One bright summer morning


This time I’m going to discuss with you about the book “One bright summer morning “which is written by James Hadley chase. Eh! – yes the same man who was the competitor of Writer sujatha in 197 0 - 1980s in Tamil nadu.

I’m searching for this book more than 4 months. Because, I would like to know,

Who is this James hardly chase?

What are all the books that he written?

Is he really equal to my man (sujatha)? - My answer for this question is at the end of this article.

I got this book from my brother. He told me very very clearly “other than the climax, the book will be good for you.” – So I started this book with a bad impression!

This book starts with Victor Dermott’s who is a drama writer. He stayed in a resort for a few days with his family members to write his next book. Unfortunately, a gang entered into his house with a kidnapped girl. They asked victor to demand the x amount from the father of that kidnapped girl! – This is the three line of this story :-)

Because, they don’t want their names to be known by anyone!
The perfect kidnap plan, the team forming, money to be demand with that girl’s daddy, responsibilities of each people in the team, etc would be taken care by a guy who was once a great smuggler and brain of this kidnap. Name of that guy is ?????? – get it from that book :-)

All the characters have been perfectly framed by the author. Especially the sr. police guy (Inspector j dennison) who probed this case, that old team member of that smuggler (Mo segathi), that beautiful girl (eh! find the name from book :-) ) and the body builder guy who was part of the smuggling team.

Some of the places I amazed about the writing! – Especially during the kidnap, that old team member’s planning. When police came there suddenly, at that time handling the things by that girl in kidnapped team and conversation was very nice!

I read this book in 3.5 hrs – very very fast and interesting book! Moving the story with the same tempo was very nice! – But it is missing in the last 40 pages!

During the important stage that smuggler cum brain of this kidnap died! – What the hell is this! The book started boring from this place -(

As I said, sorry my brother said in starting, the same final comment I would also like to share “other than the climax, the book will be good for you.”
Please read it! – Hari

Oh sorry! – Answer for the question asked in the starting, no one is equal to sujathaaaa!

The Alchemist


This time I come-up with a book which is in the list of world’s most sold books. As of my knowledge, already 70 million copies of this book are already sold.

The Alchemist - This book is written by the Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho. Already we have shared a review of this writer’s book “The Witch of Portobello”.

Do you know the meaning for the word alchemist? - If you know it already, please proceed the reading. If you don’t know, please find the meaning for the word before proceeding.

A boy named Santiago, a shepherd boy, who is trying to find his treasure located in pyramids. Coelho explained this story in the eyes of Santiago (the boy). The boy has a dream and started his journey with more interest and courage to get it. He is travelling in the deserts with more joy and curiosity to get his dream and seeing so many type of people and getting wisdom from others words and he himself.

Whether the boy’s tireless efforts made him to achieve the treasure? – That is the one line of this story.

During his journey, he met a lady who is teaching gyphs, a king who always used to say "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true" & teaching him the real meaning for the word “wisdom and dream” – this made the boy to concentrate & creating confident to find his dream…

And a shop owner who gave him the money by getting efforts from the boy and saying his dream is yet not fulfilled. This is making the boy to think to that he should be in the list of people who achieved their dream & found their treasure.

The English man who is travelling with him searches the alchemists who are living in the deserts more than 200 yrs. The boy finally falls in love with the girl named fathima, she is also giving him more confident and send him to find his treasure. This is where the writer makes everyone to think “what is that treasure? Whether he finds it?” - Please read the story and find the answer.

Before finishing, I would like to tell a word that there is one more person who was
Travelling with the boy in the final days of his journey and teaching him what is the alchemist, where to find them, how they will look like, whether you are fulfilling all the steps properly to find you treasure, etc. Who is that man – find him in the book!

When you are reading this book, I’m sure you will find lot of interesting sentences, things, people, place & more.

This book makes you to understand the importance of your dream, happiness that will come when you get your treasure; it gives you a feel that you are reading a novel and a book to teach you to find your dreams! - Hari

Ponniyin Selvan


Sorry for the small gap in discussing novels. Thanks for the people who sent the appreciation mails to me.

This time we are going to discuss about a book from the legendary writer of tamil Kalki. He is very famous for his historical novels. All the senior people in our houses are familiar with this man. His historical novels will make you to feel that you are living with horses & palaces with colorful world of ancient south India

His amazing novels like - Ponniyin Selvan, Parthiban Kanavu & Sivagamiyin Sabadham should be in the books list “Books you should read before you die” This time the discussion is on “Ponniyin Selvan”, which according to me is an epic in tamil. Read the below small review / discussion and enjoy reading – Hari
------------------------------------------------------
The 5 part book by kalki is being made into 12 part pdfs, 2 pdfs for each part except the fifth one which comprises of four parts (2+2+2+ 2+4 = 12 – mathematical genius!!!). At first I thought 12 pdfs!!! Oh man.. this will take my life time. Then started counting the pages. It came to 1495 (oh!!! god…). Then I decided to give it a chance (padichuthan pappom..). When I finished the first part (aaaai… not the entire first part.. first pdf i.e. 1st part of 1st part!!!), I couldn’t resist to open the next pdf (appo summer vacation – summa than irunthaen). After that whenever I finish a pdf, automatically my mouse will click open the next one. Any of you have the opinion that only English novelist can keep the suspense and thrill all the way, please do change it. Out of the authors I came across (romba konjam than.. irunthalum..), I would say Kalki is the master of suspense. I am pretty sure that none of us can predict the characterization of any of the character in the novel.

I can give you samples. But I don’t want to spoil the suspense but do watch the character aazhvarkadiyan nambi. Nadhini, Anandan, and the lead “Ponniyin Selvan” Mr. Arul Mozhi Thevar (later known as Raja Raja Cholan) all are mysteries. Mystery na unga veetu enga veetu mystery illa. Top class mystery. Out of the cheap thrillers and suspenses widely spread nowdays, this one is a genuine thriller.

The story is a complex one but handled very well so that the readers wont get bored or lost somewhere. The way the story being told is also innovative. The title role is not the lead role. Vandiyathevan plays the lead whereas “Ponniyin Selvan” (cauvery mavan) is Arul Mozhi. The framing of the story, the way the author describes the scenes and scenarios, the characterization every thing makes this novel a remarkable one. If this man had not died in 1954 (I suppose), then tamil could have seen some more of his skills. Live fast, die young seemed to be the motto of Kalki and he left the tamil literature soon.

The Witch of Portobello


This time I came with a book THE WITCH OF PORTOBELLO, very interesting book from the Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho. He fought with his own family to attain this place. He was interested to become a writer. But his family was with the engineering industry and his family wanted him to make his career with the legacy business. But finally the writer win and his book been part of this blog.

In the words of Paulo Coelho, enabled his readers to judge by themselves the value of the book. This direct contact is, in his view, the best bet for literature. - Hari

Few weeks back, I got the opportunity of getting “The Witch Of Portobello” for free. Not a used one but a fresh copy (smell of the paper print is still there!!!) from my sister. I started reading it when going to office and also while returning. At first I started jus to pass time during a journey. Couple of days passed. I almost started loving that habit as well as the book. The reason behind is the way of story telling. “The Witch Of Portobello”, written by Paulo Coelho, a brazilian writer, is the story of Athena, a Romanian Woman told by many who know her or hardly at all. Athena was born in Romania, brought up in Lebanon and died in London. The author leaves the character of Athena to the narrator’s perception. Everyone shares their view on Athena which makes us to decide her nature. Athena, a woman who is dissatisfied with what she have an do, goes in search of her enlightment. She plays the roles of an adopted orphan, a confused virgin, working single mother and atlast “The Mother”.

Along with the story, the author walks us through the blood flooded streets of Middle east. It questions our way of living. The author puts forth the question of whether we love what we do. Is everyone living a lie? Some may disagree (including me!!!) the elements author used to explain the way of realizing ourselves. But the story has strong conversations and expressions. Heron Ryan, a journalist says, “No one places the hands of those who destroy them. No one, that is, but Athena”. The chapters in which Athena goes in search of her birth mother who abandoned her portrays the love of a mother on her daughter and vice versa through silence. The story starts with Athena being murdered and goes along with each chapter being the perception of a person about Athena. The author correlates everything and succeeds at the end. The novel ends with a suspense which is unexpected. In general, the book is like a balakumaran novel, directed by K. Balachander (not like the recent ones.. like the ones as “varumayin niram sigappu”) which is controversial as well as commercial. It’s a personality development material in the form of a novel - Balaji
