India broadcasted abroad....

Yesterday, I managed to complete two works of Art, which was being discussed across the world recently.


1. The White Tiger

The debut novel from Aravind Adiga was in the News after winning the coveted Booker Prize for 2008. And last time when I went to the Kottayam Public Library, I asked for the book and fortunately they had a copy avaliable. Started reading it on Monday and completed it yesterday.

I am not the one to right a review on the book. So many have done that. But I just think if that novel can make it to the Booker, many people in India who write in their vernalculars should seriously think about writing in English.


2. Slumdog Millionaire

This was a complete surprise for me. I remember reading the novel Q and A , during my college days. Someone in my hostel had a copy, and it reached me one fine day. I started reading it just to kill some spare time, and completed it in one go. I found the novel really interesting. It did not have the hype and hoolah of Chethan Bhagath's novels, which were becoming Icons of English Fiction of India. And over a period of time, even I forgot about the novel.

Last week, I came across the review of a new Hollywood movie, based in India, called Slumdog Millionaire, and the Plot was so familiar to me.

Yesterday, I watched the movie. If I remeber correctly, the movie version has a different life for the Hero, and hence different set of questions. But they have done a nice job.

Screen Play Writer Chethan Bhagath may kindly refer this movie to understand , how to create good screenplays from books.

Read between the assassinations. Found it to be a very average book. And I've been hearing so many horrible reviews of the white tiger. Booker committee enjoying India bashing? :P

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.opuskali.ru]Viagra Super Active[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
