PIGS HAVe WINGS!!!

After  having  browsed  through  our  generation  writings,  it  was  a  great  change  going  through  one  of  the  Best  19th  century readers  P.G.Wodehouse!! He's got a fascinating writing style & it was great fun & I loved it$


CHARACTERS:




  • Galahad Threepwood (Gally)                   

  • Lady Constance (Connie)

  • Penny Donaldson

  • Jerry Vail

  • Lord Emsworth

  • Maudie (Mrs.Burnsnbury)

  • Lord Vosper

  • Gloria Salt

  • Sebastian Beach the Butler

  • Sir Gregory Parsloe

  • Binstead

  • George Cyril Wellbeloved

  • The Empress (Lord Emsworth's Pig)

  • Queen of Matchingham (Sir Gregory's Pig)


GIST :

This story is all about the Pig contests that used to be famous in the olden days. The story revolves around the 2 Families, The "Emsworth" family of  Blandings Castle & The "Parsloes" of  The Matchingham Hall. It goes about like this. The "Empress" has been the winner of the conquest for the past 2 years. But, Sir Gregory Parsloe who's been the runner now imports "The Queen of Matchingham" & Challenges Lord Emsworth about his assured Victory the present year.

So the story is all about how Galahad steals Gregory of his pig & how Gregory retaliates to it & finally everything ends well for the Emsworth Family. In between this pig story there is many a love stories that go on in the Blandings Castle between,

  • 'Penny Donaldson'  of the Royal Family & 'Jerry Vail' an author who is yet to make his Fortunes.

  • 'Gloria Salt' a tennis player & 'Lord Vosper' a tennis player & also engaged to Penny Donaldson.

  • 'Maudie' a widower & X-Lover of Gregory  & 'Gregory Parsloe' who was engaged with Glorai Salt.


Thus, the story is all about how these 3 pairs confirm their soul-mates after going through a series of tests  & difficulties & finally find their Right Match.

  • Lady Constance is a woman who expects things to be speck & clean. (Trying to Rule & Guide the Family)

  • Galahad a person of Extra-ordinary temperament & an Extrovert readily solves all problems & finds loopholes to convince Connie.

  • Lord Emsworth - a widower, fond of Pigs & thinks of nothing as life but winning the Contest year after year with "The Empress".

  • Beach, Wellbeloved & Binstead - butler of the 2 Royal families who play a very great part in the stealing & replacement of the pigs (esp. the former 2) along with Galahad who's the plan-maker.


Thus, that makes an overall gist about the story of how finally the 'Made for Each other' gets 2gether inspite of all difficulties & how the Best Truimphs in the end. #A story when read is Enjoyable not because of the contents but of its way oof writing# But not an Excellent Finishing! Otherwise Worth a Read or 2!!!!

5 POINT SOMEONE!!!

This book has recently taken some of my time amidst my busy schedule!! "Five Point Someone" by Chetan Bhagat is a book on wat "Not to Do in IIT". It talks about the lives of 3 students who with great difficulties reach the doorsteps of  'The IIT' with great pride only to end up as "5 Pointers!!" The Bollywood movie "3 Idiots" is almost a Replica of this book, but the film has its own beauty  just as the book has it own admirable subtle details!




IIT- the Best Institution in India for B.E. & B.Tech courses also aims at doing  nothing but having BRAIN DRAIN as  consequences. This is how the author  starts his story by complaining about    the IIT credit system (probably      because he messed up with his      grades!!!) :P  The story  starts with 3  novice students getting introduced 2    each other in a really weird manner            & its all about the Friendship that  blossoms amongst them during their          4 yrs stay in the campus!! This story  deals more with the human feelings    than the usual $'IIT Mechanical            Mind System'$

 

'5 Point Someone'  is a mixture of

THE Baddies

  • Bunking Classes

  • Copy Assignments

  • Date the Prof's daughter

  • Steal the question papers to get an 'A'

  • C2D (The author calls it 'Co-Operate 2 Dominate'), where the 6 subjects r split as 2 for each of the 3 (prob 2 get screwed in the other subj.)

  • Attend vivas with vodka to boost u up


THE Goodies

  • The Depth of Friendship

  • Love over Lust

  • Keeping up Responsibilties as a son/daughter

  • Be a human than being a m/c

  • Finally be 'A Master of ur Work, not a Slave'


Overall, this book comments on "Do the Don'ts in the IIT"  & the Pleasure & Pain that comes from it!! The '3 heroes' probably 'The 3 Idiots' of our story 'Hari, Alok & Ryan' do all 'Thillalangadi' probably setting an example on 'How not to live in the IIT'! Overall the book was a Pleasure to Read, let alone the little drawbacks that are suppressed once the climax is read# It is worth a Read!!!

POWeR RaNGeRS!!!!!

                          Power Rangers one of my favourite tv programme when I was a Kid, Still inspires many kiddos making them think that "Super heroes" really exist(though this Generation is very sharp not to believe in myths)!!! I used 2 come early from school just to watch "Jack" from "SPD" & "Vida" from "MYSTIC FORCE" perform their fantabulous stunts (They r my fav characters), ofcourse They Obviously needed their TEAM support!

How I Always wanted 2 be a Power Ranger when I was a Kid, but then I realised



BEING A POWER RANGER doesn't jus need Colourful Dresses and Superficial Powers, It jus that You NEED 2 Be


"BRAVE HEARTED & NOBLE MINDED"


We could All be Power Rangers doing our Duties Humbly & being Brave & Helping others Without Xpectin anything in Return$

Hitchhikin!!!!!!!

A week ago I came by this article, I found it very interesting & just wanted 2 share it!

"Andrea was a lady in her mid 30's returnin from her work from London to Brookbourne. She's been livin in Brookebourne for the past 4 yrs. Its already 11 p.m. & the weather is quite Breezy. Andrea feels cold & lonely.

As she's driving she finds an old lady hitchhiking which she finds very strange at that time of the day. Her loneliness makes her lend a helping hand to the hitchhiker though it is considered Dangerous esp. at late nights!!

The old lady just gets in with a heavy bag & when on inquiry about her where-abouts replies that she is OFF 2 see her old friend in Brookebourne with groceries for he had just had a car breakdown & so she had decided to hitchhike!!

But the OLD LADY speaks from under her hat without facing Andrea in her eyes. Andrea has a suspicious feeling about the stranger & notices that the stranger has 'Hairy arms'. In sometime she realises that the 'Old Lady' was not actually an 'Old lady' but a man!!!!!

She comes up with a Quick plan & pretends to have hit a child and asks the stranger to just check it out. Once the stranger gets OFF the car, she jus raises at high Speed. After having travelled quite some Distance she remembers about the bag and Opens it & SCREAMS!!!!!!

 

 

FOR IN THAT BAG THERE WAS AN AXE FILLED WITH BLOOD!!!!!!!!

BON VOYAGE!!!

2 months ago,there was a friend of mine, her name being Tina, who was very upset abt her sudden transition from becoming a high school gal to a 'college gal'. I jus asked her, "Hey thr Tina, Howz ur new lyf(col) goin ON!!" I indeed asked her with so much eXpectations!

And she was like,"OMG! Its horrible, Don't ask me abt it#"

I was like, "Y!!!Isn't it time to be enjoyin n ur like!!!!"

"Enjoying! U woudn't say dat if u were in my place. My school was so Heavenly. There was so much fun, love n affection. It was my 2nd Home! But this isn't!! I had multiple roles to play thr, 'As a student, leader, sportsman', n so much more! Here its All just ' Studying'% If u think I'm Blowing my own Trumpet, No I'm not. This is how I feel, Totally screwed up! (No games, No cutting classes) n wats more they cal it a College!"so sayin she broke up with a thud!

What am I to say to such a gal whose just moved into Real life and starting with it All so Negatively! If I say,"I know how you feel" (like many others do at such situations), I'm sure I'm gonna be lying. So I decided to tell her the Universal Truth,"Life has to go ON dear, Keep moving fwd with a Hope for the Better or indeed Best!"

And now after two months, she called me around sometime yesterday, sayin, "I know my college is not gonna be my school. Things have taken a turn n so Have I! I'm egttin used to it! n U knw wat, Things & People aren't  bad as I thought! n Thanks for ur advice-'LIFE HaS 2 Go ON', I'll Keep Movin Fwd, Tc, Bye."

And Here's to All the 1st year students, Take Life Positive. School Life is just a Brush-through. Now is where ur Real life Starts

BON VOYAGE!!!

Mind Mass!!!

Did You Know!!!

You need to TRUST your Brain for it to Work!! Believe it or not Our Brain is Innumerable Times Powerful than the Computer we Trust!

This is not a Joke! Our Brain is Capable of Storing 10,000 times(even more) information than a computer! Ofcourse your doubt would be 'Whether it can Reproduce it'. Ofcourse it is Capable of that too! Our Brains can Reproduce the Information we Store even Quicker than a computer 'Provided' We TRAIN it Well!

In the Rising times, everybody is behind a Calculator even for simple calculations!!! "Mind Power" is the Best of God's Creations! If only a Human could Master His Brains, he is also capable of mastering the World!!!

A perfect Eg. for miracles of Mind Power would be "The Edward Hughes Story"!!!!
