Lost symbol effect!!!

At last I found the lost symbol ;)

The much awaited moment was ended when my Anna gifted me with Dan Brown’s Lost symbol (my Rakhi gift). I dint get the chance to read it first because Pinki had already booked it. Let me say, this book is awesome!!!

Whenever I read a Dan Brown book, it develops some sort of strange interest in me. Each sentence awakes the info seeker in me….and I feel am the one, who is searching for the so called precious info in the story. I know my imagination is too kiddish.
If I keep my fantasy stuff apart, Brown's style keeps the pages turning as readers try to connect the dots, which is the crucial thing in this book. All his thrillers are known for its style and its relation to Christianity.

Narrating a story is something really great and I lack that art. That’s why am so much interested in reading those kinds of books which are very strong in narration. The plot, situations, and characters move along with you when you read through the text. Isn’t it a great art? (Off course it is!!! I am struggling to create continuity in whatever crap I write :)

And another important fact is the book’s relation with catholic conspiracies. Being a catholic, am interested in Catholicism and it’s so called ‘church secrets’. The plot is set in such a way that the Symbols and mythology provides a fun chance to toy with conspiracy theories. I never knew there were so many secrets behind the Catholic Church. (Hope it’s not true :)

The book didn’t consume my much time as The Lost Symbol' does not require much effort to read. Some words did need a Google search; still it never spoiled the continuity of the plot.

I am so much impressed by the writing style of Brown. But I read a few reviews criticized the narrative as witless, adjectivally-promiscuous and addicted to using italics to convey excitement. Is that really true? I don’t read many thrillers and not familiar with the adept thriller writers. If you can invoke interest through your own writing style, then why need to follow other writers. I did have great time by reading the book, then why to worry about the critics.

Let me tell you one thing frankly, I didn’t like the ending :(
but no comments ;)

All the best Boss!!!

It is almost one year since I joined Congruent. Ganesh helped me to find this job and he is my boss too. I am kinda of enjoying the life here. This office is so different from my previous one, where I started my communication career. I feel happy when I think about this organization. It teaches me a lot and does give me the opportunity to flourish my career.

Marketing department is the best in Congruent. Rashmi, Subu, Durai and myself are so fortunate to work under Ganesh (he heads marketing). He encourages us a lot and never complains about anything. My other colleagues feel the ‘J’ factor for us.

For me, he is a role model. I adopt many things from him, especially his sincerity, commitment in work and passion to train his subordinates and all (it’s actually a never ending list:). I have noticed one thing that he never hesitated to appreciate anyone of us even in our small achievements.

You know some people say they have the greatest boss, but they don't unless they work with mine. My boss is more than just a boss, he's my friend. He will do anything for anyone and is always there when you need him. If All Bosses were like him, the World Would Be a Happier Place.

It is sad thing that he is leaving to another firm for a better career. It gives me disappointment but I would like to wish him a great career.

Wishing good luck in your new job dear Ganesh!!!

Oh my God who’s gonna come next??? :(
