So, I had a meme few days back from Madhuri. The electricity dripped in the ITB today, and I returned home to write this. The first 15 books I can think of, in 15 minutes, that will always be within me.
To them I tag a word -
A word that reminds me of that book.
Thus, the 15.
- Relationships – Of Human Bondage, Maugham.
- Sarcasm - Cakes and Ale, Maugham.
- Spirituality – Razor’s Edge, Maugham.
- Victims – All quiet on the Western Front, Remarque.
- Freedom – Mother, Gorky – Freedom
- Dreams – The Alchemist, Coelho – Dreams
- Love – A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway – Love.
- Power – The Godfather, Puzo – Power
- Catcher in the Rye
- Savor – The Prophet, Gibran
- Wisdom - Theater, Maugham -
- Expression – My Name is Red, Pamuk
- Innocence – The Curious incident of the dog in the night time, Mark Haddon
- Growing-up – To kill a Mocking Bird, Lee
- Disgrace – The Disgrace, Coetzee
And it makes me feel stale. Last one I read was Scarlet Letter.
To friends that I pass this meme,
shall list those 15 they can think of in 15 minutes,
tagged by a single word
For all of their wisdom.
or None.
Lost.

Let me begin by admitting that this show has been driving me nuts, bewildered, and is the only one ever I am absolutely hooked with. It is the only series that keeps me waiting for the entire week for a new episode, and an entire year for a new season. Fifth season of this series was aired only three episodes back. Let me say, the only way to catch up with this show is to watch it from Season One, and to watch it in high definition. It is a show that has the ability to get yourself in front of the television with each passing episode. It has love, romance, thrill, adventure, mystery, science, faith…and it is no nonsense. It is very rare for show to be so outstanding even in its fifth season.
So, what is this show all about ?
The Buffalo Soldiers
Posted by: Shefali on: October 24, 2008
Buffalo Soldiers is a dark comedy about America troops stationed in Germany. This reminds me of the setup make in Puzo’s book “The Dark Arena”. I have to admit that I am liking Joaquin Phoenix despite that twitch on his face. Read the rest of this entry »
The Life of David Gale
Posted by: Shefali on: October 24, 2008
Over the last weekend, I laid my hands on my room-mate’s DVD collection. Out of the 2 movies I find worth writing about, this is on the top of the list. The Life of David Gale is almost half a decade old movie. It is thrilling without any violence, shocking, disturbing, and definitely not a stereotype. Read the rest of this entry »
what is this about ?

There is no such thing as made for each other, rather we make ourselves for each other.
Feeling strong and not loosing hope is more important than being in them. Take time to write your words. While you can always add one in, you cannot take one out. Perfection is hard, but not trying to acheive one is not feeling strong enough or hopeful enough. Such a futile effort is better not acheived. More you make yourself more they ask for it. I know that Oak tree is great in itself.
And, I took my time to write my words.

- Shiva: I haven't read many in this list, but no surprise at all that Maugham features prominently... :)
- Madhuri: Ok, Somehow, I completely skipped this post. You haven't been writing (Why?) and I have not visited the blog in sometime. Thanks for doing the meme.
