| Books and Retirements | |
| Mila 18 is one of the most marvellous books I have read in a while. Set in the Warsaw Ghetto, it is an engaging story of Jews standing up to the Nazis. Leon Uris describes in a compelling fashion the trials of the Jews as they withstood the onslaught of heavily armed Nazi attacks with their ragged armies formed by ordinary people. With extreme dete...

| Triple Turkish Delight for Massa | |
| Felipe Massa drove his Ferrari to victory from pole, claiming his third straight win at the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul. The race was evidently not as comfortable as he would have liked it to be, with Lewis Hamilton breathing down his neck during the opening laps, and overtaking him at one stage for the lead. Hamilton's three pit-stop strategy, ...

| Ah! Back in fairytale Europe. Somehow, there is nothing quite like looking forward to a Sunday evening of F1, and the spectacular European circuits nestled among mountains really add to the sheen of the sport.Home hero Fernando Alonso flattered to deceive as Finland’s Iceman Kimi Raikkonen drove to victory from pole at the Spanish Grand Prix.

| Mandira’s saree misadventures, noodle straps and lack of cricket sense are history. When it comes to talking of women in cricket, the focus has shifted to the cheerleaders in their obscene, skimpy, indecent, unacceptable (feel free to add to the list) attire, and their (repeat list of adjectives) dance moves. So now we have politicians butting thei...

| Spiritual Intrigue | |
| Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda’s description of the life and trials of a yogi, has been a rather intriguing read. While I knew I’d come across some ideas that I wouldn’t be totally inclined to believe, I tried to read the book with an open mind. There is definitely a lot to be learnt from it. Sometimes, when religion and the existen...

Okay, I’m not complaining, but sometimes you just feel that way when you have plenty of time on your hands.

| Close To Reality- The Zahir | |
| What does Paulo Coelho do that no other writer I’ve read seems to have done? He raises the questions that are always at the back of our mind but never spoken about, for fear of derision and embarrassment, or out of plain timidity. His books are always extremely compelling and realistic, and each book of his that I read is memorable in its own way.I...

| Shashi Tharoor's Fascination | |
| When Shashi Tharoor runs out of ideas, he gets down to writer bashing. I don’t read his column regularly, but on two occasions, I have seen him get rather critical of a couple of the finest writers the world has known.Yesterday’s (April 13) Hindu Sunday Magazine carried a column by Tharoor, in which he has denounced the importance given to Rudyard ...

| Beginning a new book is like going on a journey. The actual reading is preceded by days of longing, anticipation and excitement. I plan, I contemplate, I dig through all my unread books, quite making up my mind that this is the book I’m going to read next, and I let my anticipation rise accordingly. Then, all of a sudden, my eyes fall on another bo...

Sunrise- I am dead!
