Jules Verne Week!

Image
my recreational activities this week were related to jules verne..... i finished the e-book twenty thousand leagues under the sea on thursday. if i compare it with the other works of verne that i have read-journey to the centre of the earth, around the world in 80 days, this book was too lengthy, too many descriptions of the flora and fauna of the seas! it really gets boring at too many places..... but the story overall, the concept of a submarine, visiting the south pole, discovering the submerged atlantis, make for a worthwhile read. especially when you consider that all this was written way back in the 1800s.... the highlight of the book is the part where they get trapped while returning from the south pole and how Captain Nemo,`the emotionless` and the crew and passengers aboard the Nautilius handle the situation. fantastic read overall! the other activity realted to verne is :i watched the movie journey to the center of the earth on wednesday. i had read the book some 2 years ago,

Updates

The last week of OBG postings in our final year is going on, it feels really short compared to the previous posting of 6 weeks. also, we had 1 week labour ward postings this time. we are mostly revising the cases we had seen and learnt last posting.... then.... i read a novel-deception point by dan brown. was fantastic, it`s his third novel i am reading-the others were angels and demons and da vinci code. all of them have been exhilarating. this is the only novel i have read this year, hope its the only one too, i have got to be studying right, final year,final term and all! ಹಾಗೇ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಗೌರಿ ಗಣೇಶ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು. wish you all a happy gowri ganesha festival!
