The World We Live In!

People always think that Shiv and Shankar is same, which is not true. Shiv is actually creator of Shankar . Even devotees who spend their whole life worshiping Shankar or Shiv , thinks that they are one and same. This is as common a mistake as calling our religion Hindu , whereas there is no such word in any of our religious texts. Just like we are Sanatan Dharmi , and not Hindu like popular believe, Shiv and Shankar is different and not one entity. 

I am not a big fan of English fiction, have read some Tom Clancy ones earlier, but recently tried one of the English translation of my favorite Hindi thriller writer, Surendra Mohan Pathak, The 65 Lakh Heist! and loved it. Then comes Chetan Bhagat series, I tried 2 States while travelling to Mumbai on business trip, and that opened up a new frontier for me in reading. I was limited to Hindi fictions only so far, and liked the simple yet interesting writings of Indian writers. Now, after just 4 months, I have finished all Chetan Bhagat books, two of the SMP translations, and few others. Rece ntly finished The Immortals of Meluha, a 400 pager fiction about Shiva. A mix of mythology, history and fiction. This is a thriller, and first part in the Shiva trilogy. I really liked the pace of novel, as things happen very fast and you are really hocked to the book till very last page. The only downside of this book is that its not complete in its own, and you have to wait for the second part....
