    What about the food? Looks like there's plenty...or is that an offering?

      The food in the picture is the offering to Lord Ganesha, which we do get as 'Prasad'.

      The kids in our apartment block planned a fair in the evening with homemade food stalls. It was a lot of fun. Just returned from there. :)

Absurd, yet so good (Book Review - David S. Atkinson's Not Quite So Stories)

Image
Title : NOT QUITE SO STORIES Author : David S. Atkinson Publisher : Literary Wanderlus LLC Pages : 166 Genre : Absurdist Literary Fiction The stories of David S. Atkinson's Not Quite So Stories are, for want of a better word, weird. They are not your typical short stories and they are certainly not what I had expected. So, the 'not quite so stories' are weird, atypical and unexpected. And I enjoyed reading them. Read between the lines and you'd be surprised by their depth. Read them superficially and they are 'absurd'. The author's dedication for this book is "For Shannon, who graciously puts up with my absurdities and loves me anyway. Also for every third person named Fred." When I re-read the dedication after having read the book, it held more meaning. Thus my use of the word 'absurd'. The stories are very well-written. The humor, the emotions, the terror - it is all subtle. The paradox is that e...

Unequal equality #ThinkingAloud

I am a slow learner. Or maybe I should say 'I am a slow analyser', that is to say, that I have all the information needed to be able to analyse and therefore, understand and learn. But it doesn't happen. I have too many epiphanies - stuff which when I realise it, my first thought is, why didn't I realise this before. Part of the reason is the fact there are a lot of things that are taught to you, but you are not able to apply it to the current/different situation. I remember reading about Hitler and his beliefs of a superior race. Of course, it was wrong, is how my brain had instinctively processed it - something I consciously realised much later - and everyone knows it now, so that problem is now behind us. No, the problem remains the same. I have realised that it is difficult, if not impossible, to convince people of the 'wrong' in something without the basic accepted premise being that 'all are equal'. 'All', with no qualification of caste, ra...

High on emotions (Book Review: Lauren Rosolino's Running to Stand Still)

Image
Title: Running to Stand Still Author: Lauren Rosolino Genre: New Adult Romance Written in alternative first person narrative of Jamie and Collin, Running to Stand Still is a story that moved me with its' emotions. I love the title. The paradox so thoroughly explains the sentiment. It is the story of a dysfunctional family that looks normal from far off but has been living on tenterhooks since that one night years back when everything changed.  The family comprising Jamie, her younger brother Nate and their father Charlie. Lauren Rosolino has brilliantly written about a life where one, having lived with the underlying tension, becomes sensitive to the slightest of mood changes. Jamie is clear in her mind that she will move out and leave for a bigger city once her brother goes to college. "Don't get stuck here" are the four words that are stuck in her mind. "This was the place where I was from, whether I liked it or not. How often woul...
