The best thing about the book is the description of Varanasi and it’s gastronomic delights!….

Having said that I would also consider that this is a good first attempt by an author who is a successful entrepreneur and the best selling author of three non fiction books!…

So there’s no lack of brain or knowledge in the side of the author when he tries to mix a sweet amalgamation of ancient civilization to the present times!…

In an effort reminiscent of Dan Brown or more closer Ashwin Sanghi the author keeps the narrative fast paced and engaged!….

A generous dose of ancient scriptures and beliefs have been strewn with a modern twist to make this fiction more mysterious!….

Harappa has always been a topic of intrigue since no one knows what is the truth and since many findings can be interpreted either way it is a virtual goldmine for authors like Vineet!!…

So you have your usual chosen one, the strong and beautiful damsel (s!!), Lots of action, lots of kill and lots of thrashing of the foreign belief or understanding!…

It’s really a pity that the very intellectual hot shots who would proudly show off their Dan brown would never even accept interested in reading this one!!….

So pretenders can read Origins once again while others can read this one and believe me you will not be disappointed……!!

For those Bravehearts who did start on this one lemme tell you that it’s only the first part!… But don’t worry the next one is also released!… So while I grab on that one you folks can start this one!!… What say Pralay!!….

Nehru the creation of India by Shashi Tharoor….

Let me answer the biggest question first!!…

No, I did not have to reach to my dictionary now and then to read this one!…I guess this one was before the vocabulary attack!…. Literally!!…..

Another perspective from a member of the same party trying to score some browny points while cleverly indicating a lot by saying very little!!…. That’s what is the book which though non fiction is fiction to a point of view of the man who himself is under a cloud of suspect nowadays!….

While freedom at midnight gave so much importance to Lord Mountbatten and while Azad’s autobiography gave it to himself and am sure while the hordes of books on the Mahatma give the onus to Gandhi, this one is Nehru everywhere!…

The clever manipulations by the father of the nation to give post to his protégé might have in effect given us a weak, temperamental, communistic and naive first leader of the country…… Imagine the strong Bose or the iron Patel as the more stronger alternates…… At this point it’s only a matter of have been and nothing else……

And how cleverly

Tharoor glides over the women in the pundit’s life giving ample space for imagination is why the book had to be written by Shashi….

Had picked up this one too see one more opinion if that would change mine….. About dynasty that is…. But safe to say that this one is nowhere close….

Read to know another view point though don’t expect it to change your point of view!!…… So exasperating!!!…..

Courage and commitment by Margaret Alva….

Non fictions usually take a longer time to read and more importantly finish… So this one was done in three days since I was in a hurry to know how it ends!!…

Being an Alva and a convent educated lady the diction and narration would obviously be good…. May not be Avante garde like Tharoor but it was in a language wherein I didn’t have to reach for the dictionary every now and then!!…

In the big ocean that’s the Congress party there were so many leaders who do shine but finally they have to endure sideline…

So inspite of being the youngest RS MP or doing amazing work at every given post be it lobbying for equal status to airhostess, or the women reservation bill, or getting funds for the poor apparently and many many more!…. The whole book is filled with her achievements and rightfully so!…. But at the end of the day its all gas…. Literally!…

There was a narrative stating how shifting out of offical house was a pain after her term came to an end and I was appalled!!… Did the madam think this was her own house!!??….. To think that she is actually one of the better politicians around and you can only imagine the state of the worse ones!…

It was treat though to understand what happens in those international trips which our MPs and MLAs crave and kill for!…. The first class travel, the big banquets, the gifts and of course free alcohol!!…. All at the expense of the taxpayer!!….

The life of a politician though was no better than a sub standard soap though!… The back stabbing, the boot licking, the friends becoming foes and finally in the end only two things prevail…. Money and ego!…

Many positives though as her mentioning of PV N Rao, the actual architect of economic boom and the one who has all been forgotten by the same party….. The way she mentioned about the first prince Rajiv and then the latter prince was quite open but then again she goes Back to the devotee mode which is like the mantra of the members of this party!…. Her narration about the Sanjay and emergency period was also very vivid though I am guessing that in hindsight she would have toned down the narrative to be more pro Indira than she intended to be…… All these actual truthful depiction starts well though but lose steam midway which was quite sad really….. But then you cannot live in the pond and fight with the Croc right!!??

At the end of it all the many years of work was never appreciated since at the end of the day she did not get a ticket for her son!…. That’s what it finally ends up in…. Everyone wants to roam around, work for the party, give free advice, please voters by pseudo dreams but finally no one ever thinks about the country……

Any other country and party you would have reached the stars madam but in this party you may be the most deserving minister but the crown will always go to the Prince!!……

The Keepers of the Kalchakra by Ashwin Sanghi….

Apply laws of quantum physics to astrology and you get this!!…

Imagine that you have a quantum twin!…. That means there’s someone just like you who is sharing your energy!…. He or she may be in some other part of the world though!… When you sleep is when he or she gets up!… What you have seen in your dream in probably what he or she would have done awake!!…. Much like the movie Avatar!…. There comes a point where dream and day unite!! (Reminds me of a pink Floyd album!!)….. But the core use of this is that is someone is the quantum twin of say the Prezi of a big country and you want to kill him or her then all you have to do is kill the more accessible twin!!….

The premise was good and the way Ashwin handles it is usually on par with Dan Brown. So if you are big on Dan Brown novels then you will definitely like this one cause this is closer to your home!…. Though the colonial hangover will obviously prevent most to even admit that they read Ashwin!…

Like his previous books, this one too is full of the ancient history so to speak though in this one the treatment starts very rationally but gets magical (literally!!) In the end!!….

References to Budha, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Ravana and finally the Lotus which is the center of discussion even in the country!!…

Lots of twists and surprises as usual and lots of ancient information packaged for the modern minds so to speak!…

This one may not be as good as his epic The Rozabel Line but it’s not as bad as the private Delhi!….

The regulars will like it since it is clear that Ashwin has done a lot of reading before writing this one and it shows….

Others can go and read Dan Brown origin once again just for the spite!!…..

Batman…..
He was my craze ever since I heard about the billionaire who had a secret lair and used to stay up in the night fighting crimes and keeping criminals at Bay!….

My (and most Indians!) First brush with Batman was the famous animated series by Warner brothers!…. At that time it was cutting edge animation compounded by gripping story telling and extensive use of shadow and visual cues!… Even now this series is counted as one of the best superhero animated series ever!…. The latter ones like Batman of the future and justice league only added the flavour!….

‎There was a time when this used to come only in the doordarshan metro channel and I used to eagerly wait for the Sunday to watch it!…. In fact during the days of entrance it was the only TV I used to watch!…

There was a slight interruption during the first few years of MBBS since I neither had the time nor the courage to approach the TV room area of the men’s hostel!… Then during the final year and house surgeoncy with added company of Sameer the hulk and hunk of our batch we used to sneak up most of the episodes of Batman!….

Our regular routine was to reach half hour earlier and slowly dwindle the competition!….😃😃… The Juniors used to listen to me, while the seniors used to get convinced by Sameer!!…. Later on when Vivek and Ramki also joined our gang of Batman viewers it was easier to get our channel!… The worst was of course when there were super seniors and they were hell bent on watching the news or some other archaic thing just to spite us!!

 

One fine day we were happily watching it in house surgeons quarters that the connection got interrupted!…I still remember driving my bike like a madman with Sameer behind me to reach the first block men’s hostel where we knew we could watch in peace!!…. There were a couple of super seniors who were watching some old Malayalam movie at that time though!… But when we told them that we have come all the way from house Surgeon quarters to watch then they relented much to our relief!!….

It was then Sameer told me to never drive like that again except if it is to watch Batman!!😃😃….

After leaving the college though I caught up with most of the Batman movies and animated series, it was Only a passing viewing!…. In fact during the PG days we were ourselves Batmen who used to be awake the whole night and day and work like zombies in the ward, op and theater!!😃 (Operation!)……

We had realized that of all the super heroes most of them adults wanted to be Batman because only he had no super powers!… Sounds childish but everyone at that time thought that the only thing required to be Batman was to have lots of money and a big mansion!!😃😃…..

Anyway that was when I was young (er!!)… Now the movies are piled up in my hard disc while the comics are gathering dust in my shelf!!…. All good things come to an end I guess. …..or not!!

The other day I was showing this new Yoga Tablet to Minu and calling it really cool!….

To which my son remarked, “that may be cool dadda!…. But you know who is more cool!!??😃😃”

He lifted his favorite superhero figurine in his hand and announced…..”BATMAN!!!”….

and the story continues!!😃😃..……

 

Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari!…
Finally finished this masterpiece!…. Imagine that the amount of time it took to finish!… Close to two months when I had finished five other novels in between!…😃😃…
The reason is not that it is boring but because it’s so serious and factual that I had to give my complete attention to read each and every word!…. If homo sapiens was gold then this one is at least Platinum!!…..
It was almost as if it was an extension of Dan Brown’s latest novel Origin!…. And then some….!!
The way automation has been explained esp in the later chapters is just mind boggling!… This one is not just another read and forget!….
Turing test or Google or Cortana or Facebook or Apple!…. You name if you got it!… How many jobs are in the process of getting lost to automation is scary!!…
How robots are just a few algorithms away from being humans is very very interesting!…. How the impossible feats of the past are just the usual routine of today!….
Yuval you are a genius! 👌👌…. Big Salute to you!…. Just go for it folks!…. One of the few books which I bought both the hard copy and ebook version cause I couldn’t get enough!!😃😃…..
The new religion is going to be information or dataism!!….. Get ready!!

The saboteur by R V Raman….
This one’s special….I think the first novel on the eretail… Things that have been discussed and explained by a cool storyline!!
An inside take on the e retailers and how they work!….
The over estimation of valuations of some of the companies mostly software without any physical infrastructure!
How bots work and how they create the illusion of humans and costumer!
Why those anything capcha have become so important!
How companies like Amazon or Flipkart work!..
How the Start ups give crazy discounts just to get the market share by bleeding themselves!!
How some products are profitable and some always loss!
How things like delivery time and cost and pin code can make or break a company!
How with just future predictions these companies are bleeding dry especially when they have a great sale season!!
How using the same delivery channel you can save a lot of cost!
How the product procurement, the cost cutting and the big sales and incentives work!

And the most important of all!!…. The most priceless commodity is DATA!!
All these nicely constructed in a financial web by a financial wiz!!…
Anyone interested in money go for it!… That’s means everyone right!!😄😄👍👍

 T’was a crisp morning in the train in which I was traveling and I knew I was late in getting up because I missed a station I was supposed to have got down for tea. I looked out irritatingly for my darn mobile which till now had never failed to go off at with the alarm. I remember hanging it around the neck but to my horror was broken. It was still dark and so I fumbled around the floor in the vain search of my mobile. I suddenly realized that I do have a torch which was overcome by another realization that torch was also in the mobile!! By this time my mates in the compartment also got up and I urged them also to search for the same with the obvious suggestion by everyone to search my bag first. Yeah, I thought to myself, someone would have seen my mobile on the floor and taken it to safely place it in my bag because he did not want to disturb me!!!

Patiently I controlled myself and urged someone to call to my mobile.  Everyone hesitantly looked around for someone to do so instead of doing it themselves!!! I said “don’t worry guys will pay you the cost of the call! Now please call!!!”

I took one of the phones and dialed my number….now wait a minute, I thought to myself, what was my number!!! I don’t know my number!!!…hey I don’t even know my home or my girlfriend’s number!! And she would have sent the good morning message by this time!! Those butterflies and rabbits in my stomach just multiplied!! I still remember proudly boasting a few days back on how my phone has such large phonebook memory!! If only I my brain had some!!

With lots of guesswork; and a little luck (about time!!), I recalled my number and dialed it. A very sweet voice on the other end replied that she is sorry that the mobile which I was trying to reach was switched off.  In my sheer desperation even that robotic voice was so soothing!!

By this time people around the compartment were fully awake and since none of them had any better work to do they piled me up with suggestions!!

Pull the chain and report this to the police right now someone suggested, another one said why to pay the fine of pulling the chain when the next station is nearing where I can complain. One of them who had the same service provider as mine suggested I call the customer care and complain about the theft and offered his phone for the same (knowing fully well that it was toll free and anyway he had no balance for other calls!!)

This suggestion was the best one and I dialed the number to be greeted by the same sweet voice asking me in which language I would like to be comforted!! After I selected English she asked would I like to know the offer of the day or listen to the latest caller tune!!!! I was beyond myself and getting irritated to the limit!!

She continued asking me if I wanted the balance detail or recharge details and a ton of other useless details and offers!!

After a long wait, a faint voice finally decided and said I need to press the hash key for speaking to the customer care executive…finally I got through only to be greeted by the same voice saying all are busy and I am very important to her so please wait. I have heard of stalkers and maybe she is one!!

After soothing my nerves or rather heating it!! I finally was greeted by another sweet voice who said very good morning and asked how she can help me….she added that the conversation can be recorded for training purposes!! Like a guinea pig, I thought to myself!!!

I told her that I have lost my mobile and it was coming as switched off when I call. She said nothing to worry about sir; we will help you locate it!!

I was happy beyond words!! And then she asked me if I have the imei number?

I asked, “What is imei number! I am emotional quotient number of something?!!” I thought why she has to ask if I was emotionally stable!! When the voice on the other end surprisingly said, “IMEI number sir”

The kid on the opposite birth looked at me with disgust and asked, “you don’t know what IMEI number uncle is!!??”

Yesterday when I was showing of the new java game in my mobile, he was exclaiming what a cool game bhaiyya!! And now the lack of this knowledge of this confounding number thing and I became an old uncle!!!

The lady sensing that and concluding to herself that I have a brain of a dodo set out to explain that it will come if you punch certain number on your phone!!

I said, “Well the thing is I don’t have the phone!!!! Which was the problem in the first place!!?”

She calmed me down and said, “don’t worry sir, it will be written on the box sir!!”

Yeah right! I thought to myself; as if I will be carrying the box in which I bought the mobile everywhere I go!!!

Anyway after reaching the zenith of my patience, I told her as nicely as possible that I will get back to her once I get the IMEI number!! She said she will block my number and asked if she was helpful enough and thanked me for calling!!

A lot help!!! I was depressed then, I was in the deeps now!!

Reaching the station, I decided to at least call my home and explain that I was safe and sane!!

I had to ask even the address where I was supposed to go!! That was majestically stored in my mobile!! With regret I was remembering how I had proclaimed that my data pda phone also reads documents and thus I don’t need to have any papers on me much to the chagrin of my mother!!

I could still remember how she grumbled it will be easier and safer to write that on a piece of paper!! I could imagine the taunts I would get now when I will ask her the address again!!

I suddenly realized I could not message my girlfriend since morning!! I could not obviously ask my mom for the number which I knew she would have and pretend not to!!

I struggled hard to remember the number and called her to get some word of sympathy but instead got, “oh my god!! Then all those nice messages I sent to you and all those great photos in which I was looking nice was gone!!!” and I was left more in the dump!!

I went to the service provider and asked if I can get the same number to which she said I need to register a police complain and bring the copy!! As if my number is in so much demand!!!

I also realized that without my reminders (I was often praised for remembering birthdays and anniversaries recently all cause of the mobile!!), calculator and messages I was lost like a ship without sail!!!(Maybe the old generation ship!! I really don’t care much for metaphors; I lost a mobile you see!!).

I realized that I was so dependent on the mobile even as much that I stopped wearing a watch!!!

Anyhow, after futile attempts at locating my mobile I bought a new one; albeit a better one to pamper my mood!! (Anyway my mobile was three months old and outdated!!)

I also got my old number back and got my contacts and my girlfriend’s number back!!

In short my life was back on track!!!

The rope around my neck is stronger and I do constantly see the time on the mobile just to confirm that the supporter of my life is safe!!

Some mobile tips:

The IMEI number is the core of the mobile, never buy a mobile phone without it, the number can be found in the box.

Always back up your phone especially data phone and high end phones with the available software usually bundled with the phone (Nokia pc suite, Motorola mobile phone tools etc)

Messages, photos and videos on the phone if personal should be properly taken care of and if possible deleted after back up as once lost it is left for everyone to see and pass around (you loose a phone and next thing you know is that you are an internet celebrity!! Of the wrong kind!!)

Always keep a back up of the phone numbers with you, most of the phone software can even give a print out of the contact details if you are too lazy to write.

Data phones are sensitive, keep them away from water; it may play havoc with the circuit and may even burn it!!

Your mobile phone is a personal device, realize that!! You do not have to advertise to the whole world about it!!! Follow that for your own good!!

Don’t listen to the mobile phone music in full volume or you may not be able to listen to anything at all!!

Mobile etiquette is something which is the need of the day; practice it

Happy mobiling!!

You would have heard about them and in all probability played them with your friends or alone. FPS have always been loved by gamers across the world and are a very popular entertainment media. Many games such as Doom and Max Payne have also been made into successful movies. We present a concise list of some of the best FPS series ever. 

WOLFENSTEIN
This was the grand daddy of the first person shooters in every sense. Initially released as a limited version shareware, it soon grabbed attention with its Nazi references and 3D environ. The so called sequel Return To Castle Wolfenstein was so ahead of its times like its predecessor. You initially start with very limited weapons and aim of escaping from the prison and move on to much complicated missions. The level in which one is faced with two big Gorillas like enemies armed to the core still is one of the toughest to beat. The initial cutscene of the game was one of the most engaging ever to be seen in any game.

DOOM
Who can forget doom, the game which swept wolf3D away and took most of the accolades. In this game you have an amazing 3D environment and so many levels and so many bosses and so many enemies to kill!! It was a thrill ride all the way in this and the sequels which had similar feel. Then came doom 3 which redefined the graphic requirements and set a new benchmark for graphic cards to reach.

             

The game-play was very similar to the original doom and story line was also similar with plenty of levels to kill or get killed. The final boss level in which you have to face this humungous monster and kill him with a special weapon and as well as escaping and killing the other enemies who were in plenty is one of the most difficult to beat.

HALF LIFE
You cannot have a list of FPS and not mention this game. Released by a company called Valve, the game changed the way we play. The hero was so conveniently a computer nerd who is caught in a desperate situation. The play starts simply enough with you having no weapon but a crowbar with which you kill a creature called the head crab! As the levels progress, the enemies and mission became so complex and engrossing you find yourself hooked! Half life generated so much popularity that the company released sequels galore!! Half life 2 in fact was one of the most eagerly anticipated games ever!! And it did not disappoint at all! Released as episodes, the game was highly praised for its gameplay and engaging storyline. This sequel was one of the best games ever; having such interactive gameplay and missions involved so many weapons and artificial intelligence interaction. In many levels you cannot get through unless you have a liaison with the robotic AI; simply amazing to say the least.

SERIOUS SAM
Seriously speaking, the game was awesome!! Initially released as a simple game by a relative new group, it literally swept all the game awards and rightfully so. The sequels which were released later on were also a treat to play. In all these version your aim was simple; shoot and proceed and shoot you did!! In the game you feel so happy when you get a stockpile of weapons and health only to realize that it was in preparation of the explosion of enemies which you will get along with a background music which becomes so scary anytime it comes!! The final levels of this game series requires some serious patience to win and lots and lots of weapons and is nearly impossible to complete in the tough levels without cheats!!

    

DUKE NUKEM
Think duke and you can imagine the rudest guy you ever met who kills everyone on sight, throws money at strippers and sits on the enemy crown to answer the nature call!! Duke was the typical male character who was liked by the FPS fans world over and played over and over again! One of the games which was so successful that the creators became independent producers but unfortunately did not release the highly anticipated sequel. A game called duke nukem forever was released which was neither a proper 3D nor having a great gameplay but rather involved solving puzzles in a two-three Dimensional environment. Inspite of this, duke nukem was a great game and true FPS fans will wait for the sequel with anticipation.

CALL OF DUTY
Call of duty was a world war based game in the lines of soldier of fortune although the call of duty 4 series was based in modern times. The popularity of the game can be judged by the number of sequels and version released. In terms of gameplay, the game had autosaves and cutscenes with missions galore. The graphics in call of duty 4 modern warfare was so good that it as judged as the most photo realistic game ever.

 

DEUX EX
After this game was released, it changed the way we played FPS. Uniquely combining a normal FPS with RPG like environ was superbly executed. In fact you could change the way the game would end and thus there were different endings for the same game!! Lots of mission and lots of shooting with so many complex gameplay; it was intriguing to say the least.
   
MAX PAYNE
He was the eternally abused and hurt cop with a singular idea of revenge to find out who killed his wife and kid and why. It starts simply enough but as the game proceeds you are put through so many missions and have to face so many enemies you will absolutely love it. Added to it there was a thing called the bullet time which was an amazing experience much like the sand dagger of prince of Persia game. You could slow down your enemies reflexes and shoot them very nicely!! The cutscenes in the middle and amazing storyline with crosses and double crosses like in the movie (which was released recently) promised a very engaging experience. The sequel Fall Of Max Payne just continued the legacy established by its predecessor and was equally well received by FPS lovers all across he world.
 

HALO
This was released by Microsoft games and this one was a sure winner. You had tutorials and you had such crazy looking aliens you could almost laugh until of course they start shooting at you like crazy!! The environment was similar to the ones in the movie Avatar, very colorful and in depth. The missions were complex and you were presented with options of so many weapons and vehicles which was so thrilling to say the least. Sequels released by Microsoft were also well received although Halo 2 had restrictions that it could only be played in systems using windows vista which some felt was just a ploy to use the game popularity to promote the operating system which speaks to how well received the game was.

        

F.E.A.R.
First Encounter Assault Recon is a first-person shooter developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi. All we remember of this amazing game much like half life; were the cutscenes and the girl. You would peep into a room covered by glass and see something going on there and suddenly a girl (much like the horror girl of the movie the Ring) flashes on your screen with a scream and you have to change your pants!! Not advisable to play this game in the night with the headset! Apart from being one of the scariest game ever, FEAR was a great game and had amazing gameplay with hordes of weapons and mission which were simple and straight. In fact the game became so popular that sequels were released with constant frequency and were picked up with pomp by the FPS community.

  

In every list of this kind one is forced to select only games of personal preferences and availability. In fact there are many more FPS games available which are popular and have their own fan following which includes Quake, Unreal, XII, James bond etc. These will be included in the next series. The above list is not the top ten as they cannot be compared with each other and every game has it own special thing which an FPS lover looks for. This is just a list and nothing more with hope of extending the same to include more games which are popular and have amazing gameplay.
