Interesting Irony

"My mother is a great believer of marriage. She has had four of them"


This is a line from one of the books I am reading now, 'Six Suspects' by Vikas Swaroop, the author of 'The Slumdog Millionaire'.



Though, I am a not a great fan of fiction, I find this read interesting or it is may be I am reading a book after a long time. I should really say, he writes well. His language is good.  The line above is from a character who is an American who is all excited to get married to an Indian girl. Sounds funny yet speaks profound of the belief of modern society. Are we really going to teach the next generation this way?

Bhakti rasa and song about death

Just listen to this lovely song by MS Subbalakshmi. She is a legend and the Bhakti rasa in this song is unmatchable. Click Here

Another song which I was looking up on internet and finally found it (Thanks to Harsha). It is a song about death and the inevitability of it. Brilliant composition and well sung. Watch here
