Secret Santa

 


Just as we finished setting up the Christmas Tree, I heard a thud outside the door. When I opened it, I was delighted to find a present from my secret Santa. 

Secret Santa is an initiative taken by my book club-Did you read today around Christmas time, every year. Each one of us are assigned a Santee to whom we would be sending a book with a hand written note, signed from secret Santa. 

Just last week, I was making a list of things to do this Winter Break, before my Spring semester starts in January. One was to read more books in the fantasy genre, take part in the MRR Xmas challenge where we workout continuously for 12 days wearing Christmas colors, starting from December 25th, finish watching The Crown on Netflix, catch some NFL games, the India-Australia test match (hopefully it isn't another disaster) write a couple of short stories and also spend some time for my own book promotions. I had downloaded the Throne Glass series on kindle and was looking forward to reading it. 

I was pleasantly surprised to find a book belonging to the fantasy genre as my present from Secret Santa, along with a thoughtful note.  





I have heard good reviews about this title from my book club folks and am very eager to start reading it now. Currently I just finished a Christmassy book by Nora Roberts and halfway through the 2020 Main Booker Prize winner-Shuggie Bain. After that I plan on finishing the Barnes and Noble book of the year-World of Wonders' and then get around to reading 'The Amulet of Samarkand'. Can't wait to get immersed into a magical world. 

Thank you Secret Santa and Merry Christmas. :)

100 meters : Movie Review

Image
Watched this inspiring Spanish film over the weekend on Netflix!  100 meters is a based on a true story of a man named Ramon who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He is told that he will be able to even walk 100 meters in the next one year. Determined to prove this wrong, he takes up the challenge of doing the grueling Ironman race which involves 2.4 miles swimming, 112 miles biking and 26.2 miles running.  With the help of his father in law with whom he initially shares a shaky relationship with, he begins to train relentlessly. Ramon faces challenges on the way and is almost pushed to the brink of being bed ridden. He overcomes every hurdle with grit and a positive frame of mind. It remains to be seen if he actually finishes the race.  This movie struck a chord in many ways. A triathlon is not just a race-its a humbling journey which alters your life forever. The training period is especially a challenging one as it demands a lot out of you. The film showcases the importance of f

The Chennai resistance

This city has a rich cultural heritage and people indeed try their best to preserve it as much as possible. However in spite of globalization descending upon them, with BPOs lurking at every corner, with the Burgers and pizzas invading their eateries, the typical chennaite will go by his time tested staple food. Times have changed, and Chennai itself is now invaded by population from other cities not only in India but form the world, thanks to the IT boom and the automobile hub centre that it has become. One can see the metamorphosis almost everywhere; old buildings have given way to modern architecture, arterial roads choked to the brim with modern vehicles, individual bungalows replaced by the apartments. Only the age old temples have withstood this onslaught, but they too

My friend Ganesha: Friendship with God

Image
-By Swetha Amit http://content.msn.co.in/MSNContribute/Story.aspx?PageID=b7ab149a-5f35-4861-8859-6a890ddb71fe Loneliness often propels one to longingly seek a friend. Times like these often push us into a solitary stance or we find our solace in the road to spirituality striking an unspoken friendship with God. My friend Ganesha is one such film which depicts this divine friendship between a child and the elephant faced God and takes you down the mythological lane. The movie revolves around a family consisting of Ashu, his parents, aunt and the maid Gangubhai who places her sincere devotion in Lord Ganapathy. Ashu is a lonely child devoid of any friends and to top it all he is bullied by his counterparts at every given opportunity. To make matters worse, his parents who are caught up with the corporate lifestyles hardly spend time with him. One day he ends up saving a little mouse from the harsh rains. On sharing this with the maid, leaves her enthralled enough to tell him of being the
