That’s what I am feeling right now. The joy of turning the last page of the book… finished reading another book ! I feel great !! Do you feel the same when you finish a book ? . Well, text books are an exception, when you are at the last page, you know it’s time for exams !
The Motorcycle Diaries : Ernesto “Che” Guevra
Now, about the last book I read. ( This is not a book review, but just my thoughts about the book. ) I picked this one with loads of expectations. I am not quite sure if this was up to my expectations. But, it was touching, that’s for sure.

But, when the same thing was presented to me through books in Political science, I didn’t like it. It’s not just the goal that matters, right ?
Now, in the same way, the Communist Party in Kerala, is taking a step forward ( unfortunately, away from what it is supposed to be ). Investing in a water amusement park, worth Rs.35 corers. I am not here for an argument, ( business run by a political party ? water theme park when there is no water no rain ? no for coke or pepsi, but a big yes for part’s water theme park ? ). But, I feel, they are walking away from where people expect it to be, from what people want it to be.
If you are in Kerala, or Know kerala a little, there is another organization, or a leader who is actually walking in the opposite direction of what he is supposed to be. Yes, I said OPPOSITE.
Guess ?
