This book is one of the many novels from Jeffrey archer and by far the best book I have ever read. I agree that I haven’t read many novels but among those which I have read this one has the best story line. The story iis captivating right from the beginning till the end.
The story is about a man who is wrongly accused of murdering his best friend and how he seeks his revenge on those responsible for it. The way he plans everything and carries it out to near perfection is excellent. The arguments in the courtroom are also awesome and mind racking as to how the lawyers can turn the entire case using a single word. I admired those skills of finding the weak point in the arguments by the lawyers though I don’t know whether the lawyers in real life are so good. And finally as always the righteous wins. The novel has its share of twists and turns and of those the final one is the best. This is a must read novel for all those novel lovers out there. I am sure you will love it. Once you start reading, it becomes almost impossible to keep it down. I don’t want to give any more spoilers about the book. If you get the opportunity to read the book don’t let it pass.

Bad day for my favourites
I know its a bit late news but i had written this down earlier itself on my computer.Just took time to create the blog so that i can post it. Me lazy you see. Here it comes..
I am a sports fanatic and watch all kind of sports. I have favourites in all sports. Yesterday turned out to be a bad day for my favourites. First to start with was asia cup finals.
Asia cup finals.
India having crusied through the league stages in the asia cup met the defending champions srilanka in the finals. India playing just four specialist bowlers did a good job of restricting the sri lankans to a score less than 300. And with the ultra flat pitches, targets over 300 were easily achieved. But the script of finals was different. Indians have made it an habit of losing in finals. But this time they were done in by excellent bowling. They did not throw their wickets they just couldn’t keep their wickets intact. The Indian batsmen were at loss for mendis magic. Mendis, the new wicket taking machine, is capable of bowling 6 different kind of deliveries in one over. Such is his variation. Indian batsmen’s lack of experience was exposed. They were impatient and his stump to stump line and his variation earned him his scalp of six wickets. The ball to yuvraj was a beauty. I was just amazed to see the ball. He was in completely wrong position and could never come back. It is near to impossible for new batsmen to read the ball from his hand. Dhoni alone did the right thing by trying to read the ball of the pitch which was easier than the former. But he got no support from the other end as wickets were tumbling like blocks and the result was inevitable. Mendis turned the game single handedly. Hope India removes its tag of chokers by winning a few series for a change.
British GP.
My next upset was in british gp. My favourite driver kimi raikonnen finished fourth after being second during the critical part of the race. Though I couldn’t see it on tv (set top box needed L) I felt that kimi couldn’t finish on top. Now on the overall standings he shares the top with massa and Hamilton who won easily in the british gp. Watch out kimi. Don’t let your opponents get too close.
Wimbledon
The greatest upset of all for me was the loss of federer to nadal in wimbledon finals. It wsa a match packed with action with the game constantly swaying on both sides from time to time. Federer having lost two sets came back strongly fighting off two championship points to level the scores 2-2. The final set was the best. At the end nadal survived doing the impossible beating federer in wimbledon. The era of federer seem to be waning. Federer is clearly in his worst form of his career not winning a single grand slam till now. Next the US open and the hard courts await federer. Can he make a mark in it???

Hi everyone..
I wanted to try out this experience of blogging. Have heard from my friends that its really difficult to pen down our thoughts exactly. I thought i would just give it a try. I had wanted to blog for long but never got the time. I observe many situations in day to day life which i want to writ down. Since i dont maintain any diary of any sort my next choice is this. Hope there is no lower limit for words in blog since most of my posts will be really small.. :) :) I have never learnt to write long passages. Dont know how i will manage love letters.. :) Hopefully will update the blog frequently. Bye for now. Syanora
Our Brain... A complex thing
Let me start my blogging experience with a article on our brain. A small incident just made me realize how fast our brain works and how it relate things. Its just a small story. When I am at home I used to leave my mom at the railway station everyday morning. There are two parallel roads to the station of which I usually take only one. The condition of both roads were bad. But now the road which I don’t take is newly laid whereas the usual road is still full of bumps and holes. So me and my mom planned to take the other road from next time and asked my mom to remind me if I forgot. But both of us always forgot. The same happenend today. We crossed that road and took the other road as usual. Just as we encountered the first bump in the old road it struck to both of at the same moment that we missed that road. Just that small bump made its impact on the brain and the within fraction of seconds the brain connected it to the parallel roads and reminded us about the missing the better road. I was just marveled to see how fast our brain reacts. Though its just a small thing to relate it to the previous memories within a second is just a miracle. No doubt our human body is the most complex thing in this world.
