well, last two weeks were pretty hectic...finished reading Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and Chetan Bhagat's 2 States. so writing about them, 2 states was again a kinda disappointment... too filmy and felt like after doing it for IIT's in 5 point someone, chetan was busy brandishing IIM's this time . man, it hurt big time being categorised as a student of a 'donation' collage. I love reading him, but sometimes inbetween, it becomes too filmy to digest and regarding the story, i hated DDLJ and hated this one too.
regarding The Lost Symbol, it wasn't as brilliant as The Da Vinci Code, infact i hurried down the last 40 pages reading randomly from the pages, but i dunno why, this kinda stuff ignites mine inner self. in past three days, i have googled every single old monument in India, hoping to get even a faint smell of lost treasures or secret societies associated with them, but seems like google is also clueless on this like me. I have heard of some mysterius things lately regarding these things but overall, nothing is clear.
in between, Mr Brown mentioned that concept of universe having 10 dimensions was mentioned in our upanishads, a fact which our modern science has just revealed. motivated by this, i downloaded full copies of upanishads and was bored to death too find out the opening instance between yama and nachiketa lasting 40 pages.
welll..it ends here... i shouldn't write here during office times.
