SOULLESS by MV KASI BLURB They say when you take revenge you lose a part of your soul. But Sia hadn't felt her soul in a very long time. She only knew the soul-crushing fear and helplessness. Especially during the nights, when she fought an invisible enemy that terrorized her during the nightmares. Her days weren't any better either. She spent most of them trying to desperately gain control of her life while battling her various fears and addictions. She was only twenty three, but she had resigned herself to live the rest of her life that way. Fearing the unknown. Until it all changed one day. Now she knew. She knew that the monster from her nightmares was real. And also that her soul had been ripped apart from her. The memories had brought in fear, rage and pain, along with a strong craving for a swift payback. But revenge was a dish best served cold. And it required a complete absence of emotion. So now? Now...

Cyan buds of desire catapults into Dr. ‘Strange’ Entitlement Dr. Strange is the neoteric hot cake to merit the plaudit of Marvel Universe. The Marvel studio has contrived a pretty much threshold of well-turned story. And, indubitably, it has been levitated to serve a plenary visual treat in terms of distinguishable visual FX, cortege of fructuous imagery and Spartan spectacle even consanguineous cast by Marvelous unheralded concoction. This latest picture from the Marvel universe is not the demotic comic-book movie that fully justifies its reliance on CGI effects. Benedict Cumberbatch as anticipated (being the protagonist) pompously throbs everyone’s heart with his self-conceited élan. I could sense, like a doppelganger, Sherlockian self-condescend attitude with a tersed, witty limn and occasional funny bones.  Dr Strange after accident in hospital The movie opens with showcasing Stephen Strange as narcissistic Neurological surgeo...

Tolkien had created a great compelling world with a variety of intense characters. I met many of them for the first time in the "Lord of the Rings" series. Here there are far too many great characters to pen down.  The characters like Hurin and his son Turin, Beren and Luthian, the Valars, Feanor and not to  forget Morgoth or Melkor and his disciple Sauron are fantastically described and had been displayed in  all their flavors.  Mithrandir always has been my favorite and still it IMAGE by  http://greev.deviantart.com/art/Mithrandir-348547257 remains the same. Though I would love to read about all the characters far more than it is given here. These are only some of the immortal characters that one will come by in this book.   THE VALAR Photo source:  http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tumblr_n2cn1tJpre1s3svhbo1_1280.png The book gives us a rich set of tales that explain in minute details the mythology behind Tolkien’s fantasy w...

“ The formation of a diaspora could be articulated as the quintessential journey into becoming; a process marked by incessant regroupings, recreations, and reiteration. Together these stressed actions strive to open up new spaces of discursive and performative postcolonial consciousness. ”  ― Okwui Enwezor   (web) “Quest for Identity” or “Roots” marks the Diasporic fiction. While major concerns of the most diasporic writers are fractured and fluid nature of individual identities they also points out the differences in exploring how new and old generation Diasporas relate to their land of origin and the host culture. Due to the displacement, Diaspora’s quest for identity, a sense of inability to belong becomes all the more problematic and desperate. The rootlessness, coupled with the apathetic attitude of host culture sums up to the sense of otherness and alienation. If seen metaphysically human beings seem to be in eternal exiles. Human beings do not have a permane...
