The Dividing Line

And yet as Judy Brady says in " Why I Want a Wife"-- "My God, who wouldn't want a wife?"-In India "…I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs.I want a wife who will keep my house clean...I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook.I want a wife who will plan the menus,do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly,and then do the cleaning up...  ….. I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who makes sure that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it. I want a wife who assumes the complete responsibility for birth control, because I do not want more children. I want a wife who will remain sexually faithful to me so that I do not have to clutter up my intellectual life with jealousies. And I want a wife who understands that my sexual

WOLF'S RUN is one of the finest books in English Literature. The theme of the book is historical yet contemporary. The brutal violence of 1969, perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan is not one which can be confined to the limited framework of the 1960's but transcends time and place to evolve into the 21st century, with the new name tag--"terrorist organizations." The book signals change and hope for all the communities and nations in the world, if they would abolish hatred and work to unite into a single entity, based on tolerance and love. Louis Hillary Park's debut novel WOLF'S RUN should unquestionably be listed for the Booker Prize.

NEGLIGENCE - The price you would pay for your own negligence.    Robert Gregory Browne's "NEGLIGENCE" is like boarding a long distance bullet train. The events move at blinding speed. An absolute identification with the characters makes you encounter the thrill of adventure and mystery. The author explores and exposes the misadventure, death and murder of teenagers in an educational Academy. The steady degeneration of communication within families and neglect of children are cited as some of the root causes. After reading "NEGLIGENCE" you would be forced to embark on another journey, a slow one this time. An introspective journey into your own mind, analyzing what you did do/what you did not do /what you could have done /what you can do for your children. It's never too late to save your child from a disaster! It's more importantly a book for teenagers who throw caution to the winds and devastate their lives. http://www.amazon.com/Negligenc

"This House believes that Britain owes reparations to its former colonies ". "A speech that launched four million views,unleashing affirmative thoughts, in the minds of friend and foe;where ‘likes’ were strewn copiously, as leaves after a storm;when the world woke up to listen, to the clarion call at Oxford; the call for action and reparations." The speech went viral;the Indian social media rose up to applaud Dr. Tharoor and his skill to take on the British, while questioning the wisdom of their indescribable crimes.On hearing this speech, the majority of Indians spoke in a single voice, the voice of a magnanimous Nation! The motion for which he argued in the affirmative was: “This house believes Britain owes reparations to her former colonies.” Each of the statements he made was compelling. His argument was coated in wit. His rhetoric unsurpassed. With his uncommon gift of eloquence he crushed claims that colonialism was a blessing in disguise

An amazing story, Kanishk Tharoor’s 'Elephant at Sea' is the journey of an elephant - a gift for the princess of Morocco - from Kozhikode, Kerala to Rabat in Morocco. As the story advances, it transforms into a journey through the psyche of the elephant. It deals with the bigger issue, of relocation of the animal, from its natural habitat and its country; of loneliness, its love for water and the dream of lowering itself into mud at the end of the day. Nevertheless the animal adapts to its new environment, without protest. The consciousness of the loss of individuality does not daunt the elephant, which surrenders readily and ambitiously to a new lifestyle and a new identity. The love of water translates into a bigger dream - the mahout’s dream. The elephant on seeing its reflection in the pond yearns for the sea. Towards the end of the story, the mahout whispers to the elephant, to stop dreaming of home or of him… “dream of the sea, my life, dream of the sea”. When th
