Book Blitz The Secret of God’s Son by Usha Shankar Blurb: The Secret of God’s Son - ‘The seas will devour the glorious city of Dwarka.   People will forget your name and your Gita.  May the world perish!  May the world perish!’ With this cruel curse on Krishna, Queen Gandhari plunges mankind into the unspeakable evil of the Kali Yuga. It is up to Pradyumna to try and reverse the dire prediction. To journey into terrifying realms, confront Yama and Shiva, and to vanquish the Kali demon. In order to do so, he must shed all that holds a mortal back—his arrogance, his fears, his baser instincts… He must lead his people out of the swirling vortex of greed, disease and misery. And there is one powerful weapon still…the secret surrounding Pradyumna’s origin. Will he uncover it in time to fight off the cataclysm?  In the answer lies the destiny of all humanity!

Who created the impressive Spanish Empire? How was it created? How was life during the Golden Age of Spain? All these boundless queries are answered in an interesting way by HENRY KAMEN in his book GOLDEN AGE SPAIN . Henry Kamen made a notable study and adverted that Spain alone neither created nor maintained the Grand Spanish Empire, which at its peak covered a third of the world, from the Netherlands to New Mexico. Spain didn’t even exist as a political entity until the eighteenth century rather just a mere association of states showcased itself as a grand empire. The Empire was not only a conglomeration of political states but also religious entities and this had influenced their literature over the years: “The coexistence of three major religions – Islam, Christianity and Judaism – in the peninsula for some seven centuries had a formative influence on the character of Spain and has coloured its literature and history.” Spain's empire-building started in 1492...

Don’t stop, don’t stumble Go on, be fast, Collect strewn coins and jewels A dream run that never ends But Beware! Behind you All along running on A monstrous haunt Ready to grasp If u stop but for once Stopped and wonder Why do I love? A non-stop running game. Are we not running through? The hollow lively grey In life don’t we go on? Running non stop From the devilish being Called time Who consumes us all Leaving nothing behind.

Ghost stories are meant for giving Goosebumps right? But “The Canterville Ghost” will rather make you laugh right from the start. This story clearly showcased Oscar Wilde’s satirical flavour. With an old country house and significant unfortunate tales narrated by Mr Canterville gave a perfect atmosphere for a gothic story at the beginning but all these were foiled by the materialistic and realistic approach of the American Otis family. The only thing that they seem to believe came out from the words of Mr Otis “ I have come from a modern country, where we have everything that money can buy ”. The first appearance of the 300 years old ghost was quite amusing: “Right in front of him he saw, in the wan moonlight, an old man of terrible aspect. His eyes were as red burning coals; long grey hair fell over his shoulders in matted coils; his garments, which were of antique cut, were soiled and ragged, and from his wrists and ankles hung heavy manacles and rusty gyves. “My dear sir...

Yet again another myth-historical master piece has escaped from the pen of India’s Tolkien. After the well scribed Shiva trilogy now Amish Tripathy presents to us the story of Ramchandra the great legendary emperor of Ayodhya. The story is based on one of the two great epics of the ancient/Vedic India. Yet again the unique ingredient is the amalgamation of fiction, Myth and history. The ideologies of masculine and feminine society and their pros and cons are being presented with clarity. The story is clearly based on the Great Vedic Epic ‘Ramayana’. Amish had refined the story with realistic historical & scientific data. But as expected the basic story is all but same. Ayodhya has been portrayed as “a civilisation in an advanced state of decay”.  It is weakened by divisions and corruption. To worsen the condition the defeat of Dasaratha, the emperor of Ayodhya to Ravana caused a steady decline in the empire’s economy. This 1 st instalment of this grand series showcases h...

Messiah, O Messiah Thou art my guide, the enlightenment of knowledge Your hands has saved me From the dense of danky You incarnate in so many visages To save one jour or the other To such a point from whence Single face does no more matter. Guidance gizmo and suggestion surreptitiously Of thine, come to quiz why You disappeared in this fugitive ply. Though, your agile absence bestir to its pallid presence Sacks of sagacity still pine for thy essence. Illuminate my orgiastic body of eclipse Resurrect again, not for mine, all evil memory to release.                                                 

Big Hero-6  The pot-bellied robot won it all Just saw Big Hero-6 again and couldn’t stop myself from scribbling down all that I feel about this jubilantly refreshing movie. The character seemed to be inspired from the Marvel comics still the Disney flair installed in it gave it a complete new look. From the nursery days I always have been a great zealot of the Disney productions. They with their colours and fantastic outputs have always nourished the dreamy minds. I think the first I saw when I was 4 and that was Aladdin, and still it’s my favourite. Always have adored Abu, the cute little monkey and can never forget Genie. To say the truth Baymax has reminded me of Genie. Though there is little similarity still I somehow feel him like the modern sci-fi Genie. The story though revolves round the 14 years old whizz-kid Hiro Hamada still Baymax the ten-foot-tall inflatable robot steals away my heart.  Even if the world at large is not quite congruous he is seen ef...
