thank you so much for the kind words mr. howard, i was really at a loss about what to reply to you... hats off to your insight , you understand that i would appreciate the horrors and brutal reality of war more than the jingoism .. great anecdote about gandhiji , you have known some really interesting people in your life.. a rap over coffee is fine.. though i really get talkative after a couple of beers :-)
Dear Mr.HowardThanks for the commentRegardsPromod
Howard India has lots more to offer then poverty and misery and I just cant read anything that portrays my country as a hell hole . I don't remember where my copy of the City of Joy is lying , gathering dust , ditto for White Tiger.Do you have any IM Id ? Posting notes here is so unsatisfactory
thank you! none in common though, it seems
Aha Kolkata - the city of joy! A city with rich heritage ,it has been home to five Nobel laureates – Ronald Ross, Sir C.V. Raman, Rabindranath Tagore, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen. It was founded 300 years ago out of 3 villages -- Sutanati, Gobindapur and Kolikata. Once the capital of British India, the capital of undivided Bengal and now the capital of West Bengal since Independence,it retains the aura of days long gone, weaving the past and the present, into a charming fabric.Its a grim book you have decided to read
Thanks, Howard ... that's very kind of you.
I have only read parts of it. But it is a classic :)
hi, it is a very good book specially if you want to peek into the contemporary indian thought process.DR Amartya sen is a nobel prize winner in economics..he critiques the policies of the indian government regarding agriculture and defence.and to make the whole thing more interesting he takes us back to the times of great indian kings like akbar and ashoka and says that progressive thought has always been a part of indian culture..a very good read...
Thank you. :)
Thank you Howard for your encouraging comment.Blessings.
The self does not carewhether one is cast of bronzeor the heart has an iron lining.At night the self only desires
Hiiiiiiii Howard ! I am very much here .. Aha ! Spock !! am still crazy about him ......"The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have "
My apologies, Sona.Journeying through the terrain of my versein these rains,inconvenienced youUnseasonal are the monsoons here.The alleyways of my poetry are frequently damp.Water gathers often in the ditches.If you trip and fall here, you run the riskof spraining a foot.this is by Gulzar , my favorite urdu poet
Hi Howard .. did you pick anything you liked enough to share ?Flames always manage to mesmerize me and I end up singing feathers ..guess I will never master the art.Till now, the lonely dawn weeps on -Thinking of how the world broke into pieces;Faces that have names can be left alone to live…Only if I cease to sleep even on a tired night…Still, will our shores begin building theBridges on stimulating slogans?The unwilling swallow, the mysterious sands willBe imprisoned into the ribs of a dead city, in someUnexplored corner on this planet. Wouldn’t anybodyDictate the consequences then?Wouldn’t the meaningless talking grow?Time told us to go on, though Time (it seems) isLike a boat made of paper; someone even sails it.Nevertheless, the night that has its moonFrom the memory keeps on drizzling dew dropsOn the fields of grief with calm affection as if,The innocent infant will come again from the uterusOf honesty.-Here? …-May be…
