Poetry by me : Love

Love is to live, love is to give,

Love is to believe, love is to forgive.

Love makes you cry, Love makes you try,

Love is to trust, Love is a must,

Love makes you smile, Love gives you style,

Love makes you kind, Love makes you blind,

Love makes you feel, Love makes you heal,

Love makes you wait, But finds you a mate,

Love teaches you to be nice, Love teaches you to sacrifice,

Love makes you dance, Always gives you a chance.

Love comes in when everyone goes out,

And when it does, it leaves no doubts,

Love is a sky full of clouds, Once you fall in, there's no way out.

Love is true when you feel no fear, Love defines what's pure and clear.

Love is when you fly high, Love is when you never lie.

Love is the only one who stands by.

When the soul that loved is about to die.

Poetry by me : Silence Within Me!

I am here, but not..

The voice that emerges from this throat is not mine

I am here, but still I am not

The thoughts that invade this mind are not mine

I am here, but not

The feelings that arise in this heart are not mine

I am here, but still I am not

This body that is alive is a facet of many dreams woven together by invisible threads

This body, it belongs to someone other than me, for I have no sense of feeling, emotion

It is only when I am in this body that I feel these worthless needs of the body...

to nurture it, to care for it, to feel pain, to feel joy.

I am here... minus the body, mind, heart I am here, my soul and I.

Review by Me : The Last Don - A book by Mario Puzo

If you have read "GodFather" this is definately not a book to read!

Like Godfather, the author tries to create a plot around the Mafiso family.However, the plot is not strong enough to make you bite your nails.The author gives detailed description of many characters that are not directly involved with the plot..making the reader lose interest! Also, when the plot finally gets stronger towards the end, you almost guess the climax!!

Here's a quick recap about the book incase you want to just give up on getting really bored!The story is about "Clericuzio Family". Don Clericuzio oversees the double christening of two infant boys, Dante and Cross, into the Clericuzio family. Later, when Cross is tapped to take over as the "Hammer" of the Clericuzios, their prime hit man, he proves not cold-blooded enough for the role. Dante takes his place, and Cross moves from Las Vegas to Hollywood, which proves to be an even worse den of iniquity. When he falls for a movie star Athena Aquitaine, he exhibits the "fatal flaw" the old don always warned against: loving a beautiful woman. A taut novel of sex and money, of love and power.

The plot of the story revolves around the fact that 'Dante' is the son of the Don's daughter Rose Marie and Don's enemy Santido!(The Don has ordered his son's and Pippi to murder the Santido family) At some point when Dante figures this out, he conspires and plots revenge against the Don's sons, Pippi and Cross.
And to cut the long story short... "THIS IS ONE BOOK YOU CAN GIVE UP ON!!"

Review by Me : Shock - A Book by Robin Cook

A typical Robin cook book! Keeps your eyes glued to the book and your mind glued to the story line even after you are through reading!!

In this plot-twisting novel the villains, (who are doctors at Winsgate Clinic) with no sense of ethics or social responsibility get their greedy hands on the newest cloning technology. It starts when a couple of Harvard graduate students (Debhora and Joanna) answer the Wingate Clinic's ad for egg donors. The women figure on financing a year in Venice and the down payment on a Boston condo with the extraordinary sum they're promised. But a year later, the heroines feel the emotional need to seek out the children they've made possible for infertile couples. So they disguise themselves and seek jobs at the clinic in order to access the identifying information. The clinic, as it turns out, has plenty of secrets to protect, so it's hard to believe that a pair of computer neophytes could bypass its security and reveal the dirty secrets of cloning and try to escape the grounds of winsgate clinic!!

This one keeps you turning the pages until the final denouement, though the last chapter ends abruptly, leaving the reader to wonder whether he ran out of steam or is just setting up a sequel in which he'll recycle the villains in a new scheme with a new pair of victims

Personally, I dont enjoy open - ends too much! Yet.. the book deserves 3 1/2 stars! ;)

And if you do like this one.. you should definately go for "Chromosome 6" if you have not already read it! :-D

Review by Me: Abduction - A book By Robin Cook

This is one of the best books i've read so far..Not only does it keep your eyes glued to the book while your reading it but it also, keeps your thoughts glued to the plot long after you have finished reading it!!

Robin Cook, makes Abduction sound so real and logical in a scientific way. The book is basically about double evolution on Earth.

To breifly describe what goes around; Perry Berg is president of Benthic Marine and a passenger aboard The Benthic Explorer, a 450-foot research ship endeavoring to drill into, and sample for the first time, the earth's magma core. Also onboard are the lovely Dr. Suzanne Newell; ex-navy commander and present submersible skipper Donald Fuller; and navy-cum-Neanderthal divers Richard Adams and Michael Donaghue. It is this cast of characters who, with the reluctant Perry, dive to the stilled drill site in order to make repairs. En route, they are sucked (or suckered) into a defunct undersea volcano and deposited into an otherworldly wonderland. That takes about 75 pages of fairly cogent spadework.

The next 375 pages sprout some of the looniest, most derivative, made-for-TV-movie science fiction imaginable. Our heroes, you see, have been abducted to Interterra, an undersea world of staggering beauty and unheard of technologies--intergalactic travel and eternal life, for starters--populated by stunningly beautiful, toga-wearing, first-generation humans.

First-generation humans are the one's that were the result of the first evoluation on Earth, after the 'dark Ages' another evoluation takes place resulting into us the 'Second Generation' humans. The first generation had been doing very nicely until their scientists realized that the earth was about to be "showered with planetesimal collisions, just as had happened in its primordial state," and that they had better start digging. While the Interterrans prospered and thrived undersea, we, the second generation, began hauling our single-celled bodies up by our ooze-straps and started all over again. They main characters like Arak and Sufa speak strangely, giggle at the primitive second-generationists, recoil at the very thought of violence, press their palms together to show respect, greeting and to make love, and direct "worker clones" to do the dishes while the second generation does its stereotypical best to, in turns, exemplify, define, and defile humankind. What the Interterrains are scared of is, the fact that us 'Second Generation' will discover Interterra. Hence, when the main characters of the novel decide to escape, from Interterra the plot thickens. In the end, the powerful Interterrians decide to send 'back in time' the culprits!
All in all a very exotic book! Would love to re-re-re-read!!! :)
