I was not barking up the wrong tree. It is the first novel Of Jeffrey Archer. After a long time I read an English novel. I was into Kafkaesque kind of readings for sometime and I was like a cat on a hot tin roof in recent times. There were moments in this novel which gave me heebie-jeebies. I just managed to complete this standing on my head.
I was told that Archer almost had this kind of bankrupt situation in his life and it was the inspiration. I just wonder how come anyone can think of writing a novel when he was bankrupted. What Next ? I picked Kane and Abel this time. I just think whether that I can finish this soon.
After a long time we are planning for a stag party. Believe me, it is not a storm in a teacup and we are not lackadaisical either this time. Wait for updates dude…

Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna - The Infinite Revolutionary
For a long time man has been trying to free himself from alienation through culture and art...

The revolution is made through man, but man must forge his revolutionary spirit day by day.

Many will call me an adventurer — and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

The wave of anger, of demands for justice, of claims for rights trampled underfoot, which is beginning to sweep the lands of Latin America, will not stop. That wave will swell with every passing day.
In a revolution, one triumphs or dies (if it is a true revolution).

Hasta la victoria siempre (Until the everlasting victory)

He vivido días magníficos (I have lived magnificent days)

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it
Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
This wave will swell with everyday that passes, this wave will no longer be stopped.
In our zeal as revolutionists we try to move ahead as fast as possible, clearing the way, but knowing we must draw our sustenance from the mass and that it can advance more rapidly only if we inspire it by our example...

At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
Silence is argument carried out by other means.

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.

I'm Here
I have lot to read but always have very less to write. I just finished reading S.Ramakrishnan's இலைகளை வியக்கும் மரம். It was like traveling from down earth to sun. I really don't know what else a good writer can write. He wrote about the old stories of the earth. I is believed that a monkey and crocodile story would be the oldest story fo the world. I just googled and got this picture.

What are the reactions from the stolen house people? You must read to know about that. They might not lock the house and the lights be switched on at that particular day after the stealing. We can see many people giving advices as how to find out the thief. The Poojas carried out in Ganges of Banaras. There are some strange Poojas involving dead bodies which will be illegally taken from Ganges. The reactions of a bachelor tenant in Chennai who is changing his house often. There are lot more stuff to take to our heart like Therukoothu, Jesus, city life od older days etc.
I fee that this is nothing to write home about. But i wanted to keep my blog alive :)

I read one more book named பூமியின் பாதி வயது by A.Muthulingam. He is a Srilankan Tamilian and now lives in Canada. I first read the article about this book in Thinnai by Jeyamohan. He was quoting the author as popular one and joining the list of Kalki and Sujatha. I felt is true to a very good extent. The book contains the list of essays which comprises of his thoughts, readings, experiences and translations etc. as he quotes in the index. The first article is about Deepa Metha's Water. He is very much critical on that film. He is quoting beautifully that the Water is not allowed to flow freely as it should be by its nature.
