The Lost Symbol-Dan Brown

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned at the last minute to deliver an evening lecture in the Capitol Building. Within moments of his arrival, however, a disturbing object – gruesomely encoded with five symbols - is discovered at the epicentre of the Rotunda. It is, He recognises, an ancient invitation, meant to beckon its recipient towards a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom.
When Langdon's revered mentor, Peter Solomon – philanthropist and prominent mason – is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only hope of saving his friend's life is to accept this mysterious summons and follow wherever it leads him.
Langdon finds himself quickly swept behind the façade of America's most powerful city into the unseen chambers, temples and tunnels which exist there. All that was familiar is transformed into a shadowy, clandestine world of an artfully concealed past in which Masonic secrets and never before seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth.
Dan Brown packs another book with his signature true mind boggling facts, puzzles and veiled histories. The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightening paced thriller that offers surprise at every turn.

Climate Criminals

There was a seminar on Climate Change and Global Warming in the women' college. And most of the speakers lambasted repeatedly the United States of America for all the climate crises which the world is facing today. Thought there is not an iota of doubt in this fact USA is the biggest polluter on the planet today. But the exaggeration by them is simply the by product of the left (mis)rule which have created anti America but they them selves have done nothing less than what the Americans have done. Cos if they were so responsible to the environment then they could not have created a ministry of environment for sleep only purpose. If it were not the hard efforts and iron will of environmentalists under Subhas Dutta. The smoke spewing 2 stokes could still have been there on the roads of Kolkata to pollute. And we have seen that how reluctant the government was in this case. And the most recent one was the exclusion of Environmental Education marks from the class 12th score when going ...

F.R.I.E.N.D.S - can’t we be……….

“At the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps India will wake into a new life and freedom”. These were the words which started a new era in world history. It created our very own great nation India and two similarly great nations on world’s map. (Well I am not going to give any history or geography lessons. So go ahead and read on. It is important coz it is the title of my blog. And my first blog is a bit related to it). But world never knew about those pieces which were remnants of millions of the shattered hearts of people residing in these broken countries. The broken heart which people carried with them made forget the definition of friends and friendship. But now the time have changed. We can’t live as our grand dad and dads have lived. With our young heart, passion and energy to do something new, can’t we remember what friendship is? Will we also foolishly maintain the same legacy of hate and distrust with our neighbours? But somewhere around a voice comes to me and s...

NSS “Special” Camp

After a long long wait came the special camp of our NSS unit. When we first read all the manuals and heard the briefing at the workshop from MR sir. Everyone was very nervous and thought the this is gonna be very tough job but thanks to our seniors it was lot less painful experience. I was made the team leader of team A and we were the best of all. We did the most number of survey and also gave PO a critical summary of the whole matter which was very helpful to him. We first divided our team into two groups. That is why we covered much more ground than others. In my group I must say that Lipika was the most hard working and most talkative. And Ismial or “E Smile” was our marker. We really did a great job. Guys thanks a lot. Then the last day of our camp Princi came so the journo ma'am too but when Chemistry sir (I don't know his name) came all the girl went mad every one was taking his photo graphs. Now Lipika asked Princi how to become Princi. What a question ain't it? B...
