Dan brown’s The Da Vinci Code

 My reactions on  Dan brown’s The Da Vinci  Code

Danbrown’s The Da Vinci  Code is a thriller. The writer blends together the historical  facts and fiction in order to  create thriller. He definitely had done an extensive research to  pen this  book. The readers, especially non christians need to  do  a little bit  research about the sects like  “Opus Dei,  “priory of sion” and Da Vinci paintings  like ‘ last supper’. I doubt whether the book  presented facts about the eradication of pagan religion  and the interpretations of Da Vinci paintings,but Brown’s book  shook  the very base  of the Christianity .
Dan brown’s presentation of unbelievable facts  baffled me. Teabing’s sensational revelations about Jesus marriage with Mary Magdalene and mention of two early Christian records “Nag Hammad ,Dead sea scrolls” baffles readers. It is a vehement attack on church, its campaign to  eradicate pagan religions and convert the masses to Christianity, obliteration of the goddess  from the  modern religion forever.
The story is all about deciphering the  code  written by 76 years old Jacques Sauniere, a curator of the Lourve Museum , before his  death to  pass the secret to  Sophie Nevue, his  grand daughter.
The code is
“13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5
Draconian  Devil
Oh, lame saint.”
Langdon, a symbologist and Sophie Nevue ,Saunerie’s  grand daughter, who  is a French Cryptologist  tries to decipher the code .
It is engrossing book, very well researched and deftly written. it is  an un-put-downable page-turner and is recommended for anyone who wants to read intelligent and informative fiction. I  definitely recommend. It is so wonderfully different from the other thrillers I have read so far.
Read this book
If  you  like  thriller.
If you have knowledge of Christianity and the Bible
If you are interested in riddles, codes and symbols
If you like to read informative book

Kitchen poem by Vimala -summary

Kakatiya  University English Semester- 3.  The Kitchen :   Vimala I remember the kitchen’s , Flavor upon flavor,  A mouthwatering  treasury, Pungence of seasonings, And the aroma of incense From the prayer room Next door. Each morning the kitchen awoke To the swish of churning butter The scraping of scoured pots. And in the center, the stove, Fresh washed with mud, painted And bedecked, all set to burn.   We saved secret money in the  seasoning box, hid sweets too, and played at cooking with lentils and We played Mother and Father, In the magic world of kitchen That wrapped childhood in its spell. No longer playground for the grown up girl Now trained into  kitchenhood. Like all the mothers and mothers’ mothers Before her, in the kitchen She becomes woman right here. Our kitchen is a mortuary, Pans, tins, gunny bags Crowd it like cadavers That hang amid clouds of damp wood smoke. Mother float...
