Book: Revolution 2020

Yet another book from Chetan bhagat.This is the book which made me cry for a character from it. Yes, Gopal, this character moved my heart a lot.
The final decision he made was a selfless thing. The final question in the book was 'Who is the good person of the story?'. for me its undoubtedly Gopal. Though he is convinced with bribing for every possible thing, he finally decides to do something good for the indian society. About other characters of the book, well there is a girl vidhya, who is like jessi of Vinnai thaandi varuviya;) not sure of her own decisions. Poor girl i felt.
The narration of Gopal's times in training institute was boring and their chats over mail made me yawn.
But still the cause of the book reached me good enough.The problem like entrance exams and bribing prevails for decades. But sometimes solving a problem needs provoking the people here and there.
Bhagat did his part in reminding us about the thriving issue. Our part is to find a common solution sooner.

Book: shiva trilogy


My hearty congratulations to Amish for shiva trilogy. I should say we missed such a writer these many years. The best mythical book i have ever read.
It had suspense and break through in every page. The unveiling of lord Ganesha was tremendous. He has connected every mythical fact and the scientific advancements along with the philosophical touch.
His philosophical thoughts were amazing. I should quote," hate is not the exact opposite of love. It is love gone bad. Apathy is the opposite of love".
The second part of shiva trilogy,"secret of the nagas" was that much interesting that i read the complete book in three and half hours. It has morals, values, along with our myths.
The explanation for the classification of Devas and asuras was appreciable.
Now the sad part is I had to wait another year for the next part,"oath of vayuputras'.


Movie: MI-4

Yes, the first movie im gonna write about is 'mission impossible 4'.The movie is an ' on the edge of the seat' experience. i had a blast laughter when "easy to remember.. blue is glue, red is?.. , dead" and then when Jeremy Renner said " next time im gonna seduce the rich guy".
Then special mention is needed for the stunt performed on the 130th floor of Burj khalifa by Tom cruise. As always he was mind blowing.The sun rise in Mumbai has been picturesquely shot.
But still the goofs in the movie which i found are, caution was written in south indian script in the mumbai set, they put in new york.
Finally, ghost protocol is an awesome action movie. If you wanna watch something commercial this summer i suggest MI-4. In a south-indian way i should say ' masala padam'. lol
