I understood and felt that I was truly blessed in every way, when compared to the people I met during the next couple of days. Later, I even chided myself for being critical of the accommodation provided to us.<br>
<br>
When I now reflect on how and why my attitude towards life changed so
much, I realized that there was one particular incident affected me
deeply. It was when I met a poor widow of a farmer...<br>
<br>
During the week long trip,my classmates and I met several deprived people, with problems ranging from lack of access to education, improper health and sanitation to caste issues and domestic violence. Women trafficking and farmer suicides were the major problems in the area. All the villages that we visited comprised a majority of illiterate people, mainly artisans and farmers. While artisans were plagued with the issue of their dying art forms and did not know any other form of work, farmer suicides abounded due to the huge agricultural losses incurred in the barren lands that had scarce rainfall.<br>
<br>
Amongst the scores of people whom I met, the story of a middle-aged widow called Lakshminarasamma, touched my heart. This quote sums it up: <br>
<br>
<i><b>"...the misery is there inside her, like a stone, and there’s no room
for any other thoughts.." </b></i><br>
<i><b>–</b></i><b>Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer</b><br>
<br>
She was neck-deep in debt and struggled to make both ends meet. Her husband, a farmer, had committed suicide when faced with loss of crop yield, unable to pay his debts. These people led a life that was consumed by debt. They were born in debt, lived in debt and died in debt!<br>

Part 1<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.”</b></i></span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;">―<b> Ralph Waldo Emerson </b></span><br>
<br>
Each one of us, at some point of time, experience certain situations that change our attitude towards life. For me, there was one such incident that totally changed me from the inside out...<br>
<br>
While pursuing a post graduate diploma in journalism, I was required to undertake a week-long trip to 'cover deprivation'. All of us students were divided into several groups and sent to various parts of India that were socially and economically backward or faced some troubling issues. Upon our return, we were all expected to file news reports or feature stories based on what we witnessed during our field trip.<br>
<br>
I was part of the group that was sent to Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh. The trip was a life-changing experience for me. My sheltered upbringing did not prepare me for the harsh realities of life that I faced during those seven days.<br>

For those of you who aren't aware, the challenge is simply this: In a few minutes, without thinking, you have to list the top 10 books that stayed with you in some way, those which you love :) After that you have to tag ten of your friends to continue the chain.<br>
<br>
I got a chance to make my list, thanks to my friend Olympia who tagged me. And I decided to blog about the same, just because I want to share it with a wider audience. <br>
<br>
Before I list the books, I would like to mention that these books may not be literary masterpieces or impressive books. But they are all personal favourites that have touched my heart and stayed with me in some way. After each book in the list, I have included a description too! Here goes:<br>
<br>
1. <i><b>Harry Potter </b></i><b>series</b> by <b>J.K Rowling</b><br>
Simply the best books I've ever read so far in my life! No description needed. Enough said :)<br>
<br>
2. <b><i>The Witch of Portobello</i></b> by <b>Paulo Coelho</b><br>
A thought provoking book that showcases the personality of a woman as described by the perceptions of different people. Loved it.<br>
<br>
3. <b><i>Idle Hours</i></b> by <b>R.K Laxman</b><br>
Simple yet heartwarming writing makes this one delightful to read. It is a collection of short stories, anecdotes, travelogues and essays.<br>
<br>
4. <b><i>The Diary of a Young Girl</i></b> by <b>Anne Frank</b><br>
A touching and compelling tale that tugs at my heartstrings for the tragedy of it all.<br>
<br>
5. <i><b>Message in a bottle</b></i> by <b>Nicholas Sparks</b><br>
A story that speaks of love and loss, and of fate. I like it because I'm a romantic at heart!<br>

Well, the answer is quite simple. Every time I drink a cup of coffee, I feel super-charged. It makes me active and helps me out of energy slumps. I just love the beverage. Here are a few reasons-<br>
<ul>
<li>When I wake up in the morning, all it takes is just a teeny-weeny cup of coffee to rev up my internal engine. I go from groggy-eyed to bright-eyed in a matter of minutes!</li>
<li>When I'm working and my mind feels heavy, I just take a few sips of coffee and there I go- my brain goes to fast forward mode and I start afresh with renewed energy.</li>
<li>A steaming cup of coffee acts as a great companion when I curl up with a book and some snacks during rainy evenings.</li>
</ul>

</div>
<ul>
<li>Drinking coffee makes me feel good. Yes, it really does. When I'm feeling low or down in the dumps, I just make myself a cup of coffee. I sit in a comfy chair, just close my eyes and relish the beverage, focusing only on drinking it and soon I become oblivious to everything around me. It is a sensory journey that I undertake-I deeply inhale the aroma of coffee and imagine coffee beans in my mind's eye..Well, its a kind of meditation that I do. But the point is, at the end of my coffee-drinking, I feel much better- sadness vanquished.</li></ul><a href="http://dreamers-chronicles.blogspot.com/2014/10/coffee-powerful-beverage.html#more">Read more »</a>Deepzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05493271707571872730noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679488648578596104.post-72079835980904653012014-10-02T22:26:00.002+05:302014-10-04T21:39:35.283+05:30My first 55 fictionI have read many 55 fiction stories and wanted to try my hand at writing one. But I was somehow hesitant for a long time. Today, I finally decided to give it a shot. Here goes:<br />
<br />
<i>They exchanged rings as a mark of marital union. Her face glowed with happiness as she cherished the moment. Stretching out her hands to reach his, she touched something cold and hard. She opened her eyes to find her hands on the bedside alarm clock. Becoming his wife would always remain a dream for her.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Note: 55 fiction is basically a short story with exactly 55 words or less. Many people use surprise endings since the story is so short. For more info, check this<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drabble" target="_blank"> link</a>Deepzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05493271707571872730noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679488648578596104.post-64532897372041187972014-10-01T20:34:00.000+05:302014-10-02T20:45:20.385+05:30Physical versus digital books- My opinion<b><i>“A book, being a physical object, engenders a certain respect that zipping electrons cannot. Because you cannot turn a book off, because you have to hold it in your hands, because a book sits there, waiting for you, whether you think you want it or not, because of all these things, a book is a friend. It’s not just the content, but the physical being of a book that is there for you always and unconditionally.”</i>- Mo Willems</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Nothing can quite match the charm of a 'real' book, as opposed to its digital version. Reading physical books is a unique experience, a sensory journey of sorts..<br>
<br>
The rustle of pages in the wind, the enticing woody scent of paper, the printed word in all its splendour with the ink glistening in sunlight and the comfy feel of holding the book with both the hands; all these are part of the beautiful trip that you as a reader, take.<br>
<br>
When owned and loved, the book physically grows old with you; the much-turned pages are lightly folded at the edges, giving a feeling of familiarity. The paper gradually begins to possess a yellowing tinge, which brings in a touch of sadness. Some food or coffee stains remind you of the earlier times when the book was read.<br>
<br>
Sometimes, you tend to mark certain paragraphs in the book, to highlight the segments that you enjoyed, but you may also make notes in the margins, adding your thoughts, thereby personalizing the book. <br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Chapter 12: Of Worries
and Celebrations</u></span><br>
<br>
Two weeks ago...<br>
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Shekhar stood outside the emergency room of the hospital,
he was puzzled. He had recognized the bleeding man the instant he had looked at
him. Mr. Cyrus was the same man who had knocked on his doorstep a day ago and
then rushed away without explanation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The doctors had said that it would take an hour for them to
comment about the man’s condition. Hoping that the man would be alright,
Shekhar immersed himself in his thoughts.“There is something that the man wants
to tell me or my family. I wonder what it could be? Is it fate that we should
meet two days in a row? What is going on?” he wondered.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The buzz of his mobile phone disturbed Shekhar’s thoughts.
It was a message from Tara- ‘Im worried. Did you pick up Roohi? Why no intimation
from you? Meeting is still on, so text me your reply’.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shekhar texted her
back- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Aryan picked her up and Roohi is at
his home with his family. I couldn’t go as something cropped up. Relax, I will
fill you in on the details later.’<br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u> Chapter 8: C for Cyrus- coward and commitment phobic</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Cyrus stared at the woman before him, he couldn’t hide
his surprise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Jennifer, but she
looked totally different, even more beautiful than she had been before. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His eyes became moist and he struggled with
his emotions. Unable to utter a single word, he just stood there, opening and
closing his mouth like a goldfish. But within his brain, the memories were
travelling fast, back to the time when he had left Kerala…and Jennifer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
***</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Nine years ago- Cyrus)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back in his hostel room, Cyrus quickly called up a cab to
take him to the airport. Piling all his stuff into his bag, he grabbed a quick
bite and ran to the cab, not informing anyone that he was leaving. His main aim
was to get out of Kottayam as soon as possible. During the 90km ride to Cochin
airport, Cyrus’s thoughts were focused on one thing- ‘Forget the past and move
on’. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back in Delhi, Cyrus played his emotional cards well and
convinced his parents that he was severely homesick. Being a pampered and only
son of affluent parents had its benefits and they let him stay at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the next year, Cyrus stayed at home, spending his time
aimlessly. He could never forget Jennifer and the time he had spent with her.
“She was a true beauty, with her casual dressing and rebellious attitude. She
cared a lot about me. But I couldn’t be with her,” he often thought to himself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She had texted and called him repeatedly in the first month
after he had returned to Delhi, but he had ignored her and changed his simcard.
She then took to emailing him, but he ignored the emails and opened a new
account. He also deleted all the other traces of his life in Kerala. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cyrus knew that he had liked being with Jenny and had a
strong attraction for her, but he was also aware that his parents would never
accept a free spirited girl like her. Moreover, he wasn’t interested in a
serious relationship. Watching his parents quarrel everyday had turned him into
a commitment phobic man who wanted to live life without any shackles.<br>

Here is my post-<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Chapter 7: Meeting after nine years</u></span><br>
<br>
As she stood behind the mesh-fence of the school, Jennifer
reflected on her past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leaving her new
born infant at the doors of the adoption agency had been the toughest decision
she had made in her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was
fate. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As an 18-year old unwed girl
disowned by her family, she had been left with no choice. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though the act of abandoning her baby was a
rational one, the emotional part of her being gave her hell. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not a single moment of her life had been spent
without thinking of her child.<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The little one had dominated Jennifer’s mind at every point
of her life in the past nine years. And everytime she thought of her child, she
was also reminded of the one who was the reason for the child’s existence.
Cyrus..he was her first love. She could never forget him, ever. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though she was now happily married now with a loving
husband, Jennifer knew she would always remember Cyrus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though he had abandoned her after that one
night of physical intimacy, Cyrus would always reside in a corner in the
deepest recess of her heart. Jennifer could not bring herself to hate him, in spite
of what had happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cyrus’s cowardly act had transformed Jennifer from the
inside out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the years, she had
metamorphosed from a rebellious and outspoken teenager to a soft-spoken and
gracious woman. Her short and unruly locks were tamed to flow long and
beautiful, always neatly plaited. Shorts, tees and accessories that had filled
her wardrobe were replaced by elegant sarees and salwars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People found it hard to believe that she was
a journalist, as Jennifer broke all stereotypes about her job.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even today, she remembered everything like it had happened
yesterday, a bitter thanks to her photographic memory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She remembered the look on his face, on the morning after
they had made love. Beads of sweat lined his forehead and his hands were
trembling. She remembered holding them softly with her own hands and showing
him the tattoo in the shape of ‘C’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cyrus
had not been soothed by her calm talk. He had stood up, picked his stuff and
left her house abruptly. She remembered running after him to her doorstep and
calling out his name- “Cyrus! Cyrus!! Cy…Wait..!!!” Ignoring her repeated
calls, he had walked quickly out of sight. That was the last time she had seen
him…</div>

<b>Title:</b> Private India<br>
<b>Authors:</b> Ashwin Sanghi and James Patterson<br>
<b>Genre:</b> Crime Fiction<br>
<br>
What can one expect when two acclaimed authors join hands? A masterpiece that is filled with the best of both their skills. With <i>Private India</i>, James Patterson and Ashwin Sanghi have given us a brilliant story that does not disappoint.<br>
<br>
<b>The Plot</b><br>
<br>
A serial killer is on the loose in Mumbai and it is upto Private India, an investigation agency, to try and prevent the murders and nab the culprit. <b> </b><br>
Apparently unconnected women are killed, strangled with a yellow cloth. Strange objects are placed with the corpses and these puzzle the investigators. As the bodies begin to pile up in quick succession, it is a race against time before the case is cracked.<br>
But it does not end there. Yet another danger is imminent and this time, the lives of thousands of innocent Mumbai citizens are at stake...<br>

But in the race to become healthy ,we are ignoring some basic health needs.<br>
The so called 'health gurus' advocate strange things.<br>
"Avoid rice completely," says one.<br>
"Don't use oil," says another.<br>
<br>
Has anyone given a thought to what our ancestors ate? They were never crazy about eating raw food, but always ate variety of dishes, including pulses and oil. They were healthy and definitely lived longer. They also did a lot of physical activity which helped them maintain good health.<br>
<br>
So they key to healthy living is simple-
Choose different kinds of food that provides you with a variety of nutrients, consume it in moderation and exercise daily!<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You just need to remember the healthy eating pyramid and choose foods accordingly- </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tip: Remember to use healthy cooking oil like rice bran oil in your dishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My personal favourite is<b> Fortune Rice Bran Health</b>. It is the healthiest oil on the planet! It contains valuable nutrients like Tocotrienol (a very powerful Vitamin-E), skin-friendly compound Squalene and above all the amazingly heart-friendly Oryzanol. Rice Bran Oil also has the highest cholesterol lowering property amongst all the common edible vegetable oils.</div>

On this note, I would like to share my signature healthy recipe made using <b>Fortune Rice Bran Health</b>- </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a South Indian dish 'Sattunavu' which literally translates to 'strength food'. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Title: </b>The Bankster </span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Author:</b> <a href="http://www.ravisubramanian.in/index.asp" target="_blank">Ravi Subramanian</a></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Genre: </b>Crime Fiction</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ravi Subramanian is the author of four successful books about the banking industry and the recipient of the Golden Quill Book award. Being called 'the John Grisham of Banking' by <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> is no mean feat and that raised my expectations about the book.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Plot</span></b> </span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A CIA agent exchanges weapons for diamonds - in Angola, South Africa. </span></i><br>
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An old man protests against the commissioning of a nuclear plant - in Devikulam, Kerala</span></i><br>
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A series of employee deaths shatter the peace in an international bank - in Mumbai</span></i><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is the link between these three seemingly unrelated events? That is what 'The Bankster' is all about. </span><br>

In these cold months, dry and lifeless hair is a common complaint cited by many.<br><br>Dry hair can result from external factors, such as exposure to harsh chemicals, or from internal causes, such as an illness.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br><b>How to care for your hair</b><br><br>Follow these simple tips to have soft and shiny hair:<br><br><u>Cover your hair</u><br><br>Always wear a scarf, hat or cap when you step out, to protect your hair from the cold. Make sure that it's not so tight that it will restrict circulation in your scalp.<br><br><u>Treat your hair</u> <br><br>Opt for an oil massage thrice a week, to nourish your hair. Massaging warm oil on to the scalp will help avoid dryness in the scalp. Similarly, a hair spa can also do wonders to your hair- it has the dual benefit of pampering your hair and making you stress free!</span><br>

Shiju Abdul Basheer had gone to the restaurant to dine with
his family. When his wife cut a piece of fiery chicken to feed their daughter,
she found live worms wriggling in it. The restaurant staff apologized and
offered to replace the dish. But when Basheer refused, they tried to take it
away forcibly. The other customers came to his aid and alerted the police as
well as the Food Safety Authority. </div>

He may wear it ironed, let it rumple or fold it above his knees, but a man always takes pride in his veshti. This unstitched traditional garment is something men still love to wear. </span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br>“It is the traditional attire of South Indians, especially Tamilians and Keralites. Care and effort have to be taken to preserve the traditional garment, but equal efforts have to be made to keep the veshti from falling from the hips,” said Muralidharan (53), a marketing manager. He added that he continued to wear the veshti because he found it airy and convenient.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br>Not just older men, but even today’s youngsters like the veshti for its multifaceted nature.<br>Balasubramaniyan (24), a student, felt that the veshti was the most comfortable garment for men. “It has many uses. Sometimes when I have to walk in slush, I fold it up to my knees and ensure that it doesn’t get soiled. When I feel cold at night, I use my veshti as a <i>porvai</i> (blanket) too,” he added.</span></span><br>

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was the break of dawn; a time of rest and slumber for the people in the small town. But not for the lone young woman who was in the throes of pain. Labour pains had begun more than twelve hours ago, but had yet to cease. Beads of sweat lined the forehead of the gynaecologist in charge. This was not just another delivery, for it was her daughter who lay on the operation table. She prayed for the umpteenth time and chided herself for daring to oversee her own daughter’s delivery. Her fear for her delicate daughter’s well being had made her take that decision but now she regretted it. Waiting outside the operation theatre would have been a better and rational choice.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Finally at 4:30 am, the event occurred. A bawling, red faced infant came out of the struggling mother. All that the woman saw was a head full of hair, before she fainted. As the proud grandmother nestled the baby in her arms, she heaved a sigh of relief. And that was how I entered the world.</span></span><br>

They are located in the Araku valley of the Ananthagiri hills in the Eastern Ghats of India. Nestled among gentle, sloping hills, at an elevation of 2313 feet, Borra caves are a picture of mystery and beauty. Measuring up to 100 m horizontally and 75 m vertically at the entrance, these are few of the largest and deepest caves in India. The caves stretch for about 200 m into the hills.<br><br>Discovered in 1807 by a British geologist, William King, these natural caves were supposedly formed by the pressure exerted by the Gosthani river on the hills. The river now flows through the caves.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br>I pay a visit to the caves in the humid month of May, and am told that the ideal months for the trip are November and December. <span style="font-size: small;">Yet,</span> the place is swarming with tourists.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br><b>Year : 2100</b></span></span>
<br>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br>As I frantically searched for my old books in the attic, I stumbled upon a small wooden box. Strangely enough, I hadn't noticed it before. Curiosity got the better of me and I dusted the box lightly before I pried it open. It contained a single photograph placed on a velvet cloth. I picked it up to get a better look.</span></span>
<br>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br>Yellow with age, the photograph was reminiscent of good old times. As it nestled in my palms, I couldn't help but stare at the people in it. What struck me was the happiness that radiated from within them.The family of six stood huddled in a semi circle of sorts as they posed for a picture. Misty mountains and green forests could be seen in the backdrop, which added beauty to the scene.</span></span>

<br>
The rooster crowed loudly, indicating the onset of morning. This was a cue for the residents of the neighbourhood, who were instantly up and about. The sound of <i>suprabathams</i> soon filled the air and beautiful <i>kolams</i> decorated the street. A bright, sunny day dawned.<br>
<br>
In a short while, motorists were battling for space with pedestrians as there was no pavement. Moreover, roadside vendors occupied most of the space in the narrow street. Women in cotton sarees and flowers in their hair could be seen bargaining with the vegetable vendors. Men in formals sped away on their motorbikes. School children chatted nineteen to a dozen as they waited for the bus. Noise, chaos and commotion prevailed everywhere. The scene on the busy street was a sight to behold.<br>

As the hours ticked away, darkness descended and street lights sprang to life.<br>

The train sped away towards its destination. It carried numerous passengers bound on their daily commute. The general compartment of the train was nearly full as people of different heights,shapes, and sizes filled the place.<br>
<br>
Each person was preoccupied with something or the other. A middle aged man was leaning on the rails of the window, as he watched the sights and sounds of the city outside. A group of boys were ogling at an attractively dressed girl, who chose to ignore them. A young woman, wearing a burkha, seemed to be lost in thought. Another woman, dressed in a saree was chatting away on her mobile phone. A bespectacled young man, had earphones on as he observed everyone in the compartment. A frail old man sat in a corner with his head between his hands. All of them were strangers, yet huddled together in a single compartment as one, united in their journey.<br>

<br>
The clock struck twelve and I shivered involuntarily, regretting my decision to take the shortcut home. The deserted, narrow, winding path seemed to stretch on for eternity. The trees that lined it were dark and forbidding and there was not a soul in sight. The street lights, which were few and dim, only added to the gloom.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
A gentle breeze blew, making the leaves on the trees rustle. The sight looked eerie in the semi-darkness. The sudden hooting of an owl startled me and I felt lonely and frightened. The strange sounds made by the insects made my heart beat madly in my chest.<br>

I always wanted to be a writer and was interested in pursuing journalism, but it was only this year that I finally got to realize my dream.<br>
<br>
Be it for a class assignment or as a hobby, writing is something I have always loved. I enjoy writing in my journal and make it a point to do so as frequently as my schedule permits. I'm also in the process of writing a novel. I have just begun and am trying to find my way around the story. But nonetheless, I'm happy to have atleast started! Occasionally I write small articles too and sometimes even post them in my blog. I was lucky enough to have a couple of my articles and/or reviews published in a regional newspaper, but that's just about how far I have come in this field.<br>

The above excerpt from <i>Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone </i>talks of a strange inscription on a mirror. When you first read it, the sentence doesn't make sense. But when read backwards, the message it conveys is simple:<b> I show not your face but your heart's desire</b>.<br>
<br>
This sentence got me thinking. I realized that by using that sentence, the author J.K Rowling teaches us motivation. We should not dwell on dreams alone, but strive hard to achieve our heart's desire. As Dumbledore (in <i>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)</i> says, <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to
live."</span></span><br>

"Why would anyone write a book about a slum?," was the first thought that popped into my head when I came across this book in BlogAdda's book reviews program. I was hardly interested in reading the book. But sometime later, it was out of sheer curiosity that I Googled Rashmi Bansal. I learnt that she is the author of three bestsellers, with 'Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish' being the most popular of them all.Critics were all praise for her and I was intrigued. I was eager to know what all the fuss was about. I immediately applied for the book in BlogAdda.<br>
<br>
And after reading it, I am happy to say that I've become a fan of Rashmi Bansal! I've also learnt two lessons:<br>
<ol>
<li>Never judge a book based on its genre</li>
<li>Do not be prejudiced</li>
</ol>
<i>"Dharavi is an elephant of an issue with blind men scrambling all over it. Each sees a small part of the picture and considers it to be a whole." </i><br>
<br>
This is how 'Poor Little Rich Slum' begins. It is Rashmi Bansal's fourth book- an extraordinary take on an extraordinary slum!<br>

"Do you know? The latest trend on the internet is something called facebook. Have you joined it? It is amazing," my friend told me. I was curious and decided to check out the website. I joined it and the rest is history. Things have never quite been the same since then.</div>

'facebook' hardly needs an introduction. It is currently the most popular social networking website on the internet. Every Ram, Rahul and Rahim is on facebook. We are all hooked to the website and not a day is spent without logging in to 'check for updates'. Our parents and relatives are out there too. Will you accept their friend requests or face the music for being secretive? The choice is yours..</div>

facebook helps you connect with the people in your life. But it doesn't end there. There are a lot of ways in which people use facebook, also lovingly referred to as fb or FB:<br>
