Funny & Punny And Their Fascinating Tales by Vivek Hegde Pdf

Rave reviews for my 1st book – Fascinating Thoughts – encourages me to go for one more. It is again a collection of my articles written over a period of time. Pun in expression always fascinates me. I see pun in almost everything. It packs a ‘pun’ch surely! When there is pun, there is fun. ‘If-there-is-none, I-will-find-one’ is my playful and favorite challenge. Welcome to Funny & Punny – and their fascinating tales! Mindful that mind is a minefield of mindboggling and endless emotions, this collection broadly consists of articles articulating my thoughts relating to human psychology, general lifestyle, views on current political matters, my banking experiences. Mindful of the short and mercurial attention span, I have tried to confine my articles to one page or less for most part! The joy of writing is immense, more so when some are published in Bank’s house magazines, prominent newspapers. ‘Sach’an Impact of Milestones, Writer’s Gambit, Working in Tandem, Funglish appeared in The New Indian Express in its Timeout \ Mind Space columns. The Hindu carried ‘Hey, Consumers, Beware of these offers’ in its Open Page. I have created two characters – Funny & Punny – through whom I develop a dialogue, a conversation. As you read, you will find that F&P are illustrative characters indulging in soul-searching, reflective enquiries, teasing one’s conscience with probing questions, highlighting life’s contradictions encompassing the wide range of emotions besides cheering you up with rib-tickling puns.

Beethoven's Skull by Tim Rayborn Pdf

Beethoven’s Skull is an unusual and often humorous survey of the many strange happenings in the history of Western classical music. Proving that good music and shocking tabloid-style stories make excellent bedfellows, it presents tales of revenge, murder, curious accidents, and strange fates that span more than two thousand years. Highlights include: A cursed song that kills those who hear it A composer who lovingly cradles the head of Beethoven’s corpse when his remains are exhumed half a century after his death A fifteenth-century German poet who sings of the real-life Dracula A dream of the devil that inspires a virtuoso violin piece Unlike many music books that begin their histories with the seventeenth or eighteenth centuries, Beethoven’s Skull takes the reader back to the world of ancient Greece and Rome, progressing through the Middle Ages and all the way into the twentieth century. It also looks at myths and legends, superstitions, and musical mysteries, detailing the ways that musicians and their peers have been rather horrible to one another over the centuries.

Wreckers and other strange tales by Harry Riley Pdf

With over thirty tales in this collection I agonised over which of them should be the cover story. However, the bleak solitude of those storm-tossed light-towers, often built off some wild and windswept, rocky coast, has always fascinated me, and so I chose the drama of the sea, with: ‘Wreckers.’ Even the most elevated families seem to have a black sheep who does not conform, and in ‘Twice Loved’ a wayward young son is to be disowned and banished forever. In the ‘Curse of Khartoum’ a despised mis-fit goes off at a tangent, with surprising results for everyone concerned. Things are rarely as black and white or as straightforward as they seem, and I hope these little tales will show that nothing in life should be taken for granted, or at face value. I leave you to decide if you think I am right. H.R. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.
