A Zorse called Eclyse


zorse = zebra(male) + horse (female).

This zorse was born to a zebra called Ullyses and a horse called Eclispe . The zebra patterns look more like a work of art .Strange are the ways of nature.

Had to go to the office today . But the only consolation is we are going to watch the movie "Sivaji" . The much talked about and much hyped about movie .

I guess the "greater than God " image for some actors can be attributed to the characters they play , which are more closer to depicting the everyday struggles of common people and eventually fighting it out . I guess it gives a sense of hope. Anyway , this movie has to be watched atleast to know how the 95 crores was spent .

Completed the book "The Afgan " by Fredrick Forsyth . One of those books that has you biting your nails till the very end . I was surprised to see some characters in his story belonging to Kerala,India. Not sure why he chose this part of India though . The initial chapters were a drag but as the story progressed it was truly gripping .

The book is about a British war veteran Mike Martin infiltrating into the AQ( you know who ) terrorist group to gain information about their operation named Al-Isra.Only in the last 2 or 3 chapters do the readers as well as the hero Mike Martin know what Al-Isra is all about .

Forsyth seems to be one of those writers who goes into minute details about the technical aspects of the tools used in espionage/spying/military operations .

I am going to read some more of his books now .

Reading Fredrick Forsyth's "The Afgan" . Just finished reading chapter 3 . He seems to have researched a lot on how the intelligence agencies work (brit,usa as well as the other international ones) . The book doesn't at all feel fictious .
