5.0 out of 5 stars Magical! 14 July 2013
By Lola Blevins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
What a delight to read Pickwick's Plan to my grandchildren. I could feel their rapt engagement with the characters as the story unfolded; their minds making magical sense of the world of Booga Dooga Land. The Idearoolus Blick, a favorite for all of us, made for lively discussion as we watched ideas plooping into our minds as they came flying toward us! This book is not only a delight for the imagination, but offers an opportunity for children to learn about themselves and the world around them. I highly recommend this book for young children to enj

Have a Holi good time
It’s a festival that involves colour, water and general merriment. And to top that, in India, it has an all-permitting tagline that says ‘bura na mano, Holi hai’ (don’t take offence, it’s Holi). Put Holi and that anything goes tagline together, and there’s bound to be trouble. Nonetheless, Mumbai is busy preparing. After all, it is that one day of the year when all boundaries fade and celebration is all that is on everyone’s mind.
Holi parties are incomplete without Mr Bachchan’s song, ‘Rang barse’ Delicacies are being cooked. Get-togethers are being planned. Mud pits are being dug up. Relationships with friends who have gardens and running water — the most-wanted commodities in this city and state, currently — are being rekindled. Sangria recipes are being tried and tested. Beer is being stocked for that roving gang of strangers that’ll eventually come to your house if you’re the one with the garden. Thandai is also being arranged, of course. Veterans say the secret of sourcing great thandai lies in buying it from the places that make it the freshest.
In pursuit, last year, I was directed to an eatery at Linking Road in Bandra. I was told to ask for a bottle of thandai discreetly. “Smile” was the invaluable tip. The sardarji owner responded positively and assured me his thandai was the best money could buy. The sales pitch that followed, sealed the deal. He had three flavours — Master Blaster, UPA government and Rahul Dravid. “Dry fruits se strength badhti hai, yeh sab strong parties hai ji,” he said. Correct. I went for the Master Blaster, obviously. And the thandai was great; very strong party.
The best part about Holi is that if you don’t look like a troublemaker, you’ll find yourself a celebration to be part of. Last year, a few friends and I happened to find ourselves at a certain Bollywood director’s party in Andheri. The music on the playlist comprised Amitabh Bachchan classics mostly. Some women in chiffon saris in the fake rain were doing their thing. It was interesting Unlike the rest of the year, when you usually even avoid eye contact with your neighbour in the elevator, this one day, you tend to go all out. Maybe it’s the comfort of anonymity, hiding under the colour, or maybe it’s just the freshness of the thandai taking over. It’s great, however you look at it.
Wish you a Holi good time. Previous Story Next Story

CUSTOMER BOOK REVIEW " ALL PURE" BY JOAN TORRES
5.0 out of 5 stars YOUR HEART AND YOUR SOUL DESERVE THIS BOOK..Do not let it escape your life., November 27, 2013 By Joan A. Torres / Vampire-Elite "Vampire-Elite" (Fremont,Ca,USA) - See all my reviews Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: All Pure - Poems of Passion - a tribute to Omar Khayyam (Kindle Edition) I WILL always read an inexpensive book from a prolix author before investing in something more expensive. I loved this book and after reading it made me re-evaluate my life from the very first verse ...basically regretting the death of all the Wise Men who have passed instead of taking advantage of all of the Wise souls among us.
I am a catholic but not to the extent that my dedication to my religion does not allow me to accept and even change some of the views of my personal beliefs - this book has done it. Well Done....
