A dream

      The mist in front moved away , and I walked over the grass field still damp with the dew settled in , making my bare feet wet and muddy . A single tree , caught my attention with its shiny red fruits glowing in the early morning sun . The field was empty except for that tree . I strolled towards it , taking in the beauty of each moment . Closer I went and realized it was an apple tree . I stood there thinking if it was the tree from the book I read recently . Hoping it will move away when I touched , as it did in the book , I went near it and placed my hands on its shiny smooth barks , gently . It didn’t move . Glad with the thought it was not the one from the book I reached for an apple .  To my surprise the apple dropped down from the branch and flew away . “How extraordinary!”,I thought . Soon , the apple came back towards me and started circling me . Astonished and happy , I stood there smiling , wondering what it is going to do . The other apples followed it and finally all

I wish to be Gifted

     Never had I been this interested in a book . Never before , did a book leave me asking for more . Never did I expect a book that wasn’t a best seller to enthrall me .  It was Lisa.T.Bergren's . A religious historical thriller . The first book in the series – A novel of the gifted , The Begotten is an appealing story with historical detail that will take you slowly but effectively into its plot and will have you cheering and asking for more . It is not a usual book that you may come across with some drama , some over etched fantasy and dumb action . This book is different and portrays faith in such a way that it gets into you .                                         Now , after this I have been searching for the next two books in the series but in vain . I am an audiobook guy and this book is not available as one . Thanks to my friend who gave me the first book . I have been trying to buy the other books with no luck . Hope , I find them (at cheap rates ;-)  ) , soon .

Google Plus - Ya or Na ??

               " I need an invite " , ""Please send me an invite " , were the anxious crowd when G+ stepped into the battle arena of social networking sites , and taking a head on fight directly with the master - fb . People were cheering in favour of G+ . The mere excitement of seeing something new and that too from google , made the crowd go behind G+ .  I was also a part of that mob.                 So what does G+ have in special ?? More privacy , Circles (cosmetic effects is'nt gonna do any good ) , and so on an so forth , but nothing unique . A friend of mine just commented that , G+ is nothing but fb's clone .  The only main attraction of G+ was the video chat room facility named Hangout . That is a real deal maker .                 There were jokes and funny cartoons of fb going down and G+ touted to rule the social world . But i don't see that coming . It is only those who dared to try the new , flocked around G+ . Many do  not  fi
