THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA by Amish Tripathi, Review

The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is not that kind of a book I was expecting. I was expecting a book with lot of morals and Hindu myths. But this turned out to be a complete different.



But it was indeed a very good one. This is come under my category... FAST READ BECAUSE ITS GOOD.... If you are very leisure and have lots of time, you will try your best to complete in one read.



It consisted mostly of the Meluhan myths, which I believe are pure works of fictions.



Actually this book doesn't belond to be noted as a "BC story".. No way in BC we had technology like that.. It is a combination of both BC and a Modern era.



The names of the characters are used very brilliantly. I really admire a new-comer can make such a great deal. HATS OFF TO AMISH.



Just can't wait for the second book in the series...

THE BEST SURVIVAL GUIDE EVER PUBLISHED...



I am a outdoor kind of guy.. It is very essential for me to learn survival tactics incase of emergency and all..

It is THE BEST... Nothing can beat it.. It covers each and every worse-case sceanrios provided by the Mother Nature.. It covers all the regions from Desert to Glaciers.. Swamps to forests... hot to cold to tropical to humid... It is a one-stop deal for survival situation..



If you got lost in a wild place like (any )forest and if you have find this book in your backpack, man, you are most luckiest person on this earth..



The feature of the book which really fascinated is the GLOBAL EDIBLE PLANTS list.. There is a big list of edible, medicinal and extremely poisonous plants in the book.. which colour illustrations.. I never saw this feature in any other survival guide ever..



It has got the procedures of gutting the animals and all, clothing for a particular kind of region.. kinds of shelter that can be made with props around you..

ANNAPURNA by Maurice Herzog, Review

Annapurna by Maurice Herzog

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


EXTEMELY GRIPPING READ... BEST MOUNTAINEERING BOOK



The expedition of 8 French people, started to conquer 2 "Eight THousander" - Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.



The first half of the book deals with the ridges and reconnaissance in search for the route to summit of DHAULAGIRI. After a lot of effort and time, they will learn that DHAULAGIRI is inaccesible...



Now the quest to the summit of ANNAPURNA starts. 3 ridges (routes) to the summit are proved fatal and dangerous. But at last one ridge is discovered by one party of reconnaissance.



Finally 2 out of 8 members - Herzog and Lachenal - make it to summit in worst conditions with their limbs forst-bitten.



Finally, ANNPURNA is conquered. But it is not over yet, they are very far and about 8000 meters away form the civilization. The descent was so horrifying with frost-bitten limbs and lack of proper treatment...

A small SNAPPING TURTLE...

Came across this small sized SNAPPING TURTLE.. It was very cool, to see turtle in house for me.. But this one looked like a ordinary turtle, so I went so close to its mouth, then it suddenly snapped out of its shell and almost bit my finger.

Since it is small I was fine.. It was just 4-5 inches.. If it was the average size of its family, then my finger would have been its lunch for today...

This is their average size, and they are very good at snapping your finger off of your hands!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


i just figured out that 3 idiots is inspired from this book...



liked it alot... chetan is one of the best author of India..



a perfect ten...



it is a must read.. very entertaining one...



read this one when i heard about the controversy of a great bollywood blockbuster 3 IDIOTS...



but ya seems alot like the book.. they are very similar dialogue, almost the same dialogues.. but there are some minors changes though...



about the book, a good entertainer.. i am a very slow reader, but i completed this in just 2 days, that is one of my record reads.. i rush through books for 2 reasons...

1. they must be boring, so i want to get out of it fast..

2. they must so interesting, i cant resist reading it fast..



this book is definetely comes under the latter category.. joyful one.
