Yet another Majid Hussain's book finished, yet another Denzel Washington movie watched, yet another Ashes lost by Kangaroos in Old Blighty and yet another ghost of partition revisited in freeIndia.
Evolution of Geographical Thought by Majid Hussain is actually a history of geography from the Early Egyptians, Phoenicians, Indians, Chinese, Greeks, Romans to the modern Kant, Humboldt, Ritter and Karl Marx. Quite an informative book and it suits perfectly to my aspirations. 7/10.
Man on Fire (2004)
I am becoming an addict to the Denzel Washington's movies day by day. I rate this movie second only to The Great Debaters. A Bollywood movie named Ek Ajnabee was made on the same story acted by Amitabh Bachchan and just like all other Bollywood movies Amitabh Bachchan stays alive while Denzel Washington had to die. 7.5/10.
England is able to regain the Ashes after 2 years. Last time when it lost the difference was 0-5 to mighty Australians. This time Australia is no Goliath and England is no David. This was the series between the equals and as they say who dare wins. Congratulations England and best of luck Andrew Flintoff to you future endeavours. You have been a great entertainer :) a terrific player produced by England in the average lot.
The ghost of Jinnah is living again and this time Jaswant woke him up. I simply don't understand the logic behind writing this book. Last time when he wrote his "Call to honour", he created a hullabaloo by saying that "there is a mole in Prime Minister Office". This time he is saying that Jinnah was secular. Even if Jinnah was secular, what difference he makes now? He is sleeping in his grave after dying from TB why wake him up. Do you want another partition? ;). On a serious note, Jinnah was a great Indian and it was the fault of Congress to lose Jinnah to the Muslim fundamentalist party known as Muslim League those days.
Signing off till i write again.
