It’s that time of the year again. Time when all residents of this little island nation can unabashedly express their love for country, and home. While taking a brief respite after lunch, and waiting for the big show tonight, I pondered the questions that the organizers tossed us: When you think of the words ‘Live [...]
Book Review: Fire and Ice, To Die For

Besides fairy tales, Greek myths and Arthurian legends, one other constant in my childhood was the pugilistic novels and drama serials I would invariably get hooked on.
