Hi,
Recently i finished reading Brethren - a good novel by John Grisham. The plot for the story was excellent. The story is about 3 Old judges who were arrested for their Crimes, ended up in a same prison. These 3 conspired a plan toc create a scam and earn money and freedom. The story was moving interestingly. They hooked a big shot in a scam and got pardon from the prison because of the big shot. Nice story to read - overall.
Thanks,
Soma

Kite Runner
Hi All,
This time i came with a book of different flavor. It reminded me of my childhood memories and i cherished reading the mischief of Ali and Amir. The author has portrayed those 2 characters well so that those 2 gets a place in your heart. I really felt sorry for Ali, poor boy who supported his boss's (whom he worked for) Son. The stories shows the real life in Afghanistan after the taliban entered. I am not really interested in these kind of stories. But this one impresses me a lot. I was curious towards the end of the story, how Amir happens to end up with his enemy and how he saved his own brother's son from Afghanisthan and migrated to USA. All credits to Khaled Hossaini. I am looking forward to start his next book "A Thousand Splendid Sun". Meet u all in my next blog after reading another book.
Thanks,
Soma

Hi All,
After a long time, I am back on track to blog about some of my readings. Meanwhile i read a book by Richard Bach - Jonathan Livingston Seagull - An absloute self motivating factor. This book explains about the metaphysics. The way the seagull was characterized and its lasting determination to travel all the planes is awesome.

Godfather by Mario Puzo
Hi All,
After finishing the Lopsang Rampa's Spiritual classics 'I Believe' an ' Third Eye'. I have started Godfather by Mario Puzo. The book's plot and author's characterization of Sicilian Don Corleone as God father is awesome. I am little bit slow reader. I will take time to finish a single book compared to other readers as i visualize things slowly and my sub vocalization while reading is not allowing to read at much better speed. I want to overcome that in future. I am working on that. The portayal of Don and his family as one of the major force in NY according to the book is good. Other than Don Corleone another character which inspired me more was Micheal Corleone, even though his toughness compared to Don was less. Some how it took 6 weeks to finish the story [:( ]. Don's guiding principle and calmness in handling tricky things and his influence among the big shots of America is absolutely superb (thanks for the author for having a scintillating plot). Altogether the experience was great. I am thought of reading more books in the coming days.. will meet you in my next blog about yet another fiction. Till then have a happy blog reading ( Which i will enjoy much).

Opening of theThird Eye
Yesterday I read 3 pages of Rampa’s The Third Eye. I was reading the part in which Rampa meets the Dalai Lama. He met Dalai Lama when he was 8 years old. The Dalai Lama is popularly referred as The Inmost One in Tibet. His Lamasery is in Potala. He was trained by his guru for meeting Inmost one. There are some of the quotes which I really liked from the book so far.
“ We must rehearse, we must make ourselves quite perfect in our approach”
The above quote is by Rampa when he is practicing the procedures and etiquettes one has to follow when meeting the Inmost One.
Some other quotes which inspired me a lot.
“Reading and Writing are the gates of all qualities”
“Writing is easy, all you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood from on your forehead”
So far I have covered 8 Chapters in ‘The Third Eye’. Hope will finish it soon.

Rampa's I Believe
Yesterday, Finally i finished the book 'I Believe' by
Lopsang Rampa. In that book he wrote about Akashic
Record, Astral Planes ( No Idea before i read that
book) which are some terminologies associated with
human life after death. he told that he wrote about 17
books and 'I Believe' is his 17th book. Today i read
from tha blog, 'You Forever' is his first book. The
blog author explained his interest in Rampa's Writing
style which i too like the most, He told that book
answered some of the intriguing questions in his life.
But i was really amazed by the book and it raised some
interesting questions in my mind which i haven't
thought before. Some interesting fact turned me on. I
was attracted by the way he expressed his opinions
about the world, for e.g his dislike for Women
Liberalization, Communism, Religious controversies. It
will bring the new perspective about the life to each
and every reader. The pendulam concept of the good nad
evil, his opinions about how the doctors should be and
his Golden Age visions are some of the highlights of
the book. Eager to start his next book 'Third Eye'
which describes the teaching process in the Lamasaries
of Tibet.
