Hi all..
I finished reading "Anne Frank:The diary of a young girl". For more info visit this site.
Oh my God, what was that feeling I got when I read that book,it was just a diary of a
young girl, but when it hits you that this was the diary of a girl who was gonna die a horrible death shortly, before even turning 16, it was different.
And I used to hate Hitler, before too. Bu the hatred has intensified after reading the book, especially the afterword of the book. What non-sense, anti-semitism, holocaust and all.
Next I've started the book Autobiography of Lee Iacocca.
The project is going on well. As a chill out, we had fun at Rama's party yesterday at The Residency.Shall post pics of the party, I got a few of them already, but I dont look good in any of them(Ahem, the lighting is not good in those pics u see, so lemme wait for other pics to come)
By the way, I've put up a new poll.Do check out.
What are the advantages or plus points of Windows Longhorn over XP..any idea?
Ok then ..wish u all a happy new year. Let all your dreams come true.(just in case, a post doesn't come on new year or tomorrow:-))
Buh Byee

Wish you a very happy and prosperous new year which brings you good health and more peace!
Cheers!

Yes, its quite sad. I've read it too.. found it too sick and depressing in the middle, but just cudnt put the book down. Try watching WW-II movies if u really wanna hate hitler. Like Pianist, Schindlers list or Untergang der. Beautiful movies.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New year.. what? Another post?? Your blogging frequency is increasing exponentially :P Good good.. for vettis like me, its nice timepass.. :D Have a blast! And keep blogging.
almost forgot.. Also dont go for longhorn now itself. I think only the beta version has been released. Also most of the softwares might not be compatible with Longhorn. One can never say. XP rocx.. else go for linux.. mandrake 9.0 or Fedora Core 4.
I've read Anne Frank almost 10 years back. Definitely one of the best books i've ever read. No wonder it moves all our heart. After all, arent they true words from a true diary and not a fiction?!
Ok. So you hate Hitler? Try reading Mein Kampf. Hitler's story is a story of how an ordinary person goes on to become the most powerful man on earth. He is a war veteran, a great elocutionist, an artist and an architect. Lemme me ask u this, do u have the power to start a world war??
Even thought ppl say he killed people, in fact poisoned people, imagine his power... imagine that kind of command, which can be put to good use in modern world. I hate what he brought to this world, but i admire his personality, nevertheless!

Have a Happy 2006 Divya. May God bless you and your family for a wonderful and safe new year.
Just this august holiday, i had visited Amsterdam and went to Anne Frank house. Every room, the walls, the tree which she saw for 2 years are all being preserved, and believe me it is such a soul stirring experience.
In my september 2005 archives, have got 3 travlogue posts on the Netherlands visit.
and a very happy new year!!
Sujit>>Hey yeah..perhaps i shd take a break into fiction from biogrPHIES...but these are more interesting...N wish u a happy new

Ok..am not goin for longhorn right now..lets wait for sometime....
Anand&Narasimhan>>Ya, I've read a concise version of his autobiography in RD, ever since wanted to read the book..
HItler....the IF is not just a big IF...a tremendously gigantic IF, that meant life or death for millions of human beings just like us.... How ever great he was, and whatever his vision was, the path that he took to reach der, atleast the holocaust part of it, is definitely barbaric...How can a guy hate a whole bunch of people so much? he was simply a man without balance in his values..and i sincerely hope he's serving lucifer in hell....
Power is not THE only thing...
Sathya>>yeah man..last week was a week of parties...3 in all...cool na..."talking straight" ..waz dat abt actualy...
