In My Own Words:
There is nothing startling about me that stands out when I think about it. I love to read, that is obvious by the many reviews I have written, I have a passion for watching films/documentaries on either my DVD or Video player, once again obvious but what is not so obvious is that I love all things canine, play a bad game of chess but still play it, do tapestries but never quite finish them but am … Read more

My Name Is Baljit But You Can Call Me Gary: The Al&hellip by Amit Rajp
My Name Is Baljit But You Can Call Me Gary: The Alternative Guide To Indian Culture by Amit Rajp
If you are a British Asian or an Asian who has lived in the UK for a number of years then you HAVE got to read this book. I came across a review of it in the magazine Society Today and was intrigued enough to purchase a copy.

It's only 65 pages long but it is absolutely hilarious. Set in 15 short chapters, you are treated to titles such as "Why Tupperware Are Like Drugs, "Indian Timing" and my all time favourite, "Merry Christmas."

With laugh out moments that will surely get you thrown off a train for rolling in the aisles, this is a super-dooper book that surely deserves to be in the best seller list for its astute observations and quirky wit that will have most… Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great cheese and Ham!, 21 Sep 2009
Went to see this movie at the cinema and really enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting much and I guess that is why I was not disappointed.

Tom Hanks gave a solid performance as Professor Langdon who has been trying to get his mitts on Vatican held papers to enable him to continue his research into ancient symbolism. However his recent run in with the Catholic Church has made him unpopular to say the least (watch the Da Vinci Code) and his requests to have access to the Vatican Library has been turned down again and again.

But with the kidnapping of four Cardinals who have been chosen as candidates for the Papacy, only Professor Langdon's skills can save the day. He is… Read more
Little People in the City: The Street Art of Slink&hellip by Will Self
Little People in the City: The Street Art of Slinkachu (foreword by Will Self) by Will Self
5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing, 21 Sep 2009

This book intrigued me. With its brightly coloured photos of tiny life like models in the big bad world I was compelled to look at each picture and put it into a context that I could understand. I think this book is very much about what YOU want to see in it. For some it will be a book about miniature models; for another it will about how you perceive the world from a giant's perspective; for others it will a perplexing look into another person's mind and for me it's about the real world standing still so we can look at it from above.

The Street art of Slinkachu touched my "funny bone" so to speak. It intrigued me and so I purchased it. Even after looking at each… Read more
