Hellooo everyone! I just publish a review about Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations and now I will tell you about one of his other books – A Tale of Two Cities. An abridged form of the novel was a part of our English literature syllabus back in grade 8 and I had remember liking the book […]
Shoumyo loved the world and the world loved him back. He was a philanthropist in his own way. The big firms donate a lot of money to charity, but what they miss out on is the sheer joy of seeing the smiles on people’s faces whom you have actually helped. Shoumyo, though, was not deprived of this. Replacing the piece of toffee which a beggar boy had just dropped on the ground was probably as far as his means would allow him. But the true gratitude which he received in return, not even all the world’s money could have bought him. He had no vices, but there was one thing seriously wrong about him. He believed and he trusted. He believed whatever people said to him and trusted everyone he saw. That was his biggest fault.
The story follows his childhood, his acquaintance with an escaped convict whom he helps, his sudden contact with a rich lady, news of him coming into a lot of money, and in the end, losing it. And yes, with a love story too. In short, it is the rise and apparent fall of Mr Pip. But wait, I have not given away the suspense yet.
“Mr. Hercule Poirot – You fancy yourself, don’t you, at solving mysteries that are too difficult for our poor, thick-headed British Police? Let us see, Mr. Clever Poirot, just how clever you can be. Perhaps you’ll find this nut too hard to crack. Look out for Andover, on the 21st of this month.
Yours, etc.,

Mission is to rescue the US General Carnaby, who has been captured by the Nazis and is being held at the headquarters of the German Secret Service – Schloss Adler, a fortress high in the snow-covered Bavarian Alps. General Carnaby is obviously a very important person, but what is more important, is the fact that he has knowledge of the plans for the invasion of Normandy.
This again is an assignment from my art class. The classes were still online. Our teacher had asked us to paint any pair of footwear we could lay our hands on, and I chose this.
Three Singles to Adventure is probably the most unique book I have read till date. First of all, the story begins, not with the first chapter as usual, but with the prelude. Secondly, the book is about two hundred pages long but in reading it, never have I once felt bored. There is always action.
