Why i like rediff.com

Click this link
This is the comment from one of the reader for the above story

"actually akbar's moustache has been misrepresented. according to history it slants at 38 deg, while the movie shows 43 deg. this is a grave insult to the mughal emporer and his sultanate. All India Islamic Movement has also decided to protest against the release of this movie. director gowrikar has said that if required, he is ready to spend on digital effects to change the slant of his moustache to the required 38 deg"

In hot topics atleast you will find one like this, nice way to kill time.

R K Narayan

There is so much written about him but everyone has their own views so here comes my views about this legend.

I haven’t loved any English writing Indian authors (though my reading of English novels written by Indian authors are limited) like RK Narayan. May be its because of his writing style which is simple and plain English, may be because of the contents - day to day life, the hidden comical thing (which is there throughout his books), may be because you can relate the characters with somebody or even with yourself.

I haven’t read full collections of Narayan, because I want to keep something aside for future (still I have to read his famous ‘Guide’)
My favorite two books of RK Narayan out of the books I read of him are

* My days (his auto biography)
* English teacher (his semi autobiography)

In My days he has mentioned that while preparing for his graduation exam he sat overnight with his friend and prepared answers for the previous year question papers (could you believe that it was in 1930’s, don’t we do that even now)

Its pleasure to read his books while living at Mysore, coz that’s where he had written all his books. Though I’m living at Mysore for the past two years I haven’t seen his house which is located at Yadavgiri (I don’t know the exact address, heard that the house is dilapidated with no one living in that). I hope to see his house before moving out of Mysore!

She was not a blonde gal but still....

I was standing in the ATM queue at ECC, Mysore Infosys. There were two gals standing before me to take some money. That was the swipe in (just insert and take the card out) kinda machine. When the first gal inserted the card, she kept it for quite a long time and took it out, the machine didn’t respond, she tried once again but got the same result. She was helpless. Just then the second gal who is standing just ahead of me took that card from the first gal and noticed that there was no self sign at the back of the card. Then without giving any thought she said, “see there is no sign thatswhy it’s not recognizing your card” and she was asking me “does it matter?” (What the hell, doesn’t she has the basic knowledge that sign doesn’t matter in an ATM card, BTW i have been using one without any sign for two long years). I controlling my laugh, said “sign doesn’t matter”, and helped the first gal to take the money.
