A very interesting book I finished reading recently was Tahir Shah's "The Caliph's House". A personal account of a family's transplant from a first world country to Morocco albeit into an erstwhile Caliph's bungalow. A dilapidated bungalow that was past its prime is bought by Tahir and his wife Rachana and the book is the story of their year long struggle in getting it transformed into a livable

I recently finished reading Richard Dawkins' book 'The God Delusion'. I bought the book, at my local Costco after reading the back cover, which lead me to believe that the book would provide a set of logical explanations and conclusively prove that God does not exist. After finishing the book this is my take on it.Even though it tends to succeed in certain areas of the argument, I found the

Watching a movie... Nat King Cole was playing in the background... had to post thisWhen I fall in love it will be foreverOr I’ll never fall in loveIn a restless world like this isLove is ended before it’s begunAnd too many moonlight kissesSeem to cool in the warmth of the sunWhen I give my heart it will be completelyOr I’ll never give my heartAnd the moment I can feel that you feel that way tooIs

I remember reading Descartes in engineering school, wasn't crazy about him then. But I found a great online source for all classic books and have been reading some of them again.I think, therefore I am is an awesome concept. I think the myth of the Matrix can be debunked by this one principle of philosophy.I thence concluded that I was a substance whose whole essence or nature consists only in

Just ordered The world is Flat and The Lexus and the Olive Tree. If you read the New York Times you'll know who Thomas Friedmann is. Will post my thoughts once I start reading them.He also wrote a series of articles while travelling around the globe after September 11, 2001. One of his stops was Bangalore, India and he wrote an intersting series of columns about how the two India's are trying to

Just finished reading Engaging India by Strobe Talbott. After reading this book, I will never ever complain or crib that the United States always sides with Pakistan in this little street fight we call 'Indo-Pak Tensions'. Strobe categorically talks about how the pakistanis use every trick in the book to extract benefits from the US. He compares them to a New York mugger who instead of holding

Here's a poetry of mine that I pulled out of the covers while digging through my piles of written material.All reminds me of home!Author : KarmayogiThose fresh grown tomatoes, mom's kitchen patch.That little culvert, was my imaginary brookThe coconut tree, stout unlike any I've ever seen;Cobbles under the washline laid by dad and me.All remind me of home. Home sweet home.The moss on the rain
