Nikola Tesla: Imagination and the Man That Invented the 20th CenturyNikola Tesla: Imagination and the Man That Invented the 20th Century by Sean Patrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The content about Tesla was all too good, and inspiring. But i felt the beginning and end chapter spoke too much about imagination in a very abstract manner, which was a very tough page turner for me..

On the whole, the concise life of Tesla in a nutshell was an interesting read.

சுடாதே...: Sudadhe... (Tamil)

சுடாதே...: Sudadhe... by Maheshwaran Jothi My rating: 2 of 5 stars I volunteered to read this book and received it as a free copy, in exchange for an honest review. A typical mystery.. Three people get going in three different directions, and magically come together at the end.... But something is lacking.... The character development of the book was good but inadequate. All the characters were very interesting and entertaining. Sudadhe.. was an interesting page-turner. However, the ending let me down. I found the personality of the protagonist too haughty, and the investigation was not satisfactorily logical. View all my reviews

Hi All, It is time to finally say “”Farewell” to all those near and dear in the last four years of my life at Cognizant, of which today is the very last! A journey from Academy, through Lexis Nexis, American Express and finally John Lewis Partnership and Waitrose ends here. “It’s impossible” said pride, “It’s risky” said experience, “It’s pointless” said reason, “Give it a try” whispered the heart. J As am moving to another company as a French Language Specialist, in pursuit of happyness, I am here to bid my final Adieu. Academy (Apr 26, 2010 - Aug 12,2010) Days when https://mail.cognizant.com was a vital means for exchanging code and ensuring you have a copy that gives the right output with “javac filename.java” J Dumps were the heart and soul of clearing the Module Tests and Dovetails. We spent more of our brains trying to hide away the dumps rather than remembering the answers: P …. Thanks to Sumera and OAT for being available for me to lament when lament...

Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard

Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard by Kiran Desai My rating: 5 of 5 stars This however is an ill-fitting finish to a marvelous masterpiece Dear Kiran Desai, This is by far, one the best hilarious books I have brought myself to read in a long time. I completely enjoyed it. Having devoured "The Inheritance of Loss" a long time back, I can't imagine why I procrastinated this long to lay hands on this chef-d'oeuvre The work of fiction vaguely reminds one of RK Narayan's "The Guide", and briefly transports us into the pages of Thoreau's 'Walden', nonetheless, humor reigns supreme. The true to life descriptions of the expectations from Indian bride's - to be able to sing and dance, but never to be practiced after marriage, or that she was expected to be always shy when talking of husband and children, are a few dew drops in the ocean of interesting facts laid down bare to the reader. The invention of human bite is also note-worthy. The story i...
