Author : srikanth major      Blog : The Blog of an ex fauji      Date : 5/13/2013 9:18:00 AM

'Mythological serials are something which i have never watched post Ramayana and Mahabharata. These 2 serials were part of my life in my childhood and not something which i really had a choice. The whole of India watched it for godsake. After these 2, DD was not too popular and we didn't have a cable TV for me to study well. As i grew up mythology was something i really didn't care about especially in the TV. Average actors, over exaggeration, typical music and drag the hel(...)'

Author : srikanth major      Blog : The Blog of an ex fauji      Date : 5/7/2013 6:23:00 AM

'Chocolates: The sweet dark brown things that we just take it for granted. I took it for granted and thought that they grow on trees. Well they start their lives in a plant for sure. But how they end up in a colorful package close to our mouth is what this book is all about.One question that you can ask is why should i read about chocolate that too its 250 year old history?The answer would be its not only about chocolate. Its about how and why they were successful and what (...)'

Author : srikanth major      Blog : The Blog of an ex fauji      Date : 4/22/2013 8:10:00 AM

'Blessed are those who have lived through the "Times that are a changin" Imagine this, Mr. Rustamji was inducted into police from pre-independence era, served in  post Independent India covering the Hyderabad police action, liquidation of dacoits in MP, serving with Nehru and Indira G, raised the BSF, involved in the Bangladeshi war etc. It was sad to see this book in a corner of a book shelf in crosswords.

Durbar: anatomy of an India and its dynasty

Author : srikanth major      Blog : The Blog of an ex fauji      Date : 3/26/2013 9:15:00 AM

'Tavleen Singh has always been a favorite as she is one of the few journo's who have tried doing their job. In the book Durbar, she has carried the torch forward in a very simple and clear manner.But before we process one statutory warning: No where in this book is anybody tarnished in any manner.This book Durbar is about India, Congress and Gandhi family mainly. There are some references to the overall political culture & life that was prevalent around that point (...)'

Invisible Armies: A magnum Opus of Guerrilla Warfare: A review

Author : srikanth major      Blog : The Blog of an ex fauji      Date : 3/25/2013 9:10:00 AM

'This book is a huge book that may look scary like a reference manual. This book can also be used as a personal weapon in closed quarter battles. This book can also be used to learn from other people's mistakes and not commit the same. Pardon me if something doesn't go too well in the review as tweeting a lot has really resulted in me writing like the way a blue bird speaks.The book is about Guerrilla warfare since the earliest days till this date. I heard that it took(...)'

Salvation of a Saint: A review

Author : srikanth major      Blog : The Blog of an ex fauji      Date : 2/26/2013 5:26:00 PM

'This is the second book by this Author that i have been able to get my hands on. He is a Japanese crime fiction writer, and ladies and gentlemen he does a damn fine job of it. This author has a very strange template to his stories. Each novel starts of with the murderer being advertised at the first or at the max 4th page in the novel, along with the crime being committed in the first few pages itself.The best part of the book is, the author helps maintain the interest thr(...)'

'The book got hold of my attention because of the title. It is a very strange title and still am not clear as to what it exactly means.Before i start off, one important point that i would like to put across, this is not a review. The book is just a conversation that the author has with us and i have really tried to write few lines at the height of depression. So please pardon me.The book is divided into 2 parts. The first part is about his story, his childhood days, his school, (...)'

'This is not really a review as anything related to Steve Jobs is known to lot of people. Each new article of that man is just an active to passive voice conversion. So after giving that gyan one more important thing to add, the growing literature on Jobs carries the same thing again and again which this book tries to condense it and help others learn through examples and correlation with his life.This book has been written by Carmine Gallo, who is a communications coach an(...)'
