"Close Encounters of the Smelly Kind"

My encounter with smelly kind is about one of my cousins. It happened last January. It was as usual chilling winter. We all were travelling to Rajkot for my cousin sister’s wedding. We were twenty people in two cars. We were singing songs and enjoying a lot. We had divided elders and youngsters in two cars, all youngsters were in one car, but one of our cousin was in elder’s car. We stopped at one dhaba as everyone was damn tired due to continuous journey, so everyone was in mood of having some rest and garmagaram desi khana . We enjoyed our food and buttermilk, twisted bodies and legs. Again all of us boarded on the car, this time our remaining cousin also got in our car. Cars started, suddenly a stinking smell blocked our nose. We all started wondering, what’s this smell. None of us farted, no industrial area was passing by, than what was the smell? We opened windows, though chilling air was killing us, still the smell was not disappearing. We closed the windows and sprayed deo, ...

Review of Maya-In search of Tantric Father by Vipin Behari Goyal

“Maya-In search of Tantric Father" by Vipin Behari Goyal   Being an Indian, I came across many of the tales of India. All the Vedic literature and rituals of India is still mystery for modern Indian youth. Tantra, the basic concept of Indian rituals, is very popular, not only in India but also in abroad. Whenever Tantra word gets into someone’s ears, the image of human skulls filled with blood, naked aghoris performing mystical rituals. Everyone in world thinks that Tantra is really a dangerous thing and one must be away from it. I also thought the same thing, until I read amazing book “Maya- In search of tantric father” by Vipin Behari Goyal. I personally consider it as ‘Encyclopaedia of Tantra and India’ as my own confusions and questions of Tantra are perfectly solve in this book. The book depicts a journey of an American girl Maya, who lives in USA with her parents. Maya’s life goes upside down when her mother dies and Maya reads her mother’s diary. Through th...

Humans

Book Review: The Bankster

Image
Awesome, thrilling, breathtaking, amazing, incredible and so and so and so. Words cannot express the awesome feeling, which comes by reading "The Bankster" written by Ravi Subramanian. The title itself gives the reader idea that novel moves around bank industry and the "Banksters" [Bank=Gangster] working in this industry. The title itself gives idea of author's intelligence, who has mixed up two words and has coined new word "Bankster".  The story is about money, power and greed. How the powerful people misuse the power and manipulate the people under and around them. Once again, the selfishness of humankind is revealed, where one is ready to kill and use anyone, who crosses his path. The way Ravi has woven the web of three places and many characters amuses us. The book is about Greater Boston Global Bank and its employees. Not only GB2, it involves Global conspiracy, which includes places like Israel, Angola, Kerala, Mumbai, Vi...
