The Murder of Roger Acroyed

Call me a fool but i didn't know that its a simplified and truncated version of the classic!!It was a Times of India's report
(http://articles.timesofindia.indiatim...)
that inspired me to read Agatha Christie , which was on my to-read list ever since i started reading fiction.Searched Flipkart and ordered the best buy. To my surprise the book was just 120 pages and only after reading the foreword did i realize it was not the original.

But nonetheless its a gripping tale which glued me to the book . I could guess the murderer and was confirming my while gulping down the pages. Though this book covers the story and preserves the narrative it left me with the desire to read the original...

Who said Black??

The Lavie Handbag Commercial feat Kareena made me toss on my seat saying 'Yeah that’s a real Gal'. After bugging the salesman for hours for Black hang bag, she finally picks up an Orange one with a perfect finish line...'Who said Black??' Hats off to the advertising team of Lavie , they have surely hit the bull's eye. I mean..that's how we are!!! And the sooner one makes peace with the fact that a woman has a million faces ..the better. I mean..would you like to date a gal who knows what she wants..does what she decides to do for the day..has sorted priority list..then u are definitely gay..Go Marry a MAN!

Kahne mein kya jaata hai

That moment when one of the prospective grooms you talked to while finalising on 'The One' gets engaged and sends you an invitation. You are curious to know how the 'bride to be' looks and it gives you immense relief to ascertain that you are better looking than her. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Writing is a very unique art. It lets your mind wander but in the right direction. It places you in oblivion but yet dawns upon you certain revelations. It locks you from the world but only to make you discover newer ones. Writing puts me at a different level of perception altogether. Its not about seeing your words in print but its about echoing your thoughts to the world. You can actually make a difference with your words! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lack of confidence is taking a toll on life, its just that I am realizing it now. Never was competing with people about wo...

The Picture

Sifting through his almirah, Searching for a book He , drew out an old volume Off the rack, Something fell down, He turned , It was a picture of hers.. He has taken it, Silently, capturing her unaware While she was gulping down A 'Paani ka bataasha' He had waited for the right moment, Waited for her to open her mouth, Put the whole thing inside, Chew it softly, And squeeze her eyes 'Click'   'Waut u doin'?? She had asked with her mouth full.. I hate you for this, she squirmed Faking anger, she looked so silly He had decided he will get it printed.. With the silly face and disheveled   hair In the pale old picture She still looked beautiful..
