Reading – Updates

Its been revelation for me when it comes to my reading habits. Post-“Karna” scholarship interview I have tried my best to read the books as much as possible. I guess my biggest problem with reading is that once I start reading a book, I really cant put it down. It’s a problem because its not necessary if it is a academic book or a novel, I still read it with the same intent. And when there are exams coming this habit is sometimes dangerous.

Recently read a marathi book called “Dharmananda” by Jaywant Dalavi. Not at all a good book. I kept reading the book expecting that some of the parts kept secret would explained properly at the end. But, really it wasnt worth the time I spent on it. 2 days to be precise. Now, my brother has taken Aravinda Adiga’s “The White Tiger” from his friend. He is reading it now. Lets see when I do I get my hands on the book, though I wont be able to read it in next week as my JMET is lined up. Damn these MBA entrances…

"White Tiger" pretty much follows arundhati's way of story telling... and not a very captivating story really...

Though I hvnt read any book by arundhati, I do agree that "white tiger" isnt as captivating as it hailed to be.

I too didn't much like Arundhati's way of storytelling and even the plot of 'The God of small things'...

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

Marathi Manoos

I read the following article in Mint yesterday. http://www.livemint.com/Articles/2010/02/19213129/The-Thackerays8217-primitiv.html I was shocked by the bias shown by the author against the Marathis. I completely agreed with him when he talks about Sena. Both Shivsena and MNS have done more damage to Marathis than they have helped. Their methods have been of violence and oppression. May it be Shiv Sena’s reaction to racists attacks in Australia or the MNIK controversy, common man is the one who usually suffers. But the author then checks the list of 30 companies in BSE and 50 in NSE, to prove that there are no Marathi person “owning” a company and goes on to say - “ The Mumbai Marathi, better at renaming things than building something himself”. Then he says - If we observe Marathi society we notice the total absence of mercantile castes. Into this space the British imported the multi-religious trading community of Surat—Vohra, Khoja, Luhana, Memon, Jain, Parsi and Vaniya. The...
