The N word...
Will Rev. Jesse Jackson be still called "reverend" after using the N word....and moreover where N is no more a Color stuff this time, but an Anatomical stuff....and most importantly if that belongs to the would be most powerful man in the world! Well I fully sympathize with Rev., for he is mere Mortal human being like us..and can surely use the N, S or F word for that matter..but uttering that at a place with live Microphones? Mr Jackson...You must "look before you speak".
The S word...
A R Rahman is great. He is indeed Versatile. He is always experimenting...But to experiment with four letter S words in the most catchy songs he composes...Well it is little bit harder for the parents especially if you have a kid who has an extra "affection" for bollywood songs. So though we could manage Rubaroo well..by skipping the S word right at the beginning..but in his latest chartbuster (Pappu Cant Dance..) no chance of skipping it! By the way this movie (jane tu jane na) is full of regular S words too...and it becomes difficult to exlpain a three year old how come they are escaping scot free even after speaking those dreaded words.

Da Vinci Code...Revisits!
Since past few days was coming across the reviews/interviews etc regarding this new book called "The Last Patriot" which is hitting stores today. Author is Brad Thor who has already a NY Times Bestseller ("The First Amendment") under his belt. I have not read him so far .. but looking at the review and hearing the buzz...it seems his new book is going to cause a stir (and few Fatwas) for sure!
The theme seems very much like Da Vinci Code...just change Christianity with Islam. Though an work of fiction but the author claims that it is based on true facts. So just as in Da Vinci, here prophet Mohamed on his last days "said" something...which if revealed today will be catastrophic for Islam and the highest authorities will go to any extreme to stop this American Navy Seal hero from trying to go to the root and making it public. And in this backdrop Brad says he gives many of startling true facts about Islam and Quran and its history so far unknown to majority of us! Based on the author's interview, I came across this "interesting link" which if true, makes us believe that what the 3rd president of this country Thomas Jefferson dealt with 200 years back..is no way different than what the current US presidents are dealing with!
I am eager to see what more true facts it is going to give us...and finally if it can be as gripping, revealing and shocking as Da Vinci Code or just a mere copycat version of one of the most thriiling novel world has seen so far.
It certainly seems worth $13...and is going to be my next purchase from B&N.
