Written by Yann Martel and has also won the Man Booker Prize in 2002. This revolves around an Indian boy from Pondicherry named  Piscine Molitor Patel or in short 'Pi'. The story is about the survival of Pi after a shipwreck, while stranded on a boat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
I was presented this book on my birthday and when I read the first few pages I was wondering what made it win the Booker. I had kept it aside for almost a month and then when I had no option, began reading it again. Good that I decided to read it else I would have missed all the adventure in the book. Once Pi's journey in the Pacific starts to unfold you will completely get into the character.

One of the amazing thriller books by Sandra Brown. Personally I am one of her fans. This was one of the nail biting mystery books that I have read. Usually whenever I have read 50-70% of a mystery novel, my instinct reveals to me the climax and most of the time it turns out to be true. But this was a book where till I completed 95% of the book, I couldn't guess anything.
It's about a successful magazine editor who is trapped in her remote cabin with a man believed to be a serial killer. The plot unwinds beautifully.

One of the books written by Shivram Karanth for which he won the Jnanapitha Prashasthi. This book is for those with literary interest rather than for those who just want to pass their free time reading a novel. The book basically revolves around a grand lady and her thoughts. She can foresee things and this leads many to doubt her mental status. The character in the book is her grandson and always stands by her and respects her a lot. The way in which the author details the grand lady's thoughts are wonderful.
This book would suit for those who have read ample Kannada books and not for a fresher in Kannada.

Googling for this spice will lead to vast informative results. But what I am sharing here is my personal experience with this. I started using menthe in my routine because of my mother. She is a big fan of this and uses it regularly. I have been regularly eating this from past 6 months. I soak 2 spoons of menthe overnight and consume it first in the morning along with the soaked water.  Once I started using this
1. Have seen reduction in hair fall
2. Has reduced my menstrual cramps
3. Has reduced pain in my back and calf
I cant assure that whoever uses it will see benefits the same way as I have but it will help you improve your health in one way or the other.

Teething is the term used for baby's strong desire to bite on something real hard. This might start as early as 2-3 months. If this desire isn't fulfilled then the baby might become very fussy. Try giving some teethers. When you buy these make sure it rightly satisfies your child's biting needs. It should be such that the baby can easily hold it in its hands and should be able to bite it. We had given our son some of these. Most of them were either too large or too small for him to bite. Some also suggest giving baby carrots. But this did not work well for us. Smooth curved spoons was a favourite teether for our son. Try this, but be careful so that the baby does not hurt himself with it.Another best solution for teething is to play with your kid so that he forgets about his teething. Many of them go for some homeopathy medicines for teething. But my advise would be to first try some of the above methods and if nothing is working only then consult your PD.

I feel Himachal Pradesh and Kerala must have had a tough competition for the title 'God's own country'. I was completely in love with that state when we visited it in September 2009. Every nook and corner is filled with greenery here. As long as you are there the scenic beauty will leave you in a trance.
No No.. I am not the HP tourism minister. :) Its just that living in a busy city like Bangalore you will be in awe watching such beauty.
