Sapiens - book review

Not many books make you go Wow for every single page you read. Ever since I started “Sapiens” it has been a series of wonderment that are never ending!!! How can a book  be so organized and so matter of fact, for a topic that is all encompassing the human kind!! Wonder how many years the author took to write this book and the editor deserves a Pulitzer. I am halfway through and I literally have to force myself to logoff from the book, at the risk of missing my stopping. If anyone has a mind and wants it to get blown, this would be the book. Period. Personally, I don’t read too many books and from what I’ve read this is by far the best of the lot. Whenever I read any chapter the next minute I want to write a post about it. Every single chapter is having so much content and so much of information to analyse and discuss that, this book deserves a blogspot of its own!! I could relate to so many analogies, thought processes, facts and information mentioned on the book and the inferences derived that at times it feels as if the book is talking to me!! For all the controversial topics that have been handled so far, nowhere else have I read an more believable and factual representation. Be it on caste, religion, politics, evolution of social behavior, every topic is so reasonably argued that, this book is whole lot damn convincing than some of the best speakers I have listened to. The way it connects with present day happenings, be it personal, professional or political, it is so very realistic and relatable. I guess the last time I was gushing over a book like this was “A man called Ove” and the ending messed it up for me. Hope this one lives up to the expectation it has been continuously raising.

Excellent. Now write a post on each chapter. We have been rather missing Gilsu's posts.

I've a dream...

Ever since i saw "Maama Mia" in HBO..this song has been ringing in my head nonstop. Me a big fan of ABBA. That troupe has a cuteness in all their song..a refreshing sense of jolly music and nice n simple lyrics to top it all. I like most of their songs.."volevouzs","waterloo","I do I do","mama mia".."dancing queen" being the most favourite. But lyricswise..this one is my fav.. I feel its very positive in tone.. I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of the fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels, something good in everything I see I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream I have a dream, a fantasy, to help me through reality And my destination makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness still another mile I believe in angels, something good in everything I see I believe in angels, whe...
