It's a book by Mark Tully. No, I didn't choose it because the cover is yellow. I chose it because some of my syllabus topics are covered in this book and since I have been snoring all through classes, it would be a good idea to read this book so I know something for the exam. I shall post more once I open the book and start reading.

All you have to do to attain this state of semi-nirvana, is follow these steps. Step 1: Time Time is of the essence . The best time for a food coma is between 12p.m. to 3p.m., also called the time of 'important' meetings and important lectures. The sleep in this period is dangerously comforting.

Why Indian Kid's Crush Their Parents Dreams

I feel bad for Indian parents. They are portrayed as backward,  narrow-minded or oppressive.  The usual refrain of " my son will  become an engineer" or "my son will become a doctor" is all that one  expects from them. It is as if they have no better pass-time than to  hound their children into a job of their choice.  From Google If Martin Luther King Jr was Indian, his speech would be titled 'I have a dream,for my son'.  Most youngsters 'give in' to their parents whims and dejectedly spend  well-earned money (their parents,not theirs) on fulfilling the  maa-baap ka dream.

Because, even in waiting, there is etiquette. I shouldn't cut the line for movie tickets just because I'm a kid.  I had to respect how much everyone else has waited. Also they'll call you a brat child if you do that. (I  cut the line numerous times. I was a brat but at least I was a brat with movie tickets.What's the use of being small if I didn't use it.).Waiting at an ATM machine is bad enough without the person behind you going tsk in your ear. Maybe they think that makes the wait shorter. Waiting for my coffee to come doesn't give me permission to lean and rest my head on the co...
