Completed reading of "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga.
"I was looking for the keys, but the doors was always open"- The White Tiger.
# the best novel i've ever read.
# if you want to break the "MYTH OF SHINING INDIA" & "MERA BHARAT MAHAN" read The White Tiger.
# Corruption in politics and education, pollution, prostitutiion, hit & run, failure of governmental institution, Rich V/S poor conflict, Globalization and changing morality, two sides of India- Darkness and Light and many more things beautifully merged into a single plot in humorous and satirical, ironical way. # Must read novel!!!!!!

Completed reading of play "The Swamp Dwellers" by Wole Soyinka. - Very short but play with deeper layers of meaning.
Now begin to read novel " A Grain of Wheat" by Ngugi wa Thiongo.
"Kihika" signifies an inhuman heroism which is necessary for freedom and justice. He is the "Grain of wheat" of the title, WHO MUST DIE FOR NEW LIFE TO BEGIN.

    ‪#‎Radical‬ thinkers always supressed by authority. Shocked to read that Ngugi wa Thiongo was detained and after release Govt. dismissed from his academic job & harrased him out of the country in 1982. The reason was that his writing and 'peasant' workshop were bringing tremendous social changes, and this panicked the Govt.( Really people are by and large 'Lucky'- character of ‪#‎Waiting‬ for Godot- who will kick you if you try to make him free)
    -Interesting parallel we find happening around us also......
    ‪#‎Untill‬ we wont protect our intellectual people, humanity will never progress.‪#‎POWER‬ is not always right. As a society we've to grow and protect our intellectual treasure.

    We dont know what "We Dont know".‪#‎The‬ Da Vinci Code( Dan Brown)-Sophie Neuve and Prof.Langdon dont knew who they are. What Sophie wasnt believing her entire life she herself was that. What Langdon was writing it was with him. SOPHIE was the secret, and Langdon was the Protector, Knight, Secret keeper.But #"WE DONT KNOW WHAT WE DONT KNOW". Because "knowledge dawns", we will come to know only when time comes.

For writing a movie review on " The Midnight's Children' and 'The Reluctant Faundamentalist'- Reading various theories about how to review a film. Now i come to know that u can not give comment on movie randomly, but u have to do it systematically, methodologically. if u like the movie, then why? and not , then why not?. script, plot, graphics, (mechanics of movie), cinematograpgy, sound, music, narrative technique, content of movie, time duration , level of enjoyment ...... and many more..
this all things one should keep in mind while reviewing films, which even i m surprised to know while reading.


Reading Ngugi Wa Thiongo's '-Decolonising the Minds'.
# Indians and Africans both were colonised by White people. but it is surprising that African people have tried more to free themselves from the clutches of White mentality, where as we are still blindlly obsessed with idea that West is superior.
i think we also have to think about the Decolonizing of our minds......


i m Reading "Manavi ni Bhavai"- a Gujarati novel by Pannalal patel. really mindblowing novel.

Friedrich Nietzsche declared the concept of “ Death of God”, which was taken in narrow sense by time. He gave an idea of : Übermensch - ‘superman’. Means a person with extraordinary abilities. For example‪#‎Krishna‬, or Jesus.Christ who were such supermen, who paved their own path. And which was followed by people in the time to come. So the solution of the question will be that one has to develop his own sense of morality.‪#‎God‬ will not come from heaven to guide you. He thinks in more advance way then T. S. Eliot. Where as Eliot goes into past for the solution of the contemporary problems.(Nimesh Dave)
