Books,fairy tales,horcruxes...and more



Hi!I guess, I’m writing after quite some time. Couldn’t find the time, to be frank. I’ve been kind of busy… but guess what?!Very recently,I read that book Tales of Beedle the Bard.Its really interesting.It has 5 wizarding fairy tales.If you’ve read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,you’ll be aware that Dumbledore had left that book for Hermione in his will.

Actually, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the ‘Deathly Hallows’ were the three gifts given by Death to the three brothers from the last story(The Tale of the Three Brothers) in Tales of Beedle the Bard.I liked all the five stories but the best one was the Tale of the Three Brothers.Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump was also pretty good(though the title sounds childish ,the story is awesome!)

If you read ‘The Warlock’s Hairy Heart’you’ll wonder why to call it a fairy tale!It’s too dark!You’ll notice that the concept is too much similar to Horcruxes. After each story ,there’s Dumbledore’s view of the story and some extra info like who thought the story is too dark, not appropriate for children and so on.

Actually none of the stories are like proper fairy-tales but we’re used to muggle fairy tales in which the protagonist is in trouble and some prince comes to save her. There are some exceptions to this theme, but generally it’s like that.So these wizarding fairy-tales have got to be different,for a change!

And the extra info at the end of each story adds kind of a realistic touch to it.For eg,it’ll be written,in this and this year,this and this wizard claimed he has the Deathstick but it is not known whether it exists…

So overall,I think it’s a nice book and Harry Potter fans have to read it!

Examination Week...and more!

Hello friends and foes! Yesterday I joined school after quite a lot of time. Yesterday, our science ma’am took a surprise viva and I was totally unprepared for it! But it went quite well, on the background that I wasn’t able to prepare for it coz of my illness. I knew most of the answers. This week can be rightly called the ‘Examination Week’ with nearly some or the other assessment every alternate day! Today my maths retest took place and it was awesome!(touchwood)

Anyway, I guess I’ve talked enough about my school tests! I’m sorry you wasted your time reading these details about my tests! I think I should quickly switch the topic or else you may stop visiting my blog!(just kidding, don’t ever do that!!!) So the point is, keep visiting this blog! Sorry if am sounding like some anchor on a T.V. show-‘don’t forget to watch your favourite show on your favourite channel with your favourite host!’

Now that the topic has cropped up,it reminded me about my favourite show which I just watched ‘Kya Mast Hai Life’.But nowadays its become more like kya mast nahi hai life with the gang fighting and all.

Anyway, so I guess that’s all for today.Bye-bye!

An unwanted vacation...

Hi! How are you? Happy or sad? I am quite sad. You remember the post ‘Happy or Sad’ in which I figured out I should be on cloud nine for a stupid swine-flu vacation? Now guess what, I’ve got another vacation which is much much worse than the swine-flu vacation coz this is my dengue fever vacation!

Well, actually viral fever coz they’re gonna keep me under observation for this one week and keep doing blood-tests and stuff and see if the reports are normal. Just in case they aren’t normal I’ll have to be admitted for dengue but I guess they will be normal! (and I hope today’s blood test was the final one!)Right now, I am feeling much better which is why of course I can even type all this!

Anyway am bored of sitting at home doing nothing.(except taking medicines) I can’t study, play and on the whole, exert myself! All these days I never sat on the PC and I feel really awesome now that am blogging, surfing the net, playing games…in short, operating the PC after so many days! I can’t wait to go to school next Monday, (I hope there isn’t too much backlog and most of the periods are free so that I can complete any incomplete work)

OK then, bye-bye!
