White Mughals - William Dalrymple
I have started reading this book , as the day passes I will keep on posting the points that I am collecting through this book.
1. Its William Dalrymple's Fifth Major book.
2. Is about the story of a love affair which saw a British dignitary, the East India Company resident of Hyderabad, Captain James Achilles Kirkpatrick, convert to Islam and marry Khair-un-Nissa, a Hyderabadi noblewoman of royal Persian descent.
3. Kahir-un-Nissa was "Sayeeda" - Considered to be the descendants of Prophet, thus they have to follow strict laws and are one of the purest of all women. They are even not allowed to talk and mingle with pregnant women as the child in their womb (which can be male) may corrupt them.
4. While searching for all the documents William happens to visit the National Library Delhi , where due to ill maintenance and silly mistakes by the care taker destroyed six hundred volume of a rare Persian language literature of Hyderabad court preceding.
5. Author describes how the west people from (Portugal, France, UK) get mixed with the local customs and life of India. They are more attracted towards the life style of keeping many slaves and performing blasphemy. This intermix also lead to people mixing Islam and Hindu culture.

‘कलयुग का रावण’
भोपाल गैस त्रासदी में कांग्रेस को जिम्मेदार ठहराने के लिए इंदौर के एक युवक राजेश बिड़कर ने अनूठा तरीका अपनाया। उसने हाल में रिलीज फिल्म ‘रावण’ से प्रेरित होकर मप्र के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री अर्जुन सिंह को ‘कलयुग का रावण’ बताकर मंगलवार को शहर में अनेक स्थानों पर पोस्टर लगा दिए। पोस्टर में फिल्म की निर्माता कांग्रेस पार्टी, राजीव गांधी को संगीतकार और डायरेक्टर एंडरसन को बताया गया है।

Brazil Vs PKR
Brazil won but not that champions performance. Some points I noted :
1. Second half was played entirely in North Korea's area, they some how managed to take ball in Brazil's side only 9 times.
2. Brazil played 27 shots (converted 2 ) .... PKR played 7 shots (converted 1).
3. Only one Yellow card.... so both team played very neatly.
4. 2 Goals from Brazil and they were classic example of team work.
5. Whenever Brazil takes the ball in PKR "di" .... there were 11 PKR for the defence.
But my heart is beating for Germany (more now).

Hi Guys,
I really appreciate your interest in my book, The Polyester Prince, but can't you reward a struggling author a bit? If you can wait until September 1, the new edition -- titled Mahabharata in Polyester -- is coming out here in Sydney from NewSouth Books, including all the early stuff about Dhirubhai and the recent feud between Mukesh and Anil.
If you want to get in touch I can send you a copy hot off the presses. It won't be free but it will be personally dedicated and I'll see what discount can be arranged.
Anant - hold the PDF!
regards
Hamish McDonald
Its a small mention but still love it :)
