Vacation update

Hello people of the world!(that is my favourite opening)Today,we had gone to Cheoul,Alibag where the temple of our family deity-Goddess Bhagvati is situated.We go there every year and I enjoy the travelling part immensely.
Recently,I finished reading Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception and I have started with Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony.Opal Deception was a very interesting book with a good,fast-moving plot.However,when Commander Julius Root,one of the main characters in the series is killed,the reader should get an extreme feeling of sadness.But,nothing like that happened.
I mean,you may probably say that it depends on the person's EQ,which is true to some extent,but still,some detailed description of the loss and sadness felt by the other characters can do.I felt that it just went on with the flow of incidents happening throughout the book.These kind of incidents should not be there in the book,if they are unable to pull at your heart strings.
Well,that was my opinion.Not that I like to feel sad while reading a book,but then if its there then it should be portrayed effectively.But apart from that,it's awesome.The way the plot unfolds at a bearably fast pace is totally remarkable.There are instances in the book,when you can't help but laugh out loud.For example,at the end when Artemis is thinking of reforming but finding it hard to give up his criminal enterprises,he says to himself;maybe I can be a modern day Robin Hood,steal from the rich and give to the poor.Or maybe...just steal from the rich.One step at a time!
LOL!Not only this,there are innumerable humorous instances in all the books in the series.But I won't go listing all of them,some are context-related.
So overall,the books are very enjoyable.That's all for today,I guess.Good-bye till my next post!

Hi friends!Right now,at this moment,I am in Santacruz-getting bored.The thing is,we are here for my grandmom's perimetry test.We are here sice afternoon(2:30-3:00) and none of us had any idea of the detention.Sudoku and word mole saved me but now I can't help getting bored.How I wish I had got my Artemis Fowl...

DD...

Hello people!Today was a…well,different day,to say the least.Actually,it was like any other day,but what I mean is,today I am feeling different…in the sense,strangely numb-if you know what I mean.

Maybe because I had disturbed sleep(I woke up in the midnight and was awake for quite some time after that)But the thing is,I got lots of dreams;or it atleast seemed to me like lots of dreams.But nothing new there…infact,I like to talk about and discuss about the dreams I get and sometimes have a good laugh over them(remember the post My Best Dream)

But today,inspite of the fact that it was NOT a nightmare,I felt…tired or should I say…I was feeling tired while I ‘‘watched’’the dream!And let me get this straight;I was not running or anything in it!Still,I roughly remember that there were many of my friends in it and again and again,the setting would kind of change.So I can’t narrate it like a story,like I narrated the Hogwarts dream in the post My Best Dream.

So,to sum it all up,after I woke up,I did not feel fresh at all,and felt the urge or longing for a dreamless sleep;which is so unlike me.Anyways then,that longing is still there,I don’t want any dream today and neither do I want to wake up in the middle of the night.

Alright then,that’s all there is to this post.By the way,today I felt strangely happy that I have a blog because I really needed to share this!

P.S:DD stands for disturbing dreams...

Vacation life...

Hey guys!What's up?Please don't say-the sky or the ceiling!It's just that I am fed up of such answers.Anyway,we got our report cards on friday.But somehow,I felt that the usual post-result euphoria is missing.Reason:just grades were printed(I got an A+ in mostly all subjects)We weren't even told the marks;just the range of some subjects.I don't like that:-But thankfully,I got an overall idea of my marks because our class teacher told me that I am the highest in all subjects-;)

I came to know that I am in 8a.I am happy,because ever since primary I wanted to be in the A division-just like that!I am enjoying my vacations.You know what,I am currently reading the Artemis Fowl series.It's interesting.It is basically about a criminal mastermind-Artemis Fowl who is very intelligent;infact,he has the highest IQ measured in Europe!

Some people tend to compare Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl(though not as much as people compare Harry Potter with Twilight!)But what I think is this-Harry Potter is Harry Potter;Artemis Fowl is Artemis Fowl.There are different parameters to judge whether you enjoyed either series.So don't compare,just enjoy the experience of reading!

Hope you agree with me.Hmm...so I guess,that's all for today.
