  🙏  🙏 Om  namo bagavathe sri aurovindaya 🙏 SRI AUROBINDO. Tales of Prison Life-About the book Dr. Sisir Kumar Ghosh translated this book from its original Karakahini publication in 1909–10 into English. The book includes three essays,a poem 'Invitation'  in English written in Alipore jail and a 'Uttarpara' speech in English, along with the main text.   I read this book twice, as it was very engrossing. I gathered the courage  to write a few lines about the book. (I am not a high calibre person to write about Sri Aurobindo, a world renowned yogi and  an incarnation of Satchitananda.) .This book is an account of  his spiritual experiences in Alipore jail. On May 1, 1908, the British government  arrested him for conspiracy and released him after a year of solitary confinement. The cover photo depicts the Alipore prison room, where Sri Aurobindo found himself locked in seclusion. " God took me to a prison and turned it into a place of meditat...

  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 ...

He Conquered The Jungle Dr.keshava Reddy He conquered the jungle  is the translation of" Athadu Adavini Jainnchadu "( అతడు అడవిని జయీంచాడు) written by Dr.Keshava Reddy in Telugu.

The protagonist is an old swineherd who, as night descends, sets out to the nearby jungle in search of his missing pregnant sow. The story is set completely in the jungle. It starts at sunset and ends at sunrise. The author portrayed an outcast old man as an extraordinary man. Keshava Reddy imparts superhuman qualities to the old man to achieve the protagonist’s mission. He is the main human character among the animals in the jungle. The writer has not named the central character. The old man‘s only mission is to find the sow and its new-born piglets and get them back to the shed. Hero is a fearless man and a great warrior. He has tremendo...

Miss.Marple, an elderly lady with a habit of solving murders ,helps Neele who is   a detective inspector to solve   the murder mystery of   a threesome .

Brief Review The Company of Women - novel by Khushwant Singh The novel is about Mohan, the protagonist’s romantic and   exciting adventure for a woman who makes him happy   and wants a woman for his unquenchable thirst for lust. Mohan was a sex maniac. He married Sonu because she was beddable enough. To him sex was the more pressing need than love or   companionship. The matter of   sex is a paramount He states “love is an elusive concept.” So we regard him as a lustful man without any emotions. His relationships were not meant to be enduring; there were no strings attached. This was very clear to us when Sarojini liked to take over the household; he ignored her and she was put in her place.  In this episode, he was a little bit emotional and wanted her to be with him for at least three months until college reopened. Sarojini realised that they were living in a fool's paradise built by them. The only positive aspect of this novel is that ...
