to know about the different styles that can be there, and the different styles which were meant to be there….
So now we move on this little story over here, what Mr Ludlum knew and maybe was the first one to realize that involving (or blaming) the agencies like CIA,NSA,MI6 and all, was as common as  having a girl friend (i dont wish to tease all those who are single ;) ) and dared to try something new, The Covert One   another one of those ‘barely there’ organizations , answerable to noone, was funded like anything, and also had smarter suites (Armaani I guess). So the man in the Picture is Mr John Smith,a supposed -to-be-a-doctor kinda guy who was also given martial arts lesson in his medical school, not very much like our medical schools where Martial Arts is DOOR KI BAAT, medical lessons are something uncommon (;)). So he is this fit fat dude, with blue eyes and stuff working for the Covert Organization covertly.
Now unlike many action or rather fiction novels i’ve read so far, this is the first one where the HERO is made to cry ‘ Lost your little girl there ,haaan kid’ . Our guy here is extremely emotional, not the usual DEVDAS LOUNDA,but something like a ZAKHMI SHER ‘Don you mess with me bad boys’.
When i was reading the book, what i discovered that the ‘Hades Tragedy’ was often mentioned, and then i just slapped my head ‘ Damn man, reading the 2nd in the series before the first, Hindustan Zindabad’. But inspite of that, was able to undertstand the whole mess easily, and ‘Hindustan Zindabad’ again.
So our guy is filled with it all anger,hate,depression, so u’ll find all the rona dhona stuff coupled with a unique style of narration. The protagonist in our little story over here is your usual, SRK and Hrithik Mixture.
The story involves the Soviet Union, and the deadly smallpox (it may sound stupid, but it wass deadly) which was stolen,i guess the thief didnt know that ‘Chori karna buri baat hain’. When the story unfolds our guy here has this strong evidence against these BADA BABUS ( aka government employees) at the top and also some money dreaming private big fish (They’re every where man) whose just in a mood to kill a couple of people, inorder to afford his ’2 waqt ka butter chicken’ ,bloody self-centered pig.
Also in the story we have (My Favourite) Peter Howell (No, he’s not a Dog) your usual play-calm and shoot them in the head kinda guys. Who knows everything about the agencies deep dark secrets, and is present almost everywhere.
The tale would dazzle those pure’ Mar Dhad’ lovers and make you say ‘Awww poor kid’ and in the very next page ‘ Atta Boy’ or ‘Go for them tiger’.
So the book is nice a real page turner but dont fool around like me and read ‘The Hades Factor’ first.
‘Tab tak ke liye, Namaskar’ TING!!!1

Angels & Demons : Hu-man(e) Vs God

August 13, 2009 Leave a comment
Would be History you would love to attend

Would be a History lesson you would love to attend

 
Now now now..Mr Brown really did upset some religious people with his little history lesson right there. The book was termed  ‘anti-Catholic’ and the author was considered as a ‘Catholism’ basher  after his unique attempt to impress the crowd ( which was more than an attempt) turned out something like an attempt to set the churches on fire and fury. Strong believers (or rather blind) of Jesus Christ were filled with rage when they completed this book ( and cursed the very day they bought it) . The book not only made people curious but also showed us the fights, the arguments, the discussions going about a not-neglect-able topic. Running towards an automated life, when almost everything is discovered and the ‘Nerdy’ people say the world is JUST becomming ready for more, do we actually know what happens after the death, the secrets that were never told (obviously, thazz why there called secrets),never revealed,never discussed. Were we to afraid to discuss or debate or were we just ignoring it (right everything else, the Shouting boss, Friends Sister, The Exam Results, etc….).
The book talks about the resurrection of an ancient anti-catholic cult , The ILLUMINATI(not the CFL company guys). Highlights man’s urge to make more, take more, break more.
The HEROES entry is in a filmy way,when he’s in the pool, just about to go and have his daily wine dose when he sees this envelope, since he was really expecting this he opens it like a kid opens his Christmas present and WHAM!!!,not quite what you expected haan kid .He turns it upside down and WHAM !!! again..damn where did THEY come from. Far Far away from him, in the Swiss alps, the Nerdy people who just can’t go home and live with their beautiful wives, just keep poking from here and there ( attention seekers) were
just having fun seeing some tiny particles rock each others world , making them bash into each other. The WALLA we have something,ANTI – MATTER, which was considered as ANTI-GOD and stuff. So the guy behind all this fireworks show, was murdered( Tana!!! Rings the bell) yup murdered and marked (Like,,,don need to check, i made it sure he dies, intelligent hmmm) . So now, the girl in the picture , a yoga person ( JAI BABA RAMDEV) decribed again with the shrills and thrills (Mr Brown is indeed the best of what he does), the dead man’s daughter is GUSSA and is searching for something (No, Not his will!!) . And when she doesnt find it, WHOOM,all hell breaks loose.
Again somewhere far far away, the CHAUKIDARS are watching a live feed of a Shiny Little thing, hanging in the air (Not Keeping with thier reputation, they were not drunk).
Now the HERO , Mr Lantern (oops Langdon) is suddenly in the Vatican (and is shit scared…”Theyr gonna kill me man”).
For the people there, Mr Langdon is not the usual we’ll-help-you kinda guys, he was you-&%$@ kinda people. who was considered as a the revealer of Catholic Concpiracys.
Then again we have the phyco thug, killing people around, then going back to his DARAWANI HAWELI for the deserts.
Since no one likes to sit idle ( There not paid for that are they) ,Mr Langdon meets this Camarlengo person ( how do words hard to spell get invented), i am still not able to figure out wass that the guy’s post or his name, Who is this big time fan of Jesus Christ and believes Man’s the most noblest of animals, Women are the most divine creatures, and the world is filled with lemme-help you kinda people.Lets call him the Mr Nicey ( easy to spell), expresses his faith in our nice guy, and makes him the warrior of god (Go Kid, walk the path of light, my blessings and spies are with you). When someone is so gooody, its this obvious human nature of Kuch to Locha hain sorts.
I Almost forgot, our Yoga girl, has also arrived, he greets Mr Langdon in her own Yoga way and there they are an ANTI-CATHOLIC with a SCIENTIST blessed with the SUSPICIOUS PRIEST to WALK DOWN THE PATH OF LIGHT. Good job Mr Brown, their all here ;)
 So they explore the beautiful and divine city with a psycho killer on the loose, they enjoy the BURNING beaches, the DROWNING water fall, the KILLING crowd and many more broken lamps on the Path of Light.
Its the war between the Intellects and Spiritualists, both sides have a strong foundation and can really convince anyone with their rhetoric skill to be on their team.
Read the book and decide your side
Amen..
 

Deception Point : Fictional Parade

August 12, 2009 3 comments
An addictive tale, full of everthing that make it a bestseller

An addictive tale, full of everthing that make it a bestseller

In our course of life, we come across a lot of Deceptions, in some cases we can see the real picture, in most cases we can’t. Look around you, there are deceptions everywhere the padosi aunty, the Badmash Neta, your boss, your best friend ( i dont write this coz i am pessimist, itz just coz its true!!!). To come over them, one has to have an obstruction free vision and patience.
Leaving the mysteries of life, lets move on to the DECEPTION POINT, Mr Brown has once again targeted an intelligence agency ( I wonder why security agencies indulge in all this!!!).
The individuals who are chosen to make our life a little easy to live and to make it complication free, who have all the brains in the world, who are sworn under some oath to protect us and all..i think all of this is a deception.
The honesty and modesty of all the Nation’s Security Pillars are out in the open, and indeed has always been a hot topic of debate.
So, the book deals with a rock falling on our motherearth somewhere where it is too icy.And goes down deep and stuff.
Another intelligent girl ( I wonder why Mr Brown loves idealism) is sent in the chilling winter so as to take a peek at that big rock(poor darling), she is our HERIONE. Now when she goes there, where some geeky people have set up the whole shabang, the warm Jacuzzi, a multi- cuisine restaurant, a pool table and ya the less important  Chota sa lab to do research on that rock.Considering it’s a research facility, its certainly well equipped.
Now, while people were just busy having their share of fun , some bad guys ( Can’t have a life without them,and also with them ;) ) who just did not enjoy such facilities and were somewhere   in a tent(in the killing cold), JASOOSING on these people ( Whether they were just being envy, or were actually serious is still a mystery). When the research is going all hay-wired and all the geniouses of earth are not able to figure out a tinne winnee thing, BANG , the Holiday resort turns into a Mortuary, in a watery massacre ( Read the damn book and you’ll understand why watery) our crew was hunted down, seems not everyone was a good swimmer,so not everyone survived(Acha hain, i didn like all of them, just too intelligent). Oops did i mention the Hero , he is some oceanologist thing ( the term maybe wrong, but you get the thing right??) we also have the chamcha (the spoon).
While they are just having an underwater dinner (our Crew), we have the highly paid boss, in his AC cabin with his secretary ( was it the secretary or somethinn else makin him sweat ;) ).And man, the secretary was damn hot, i mean i read the page with her description 5 times, Mr Brown indeed knows who to cast and who to kill ( the boring intellects).
Now, when we have a huge debate that whether the slimy creatures on the rock, are  the children of mother-earth, a drunkard’s imagination, or ET Species ( Extra Toasted ooopps again Terrestrial), the intelligent girl comes out with the best dialogue of the book , somethinn like ‘ Have you seen all the slimy creatures of the planet, its a big god damn planet you know, not your backyard’ (Ohk so not exactly that but …samajh lo yaar), Ha ,right back at you , what do you think now Mr I-Know-Everything.
As the story unfolds, and after the intelligent girl ( its too long to type, lets call her exhibit A) aka exhibit A spills the beans and lets them know the nation’s deep dark secrets (auright, its not some nex gen chocolate,bad girl) , they start seeing the bigger picture(  about time).
And down there, in the big city far far (far very far actually) from the action, the hot secretary ( lets remain with that, i don’t mind typing that..) is rocking the world with her right-back-at-you capabilities.
So, after they get over all the deceptions, the big villain uncle is weeping(awww poor kid,should’ve thought that earlier) in a dirty smelly jail for doing baddy baddy things and messing with the wrong people, the secretary with her unique and standing out TALENT is having a better time, and the HERO and HEROINE are back in the Jacuzzi.
And the lived or rather (…..) happily ever after.

P.S.: Just to let all of you know, the hot secretary was not the HEROINE, she cudve been if i were the author but i guess you always don get  what you want, maybe in AGLE JANAM, i suppose i’ll be the hero and shell be a the heroine( Courtsey Mr Dan Brown)

Digital Fortress : Encrypted Fantasy

Would really be a treat for all the techies out there

Would really be a treat for all the techie's out there

 
So now we move on to enter a world of Digital Mysteries. I wonder that even this book could’ve been called The Da Vinci Code,but i guess that’z me, although the book deals more seriously with Cryptic codes and stuff but i guess if Mr Brown want’s a fortress, he gets one.
A fortress is not to be taken in the literal way, we dont want people to say in the end ‘ Lee No Fortress, i want my money back’.(Bad Joke i know).
I read the book quite late, when all the Vatican people ( came to know who they are after the Da Vince Code) debated all night about the Release of the Movies, due to which the movie recieved the  much neede hype, and in HINDUSTAN ,JO DIKHTA HAIN, WO BIKHTA HAIN, the Da Vinci Code posters were all over the news, our responsibe and very busy Mass Media who has all the time in the world, for covering all the things in world , worked more than the Movie Trailors. If you can make them curious, they’ll go for it,and if you dont, sell the Movie tickets cheap, then the halls would be flooded with from people ;)
Now, the book has this extremely pretty , intelligent, calm, witty(at times) girl who can be termed as our HERIONE ( the girls in NOVELS can be as IDEAL as having a corruption free state). At the age when we were playing Super Mario and Contra, she was breaking codes and all.
Its interesting to know how somebody like her can do all that!!!!(OOps not further, i forgot no Censor board for the Blogs)
So she works for the NSA ( US wala yaar) in the Cryptographic Department,she’s actually the head.you know after reading the book i started to learn cryptography, bought at expensive book, made up mind that ‘ This time toh i’ll Pakka complete it’ and got as far as the Introduction and I am still looking for the book ( I wonder where i kept it). We also have our HERO, this tough many language dude who can speak a lot of languages ( ohhh thaz why he can sweet talk her into everything!!!) and our HERIONE is really impressed by him. Now when she was planning for a romantic night ( now hold your horses right there) TRING TRING !!!! and she’s in her office on a holiday( So much for romantic evening near the fire place honey). Now as a government employee that can only happen in the US, or rather anywhere outside HINDUSTAN, but its bad to comment on our very own, hard working, devoted,loyal, professional good old BABU’s who work day and night and can be given the sole credit of taking our Democratic Nation where it is today.  ‘Good work fellas, keep sippin the CHAI’s and STUFFING the SAMOSAS’. Mr Brown has not let the US down, and helped it to keep up with it’s reputation of surpsing us once again with it’s technical developments.I wonder if there’s a book on Indian dishes, should just send them to Mr Obama with note ‘ Take this for Innovation Mr, Your 20 Burgers and our one WADDA GlASS LASSSI and ALOO PARANTHA Ha’. People at the NSA have this big set of chips and wires and stuff in their Air Conditioned garage, just to keep it cool. Obviously if i would breaking a Million Codes a second, i’ll sweat to death without the THANDA. And then there’s this person, who built the damn thing ( and he wasnt a GORA you know !!!), wanted the AAM JANTA of the US to know about it, but the big bull didnt, so  he took charge, did some bad things, initiated a recursive procedure , and dies.
Now..how to stop it remains the question. Remember our HERO, he plays the hero, goes out of town on a sponsored trip or rather an adventerous vacation. But like always we have a slimy,dirty, high techie thug who’s on a killing spree and hired by some bull at the top.
Don’t think its only the HERO who’ running around, our pretty girl is having her share of ups and downs.
And filled with some funny moments is a story with every Indian Masala, the suspense, the Murder, the big bad boss, the cute pretty girl, the paid thug, foreign locations, side actors who try to make their presence felt, and ya our Bad Boy, the villain uncle.
I would recommend as a must have ( also a must read), not a good gift for your girl friend though, she may not like it.
Try Gifting her Twilight, shell love u till eternity.
And if you don want that( I wonder why), then don’t gift her anything my friend and she’ll love you only till the chosen one (the one does gift her Twilight) come in her life
