My Song

If you please, sing my song.

Sing it loud, even wrong.

Make it heard, even Ceylon.

But sing my song, do sing my song.

Book Review (Shutter Island - Dennis Lehane)

You like watching vivid scenes unruffle? You like letting go of self control? you love the the freezing sensation that delicately rides up your spine...causing every strand of hair on your body stand straight? Do you like being terrified beyond your understanding of terror?

Have you ever tried to imagine what goes on in the mind of a lunatic? A mind thats million times sharper than yours but doesn't work the way yours does?

Wondered how it feels to be shackled up in a straight jacket? Your body contained, your mind intimidated? Have you ever felt yourself yell about how society restrains you from doing what you best do? Like me, do you think everyone around you is crazy for looking at you the way they do?

The answers to all those questions are in that book. read it and then read it again. F**king insane as hell! 5 stars all the way.

The movie was good. The book is way better!

Book Review (We The Living - Ayn Rand)

Very, Very deep. Gives the reader a vivid vision of USSR. Almost draws you into the midst of the struggle of the individual against the state. Makes you look at life here and now in a whole new light and to be thankful for the freedom you have.

Democracy might have its kinks, but read this book to realise how fortunate you are to be living in a democratic country. To realise how lucky you are to actually say no to a second helping of potatoes, yes potatoes, at dinner.

Both Leo and Andre are admirable characters in the novel. As usual Ayn Rand has crafted perfect beings, god like even, with these two characters. Kira, is no less intimidating either. the only thing I didnt like, or rather can't understand, is why Ayn Rand makes all her women adulterous. And why the men are always so naive to not know that their women are cheating on them until the very end.

Apart from that issue, this is one of the greatest works of Ayn Rand. A must for die hard fans and the uninitiated as well.

The Me II

I am potent whiskey

In a plain old jar.

Risk a swig of me

If you're at the bar.

A little hard to swallow,

I might be at start.

But once you've had a taste,

You'll want the scar.

The Me

I won’t change my name,
I won’t change my game.
If I could do it all over again,
It would turn out just the same.
I’d speak the same words,
I’d repeat the mistakes.
I’d even go so far,
To earn the exact blames.
It’s who I am,
And what I was born to be.
Why then must I try,
To be anyone but me?

Book Review (Bitten - Kelley Armstrong)

Contrary to what reviews say, to me, Armstrong has not done for werewolves what Rice did for vampires. The storyline is very predictable with unnecessary twists thrown in for the sake of lengthening a story that shouldn't have gone beyond the 10th page.

Armstrong delves too long in painting out everyday situations and spur of the moment incidents, that need not be explained. What I really hated were the overtly lengthy, uninteresting 'runs'. Not to mention the cold love making scenes, a failed attempt at spicing up a bland story.

Being her first effort, I think there is a lot left to be desired when it comes to style of storytelling.

The editing is also somewhat shallow. I understand that authors are reluctant to give up even a single word they've written, but that’s where the editor has to step in and help make the flow tighter.

I am yet to complete the book. I am hoping the climax will save Armstrong from being written off as a ‘me too’ writer.

Overall, very amateur! Skip if you’re over 16 years old.

Cry

I see them stars

Like they was from mars

I see them flaming

Like rage unchanging

I feel the burns

Like hell descending

I feel the unending

Like in the beginning

It’s all so new

This pain is true

There’s no denying

That I love you

You’re devouring me

Like a piranha fleet

And all I feel is need

The need to lay and heed

You inescaple you

You undeniable hue

The coulors of destruction

The inevitable redemption

You cripple me like fire

Unplanned and undesired

But here you are

So near so far

I can’t see your starting point

All I feel is your taunt

Eternal and prevalent

Blazing and forever bent

I know I’ll never make it

My spirit knows you’ll break it

Today tomorrow the day after

There will never be rapture

I know I am dying for you

For you it’s been long due

So take it now and be done

Let us again be one

In death and afterlife

You’re the reason for my strife

I live I die I breathe for you

You’re the only reason I ever knew

To be continued…
