GeeBaby: Tchin Tchin
http://geebaby.blogspot.com/2009/08/tchin-tchin.html
Monday, August 03, 2009. From 2004 to 2009, I've attended five 14 juillet soirées organised by Alliance Française de Poona. I started the journey in 2004 as a new student lost in the crowd, painfully awkward and bored stiff due to lack of company. I still didn't know many people but sure had fun with. Times like this, I am most tempted to pinch myself and check if this butterfly is the same Plain Jane. Posted by G Shrivastava. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Getting Plainer By The Day.

Thursday, August 31, 2006. Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood (1996). The historical details and characters did the trick this time – read it if you have a taste for historical novels with strong characters, and if you have a feel for Canada’s social, spiritual and political history. Links for Extra Reading :-. Letter written in 1843 describing the murder. Grace Mark’s interview after she was released from prison. Posted by G Shrivastava. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

And The Japanese Bridge.

But this post isn’t about Monet, it’s about. Rejecting the idea of formal beauty as seen in the Salon nudes with their rosy...

Literary Mosaic: Leisure
http://literarymosaic.blogspot.com/2009/09/leisure.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. WHAT is this life if, full of care,. We have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs,. And stare as long as sheep and cows:. No time to see, when woods we pass,. Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:. No time to see, in broad daylight,. Streams full of stars, like skies at night:. No time to turn at Beauty's glance,. And watch her feet, how they can dance:. No time to wait till her mouth can. Enrich that smile her eyes began?

Literary Mosaic: A Fairy Tale
http://literarymosaic.blogspot.com/2008/10/fairy-tale.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. On winter nights beside the nursery fire. We read the fairy tale, while glowing coals. Builded its pictures. There before our eyes. We saw the vaulted hall of traceried stone. Uprear itself, the distant ceiling hung. With pendent stalactites like frozen vines;. And all along the walls at intervals,. Curled upwards into pillars, roses climbed,. And ramped and were confined, and clustered leaves. Divided where there peered a laughing face. To stain the tessellated marble floor.

Thursday, October 02, 2008. A Tale of Two Cities. There was once upon a time, in a big city, a colony of fish who lived in a pretty plain little aquarium on a bedside table. There were three couples - goldfish, angelfish and shark. They lived in mutual harmony, swimming around the tank peacefully, with no reason for any discord. They were fed, they had plenty of fresh water, air and light. The next day brought even more alarming changes in the tiny colony. The goldfish, being gentle creatures decided...

Friday, March 21, 2008. The Robber Bride - Margaret Atwood (1993). Margaret Atwood’s The Robber Bride. Offers us a feminist version of the fairy-tale The Robber Bridegroom.

The story starts at a restaurant named Toxique. Where three unlikely friends meet up for their monthly lunch - Tony. Would I recommend the book?

http://geebaby.blogspot.com/2009/11/rudderless-again.html
Wednesday, November 04, 2009. Posted by G Shrivastava. I think some people need change more than others do. and 4 yrs is quite enough to warrant change. Dont feel bad! Rather you can think of what other track you can travel on. It would probably help if you complete your sentence, .rudderless and adrift in search of that sense of pleasure and satisfaction. Again.
