A good book is a door to a better life. Go in through it and you will see a different world where the sky is clear, the deep green trees wave gently in the breeze, snow-clad summits grace the landscapes, the sea ripple and sparkle, where parks are always full of young lovers, where supermen fight off bad guys and resolve crisis, where the road to success is not much stony, where doubt and uncertainty has no place to lurk around, where no corner is dark.

As a storyteller, I entertain you with a new story. Here is one more:  When I was a college student, I fancied teaching my classmates. A few of them would gather and ask me to explain a poem which they said they could not get in the classroom. On a sunny winter morning, we pulled out chairs in a corner of the college park and sat down. It was a free period, so I started to put ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ in plain words at their request. “Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!” “Keats looks at the picture carved on the urn in which a young man under a tree sings a song and another is trying to kiss his beloved....” I went on. In the meantime, a few young women from science faculty secretly came up right be...

My warmest congratulations to Shri Narendra Modi on his taking the oath to become the well-liked Prime Minister of the country for the second time. The nation expects still better governance from him and is also sure that he will live up to his election promises as before. I would also like to congratulate all the members who are sworn in as ministers. We hope this competent team will lift India to new heights of productivity and creativity.

‘Snippets of Life Music’ is one of the best short story collections. Someone who reads a story will read all them because, on the one hand, they are exciting and stretch the imagination and, on the other, they pass on surprising facts. The following is an excerpt from a story, which consists in a dialogue between Reason and Emotion:  “I don’t want you to help me at all, Mr Reason! Go in with a businessman; go along with the views of a politician; go help a farmer! You’d better help a lawyer in passing a monster off as a gentleman. A scientist may need you. Go to his laboratory, where you can make better use of your intelligence. Go for it, sir! You know, you can achieve fame. I’ve no use for anybody who hates such ethereal affair as love. The world needs you most. Get around! A lover needs you least!” “Come, come, Mr Passion, a lunatic is better than a passionate fool. The wit and wisdom is man. No one will like you if I’m not…” “Oh I don’t deny your worth. I mean if you lov...

Congratulations to PM Narendra Modi under whose heroic leadership BJP has achieved an historic victory in Indian general elections 2019. He has been winning constant popularity because of his ‘Inclusive growth by collective efforts policy’ because of his nationalist approach to governance, because of his love for farmers and underclass, because of his honesty and integrity he has had and because of his ceaseless services to the country. Congratulations to Sri Amit Shah, whose election strategy and political expertise from the backroom brought about a big win once again. And congratulations to the electorate that voted for the right party and handed power to the responsible hands.
