The Lost Symbol

Like every other Dan Brown fan I went on pursuit to obtain my own copy of the latest LOST SYMBOL & I got it even though the summary didn't intrigue me much...hey what can I say i trust Brown, not to let me down and now that I have finished the book I can say am not disappointed. I know most critics would disagree with me but from the point of reader who wants just a bit of fun, entertainment, thrill with a dash of huma nity, values and conduct this book is perfect. Brown somehow manages to bring all these aspects together in some 500 odd pages and from where I stand I would call it pure talent. Granted the book is not one of his best so far but it has so many underlying values that an avid reader would never miss.
For eg: The small neglect a parent shows (even unknowingly) can be dangerous to a child. No matter how many discoveries we modern humans make our ancestors were always a step ahead of us. Whatever the science may claim there exists a force in this universe that cannot be measures - The Power of a Human Mind at its laser point concentration.
Even after reading the book I hadn't realized how our ancestors had much more advanced knowledge than us, but a good friend of mine got me out of my ignorance. I would have gladly explained to you in detail but that would be wrong to Brown's suspense I think readers should read his version first hand. The gist of it is however a character in the novel tries out a very astounding procedure (an experiment), one which I assumed very less people have ventured to do was actually practiced by out ancient forefathers (Even though the book didn't say that particular message). That in itself says Brown writes the facts the we people forgot through the passage of time. But nevertheless its not too late.... instead of contemplating whether Brown managed the suspense well or was the secret revealed, great and conspiratorial we could actually look into the depths of this book and understand there are no secrets hiding, they are there staring at our faces only we show a blind eye to them.

No matter what the reviews have said about THE LOST SYMBOL I know i have made a worth while investment

My puppy wish!

Well like any other gal i had a childhood dream....to own a dog! I have asked my parents in every way possible (Beg, plead,threats) but nothing worked, not that they didn't like dogs or anything, they just said dogs are not for our household so instead they got me fishes!! then recently, couple of weeks back to be precise, i heard the tiny little bark. I jumped off my bed and went to my balcony to see who this new visitor was. Down below in my street running around the red leash that was tied to its tiny little neck was a cutest thing i have ever seen, a Labrador pup brown color. After admiring the view from my balcony i gave a huge sigh and wished again(I do that whenever i see a Dog!) for the thousandth time for that puppy to be mine, but it was my neighbor's. They are like world's or maybe just my street's biggest animal lovers. They already have a couple of other dogs, foreign breed, and few cats and fishes too!! This little pup seemed to be a new addition to their animal family....i mean animal loving family!!

That very evening i again heard its tiny joyous bark and went to my point of view (my balcony) only to find my parents playing with the puppy! Seeing me my dad called me down to see the puppy, since it was the only chance am likely to get i rushed downstairs to play with it. The puppy's name was Brute! I was shocked, the dog and its name were miles apart, if it were my dog i would have called him Buddy or Benny not BRUTE!

But slowly i changed my mind, as the pup definitely can be a Brute. It mostly tried to chew off its leash or use nearby toes as a tooth filer!! But it was still gorgeous. When it didn't let go of my mom's toe she teasingly asked "Brute, would you like to come with us?" The dog thumped its tail in a sort of approval i suppose but the surprising thing was the owner, my animal loving neighbor aunt bubbled with the same eagerness. "You may take him, for free!" she announced, much to my astonishment. It was too good to be true, I mean there is no way my parents would take the dog, free or not! But instead i heard my mom say "If its OK with you...I would love to take him in" and looked at my dad who nodded his approval.

Ok, I thought this is most definitely a dream, ill wake up any minute. (I forgot to pinch myself and verify, what can i say i was in SHOCK!) So i just trailed behind my mother only to find something pulling me back. I looked to down to see that Brute bright red leash was in my hands and the dog most certainley wanted to play. I somehow managed to drag him to our house and my mom announced "Brute, this is your new home!" Brute took off to sniff out his new territory and promptly decided that the clean, sweet smelling, air condition room as its privated LOO! "Oh no!" my mom wailed and looked at me with a Its-yours-too-clean look. Since am the dog fan in the house its is my responsibilty. My mom never gave me any dirty jobs before in my life but she abosolutely didn't make a move to clean the puppy droppings!!

After just one night of entertaining it, feeding it, cleaning after it, I realised i was not good at the job. The neaxt day all of us would have to work and I can just imagine the havoc Brute can create if left alone. The next morning I woke up early to take Brute for his morning walk so he couldn't dirty the house anymore. I clearly heard my mom mumbling something about rain and me getting early but i pretended not to hear! Once outside he never wanted to get in. He tore at every toe or shoes he came across the road, nearly got himslef run down by a bus (That's when i completey lost it!) that i decided it wasn't my kinda hobby! I tied him up and he started to whine and I couldnt tie him anymore! My mom gave me a knowing look and we both gave the dog back to our neigbor. We loved him but we didnt have the time to care for him.

When i Got back back my dad had a "I told you so" wriitten all over his face and i realised why they said a dog was not for our household.

Moral: When your parents say you are to avoid certain things, belive them and listen. Its quite hard to accept but the fact is they have experince and wisdom, while we have only dreams and wishes! Sometimes I wonder if my parents got that dog to teach me a lesson or something!

Friendship & Love

Well its quite a common topic to write about am sure…but still it doesn't hurt to write down some of my grievings.

Am a girl who considers friendship the most valuable thing in my life. But as it happens i always get thwarted by it. Friendship is supposedly the only support for love but in many cases i have seen that once love gets settled its doesn’t even give a customary glance back at friendship.

Its quite hard for me to say that personally i have seen Love break up two people and leave at least one of them bitter. Couple of gals i know where inseparable right from their middle school. They were two different people with different attitudes different goals one of them Soft & Sensitive but the other Hard & Practical but they where best befriends… soul mates. It so happened that when they where in college the sensitive one fell in love for the first and last time with her Mr . Right, but it wasn't easy the guy had to court her for long and of course Miss Practical friend helped them out. In the end..as they say true love always wins.

But then…….

A lifelong friendship gets second place. Miss Practical dint like the fact that she was only a secondary importance in her best friend’s life. A friend who was always by her side when the world stood against her. Loneliness can be handled but to feel lonely when you are in crowd of people who call themselves your friends is a worst nightmare. Miss Practical dint have any Mr Rights to keep her company and all her friends including her so called Best Friend had things better to do. I saw the bitterness that crept into that gal from then on. She found fault with all the things that her once best friend did. Finally bitterness turned to downright hatred…then finally the where best friends no more.

By observing all this i did realize that no body can keep love and friendship in the same platform and survive the emotional drama that will surely unfold. I realize now that no matter in which place your friend puts you she will always be your friend no Mr Right can change the fact. If you really feel that your friendship is strong than don't worry about it when she doesn’t wish you first on your birthday, when she is not able to keep up a appointment with you. Its not your friends fault that she suddenly stooped her attentions on you. In her/his shoes you’ll probably do the same thing. No matter how much farther your friend moves away from you because of love, remember that one day she’ll need your friendship more than anything and when that day comes you’ll prove to all that no matter how much you push friends away when you stop and turn back they will always be there right behind you.

Love is always a tricky platform, it demands too much attention and in the end if your lucky enough you would have made the right choice and live happily ever after.

Friendship is something that relates you to another for no good reason, it needs attention but never demands it. Its happy with what it gets but doubles the amount of love when needed. And friends will always…no matter what disaster strikes live happily ever after.

Friends this is my personal experience with my own best friend. So all you friends out there Give away all your love and expect nothing in return from your friend as that is the true essence of friendship.
