I had the GREATEST OPPORTUNITY to know the MOST INTERESTING FACTS about HINDUISM.
If I do not share with others it is really a Sin, I believe.
So this is an attempt to Give all in parts in this Site, seen mostly by many.
This is actually a Reproduction and Not my Creation.
WHAT IS HINDUISM?
Hinduism is Not a Religion but a Way of life. Unlike other religions, Hindu dharma has many specialties.
This is not known as a religion, it is known as the Dharma;
Sanaathana Dharma.
Sanaathana means, according to Bhagavath Geetha,
which cannot be destroyed by fire, weapons, water, air,
and which is present in all living and non living being.
Dharma means, the way of life which is the
‘Total of all Aachaaraas or Customs and Rituals’.
Sanaathana Dharma has its foundation on scientific spirituality.
In the entire ancient Hindu literature we can see that science and

“Eleven minutes” is the latest book, I read of my favorite author PAULO COELHO which caught my attention. I am not writing the book review, because I am not qualified enough to assess his books.
All those who haven’t read the book, I would like to give a brief that the story revolves around a Brazilian prostitute and her journey to real love in this not so beautiful or the most fascinating world.
However, I was not able to relate myself to the outward subject line of book which revolves around the pleasure of sex and real love ( for those who want to know about this strange name, it is derived from the time taken for sex which takes around roughly eleven minutes, as per the author, anyways this is not the soul of the book).
But, the thing which I want to relate myself is the adventures the central character

I stepped into the united states right during the bust of the dot com boom bubble in 2000. I could not believe it when I heard stories of start up companies, formed in suburban garages with next-to-junk computers, that took over the global software scene and shook the wall street audience out of their slumber before eventually going down the slope with an equally torrid pace!

Posted in Books, Moviez!, Favourite Quotes!! by Archana | 1 Comment »
Ever since the days of Aladdin, I have been a big fan of fantasy movies. They fascinated me as a kid, weaving magical worlds with words and pictures that were beyond my wildest imaginations fathomable.
Narnia is one such world and I fell in love with everything in it. The roaring lion (Aslan), with its splendid hair and elegant army, the fatherless yet playful pevensies (the four kids), the helpful beavers and the meany, wicked wolves that protect the spell of the witch (who calls herself the queen of Narnia) add to the magic but donot take away from the genius of the author that conjured it all up!
After watching the movie, I felt the book must have been even more interesting and it did not disappoint. Though I did not get a chance to finish it, it sounded much more magical than the movie itself.
The humor in the dialogue really supplemented the gravity of the story very well. Some favorite quotes in the movie I remember :
Professor : What were you children doing in the wardrobe?
Kids: You wouldn’t believe us if we told you.
Professor : Try me.
Kid [about to fall from a rearing horse] : Whoa, Horsey.
the Horse: I have a name. It’s Phillip.
Elder Sister: Are you saying we should believe her story?
Professor : Why not?
Elder Sister: Well, it can’t be real, logically.
Professor : Logic? What are they teaching them at school these days?
It was fascinating to see a full house just before the day of christmas while king kong was still playing in the house! The fact that the audience laughed/cheered/clapped as the story unveiled on the silver screen is probably the best review this movie can get. The last time I saw this happen was with ‘Lord of the Rings’. So, is the deep magic of Narnia going to work on the academy this time ? Gotta wait n see!

Finally,
I have come to know that half my friends on orkut and a majority of
Indians that are into reading books have devoured this masterpiece
in quick gulps.. Da vinci code [learnt that it is spelt as da-vin-chee
co-de] !!
Check the reviews & prices out at amazon :
May be, because of the fact that this book contravenes certain popular
papal beliefs or because it ended up getting so much press or
because we are still a country that have not yet given up on faith
and God, Da vinci code was such a run-away hit in our country
particularly!!
It does not end there!! we have a hollywood movie
starring Tom Hanks and Sir Ian Mckellen[lord of the rings - fame:
Gandolf!!] , slated for a late 2006 release!!!
