Many people had read the book 1st and then watched the movie. I, on the other hand, watched the movie 1st, which I did not understand at all. But now, I have finally read the book and whilst reading, the entire movie was visualised. I felt, I did the right thing.
Dan Brown's book is a work of fiction. The book gets more and more intriguing with each page. I am a very slow reader. I tend to feel sleepy after reading 1-2 pages. But nevertheless I have finally finished reading the book after almost 2 months.
The entire book is based on a one night event from the death of the curator ie Jacques Sauniere in Paris to finding the answer to all the mazes in London. The Grand daughter to the priory – Sofya and the historian Langdon who later on take the help of a knight – Sir Leigh Teabing all together try to solve the puzzles put forth by the Grand Master of the Priory – Jacques Sauniere.
The Heiros Gamos (sacred marriage) ritual is performed by the Priory of Sion every year in Mid March. Its all about the feminine and the amount of respect she truly deserves. Agreed women are still not given the right importance and respect, and I am very sure the women of today will not allow themselves to be part of such rituals either.
Dan Brown also mentions the names of the grand masters from the 11th century onwards and the final grandmaster was Jacques Sauniere. (Was he existent? Never heard of him till I read the book.)
As per my understanding the Da Vinci is so called, as it focuses mostly on the paintings done by Leonardo Da Vinci. The symmetries in his paintings ie The Vitruvian Man, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa to other great works of his. It so seems to me that Dan Brown has discovered some findings over the course of the years and what better way to reveal it than through a novel that stated anti Christ elements. This was the only way to make his novel a best seller.
The lines on page 369-370 read as: “Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith-acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through modern Sunday School. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors.
Religious allegory has become a part of the fabric of reality. And living in that reality helps millions of people cope and be better people."
When I decided to write a post on da vinci, daniel (not Dan Brown) made a statement saying so you agree with Dan Brown. I said I don't, but I would like to provide my views.
My statement is clear, not Dan Brown not anyone can change our faith. But yes, it is true, all that is in the Bible or in any other religious book may not be the whole truth. It keeps getting changed with there being add ons / deletions due to translations, discoveries, etc. It is our belief / our faith that counts at the end of the day and this is what helps us to grow as better individuals.
With regard to Mary Magdalene being present at the Last Supper, ha ha.. Leonardo da Vinci in Brown's book itself was alive in the 15th Century. Nor Jesus nor Mary were living then. The Last Supper is a drawing of the artist's imagination. Stop staring at the Last Supper in your house. It is not the real Last Supper image. The Last Supper happened in secret. Christ did not have time to pose for an artist before his death.
Faith has been built in us over the years, through our family, the Church, the Sunday School and our community. Any movie that comes out with the idea to change our faith, should be viewed with an open mind. If we are poor in faith, then ANYTHING will influence us.
Just like flowers and leaves will fall during the winter, but new buds will arrive in summer, in the same way many anti Christ elements will come out over the course of the years. We too will fall in life at some point of time, but we will get new life and thus renew our faith once again. Many will target Christianity as we are very strong in our faith, and believe me, we are definitely not in a minority. This is seen from the amount of people that attended the funeral of Pope John Paul II, Lady Diana and Mother Theresa.
As stated in the Da Vinci code, the Church tried to kill the members of the Priory of Sion as it had some secret information which would shake the Christian faith. Also mentioned is the Opus Dei and their work to be more public. Finally the Church was proven innocent. They were not involved in any way.
The secret is finally revealed in the Da Vinci? Is it existent? Has anyone checked its presence? None have, so obviously the book is a fake.
Till then, KEEP THE FAITH!!

Creative Workshop of SJC
S - Sunday
J - Joy
C - Club
We no longer call it Sunday School as we are trying our best to use methods not used at school and make it more creative and fun for the kids at the club.
Hence the Director felt a need to enhance our creativity by holding a workshop.
On 12th November, we as usual had our class 1st. We then met in the Nihar School Hall. Nihar School is the school for children with slow learning processes.
We started off with a bang. Each class has 2 catechists. In this round the 2 co-catechists had to exchange shoes with one another and walk in their shoes. This was basically trying to explain if we are able to co-operate and be comfortable with one another or totally uneasy. A few of the male catechists had to walk with 4" heels and the ladies with gents shoes. After this round, we started with a prayer to be more understanding towards our co-catechist to enhance productivity.
The 1st round was started by Fr. Nigel. In this round, the catechists were divided into groups of 6 and were further sub divided into groups of 2. Here the catechists were to show of their creativity by telling the other catechists a story about themselves that was most peculiar / strange. In my group, my story was the best and hence the catechists to whom I had told my story had to go onto the stage and speak out. She had to make it even more interesting and tell a story like she would to the kids. From each of the groups of 6, a catechist had to come out and tell the best story. All of these were video shot and then Fr told us the areas where we were making mistakes and how to improvise in terms of dramatic enhancement, not using ghost words, etc.
Round 2 was even more innovative. The group of 6 were to draw a chart making it most colourful and explain the journey to faith. In each group the most naughtiest catechist was given a black / purple crayon. They were not allowed to speak but they had to be a part of the group and put in their contribution. Each of the catechist with the black crayon put in a huge part to the poster. And all of it in black. This only goes to show that that naughtiest in the class have the most to contribute.
In Round 3 the catechists were placed as per their standards to decide on what the syllabus for the 2nd term should be and to plan out the Annual Day.
We ended the workshop by 3:30 pm, after a lot of creativity and ideas on teaching being imparted into us.
Thank you Fr. Nigel. From the 3 years at Sunday School, this was a totally different experience.
Kya Hoga Nimmo ka?
Have you heard of this serial? Well! If you have not, then you will hear about it now.
Any Guesses who has directed this serial?
By?
By?
Its a K Serial, for Pete's sake. Its none other than Ektaa Kapoor.
Anyways, this is the only serial I actually watch apart from Nach Baliye these past few weeks.
This serial started about more than a year ago. Before the serial could begin, there were the usual round of promos that were on air. I hated the promos and used to switch channels the moment I knew it was pertaining to Nimmo.
But then dad, mom and me decided to watch the serial from day 1 as the write ups were looking good too.
Nimmo is a funny girl, and accident prone too. Does she sound familiar? She loved life and her family even more. Rings a bell?
Anyways although daniel keeps telling me that Nimmo and I have a lot in commoon, I would like to tell you about this serial that I watch faithfully.
Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka is very different from the rest of the K serials. It is aired on Star One for half an hour starting at 10 pm. Its from Mon - Thurs and the full recap is shown on Sat morn
Nimmo is the eldest of 3 girls and she is very very close to her dad. They have a great understanding and respect towards each other. Nimmo always messes up wherever she goes, this even includes her interviews. Hence it was always difficult for her to get a job.
This is the life of a middle class joint family. The house is shared by the dad and his brother's family.
Due to a rich family household politics, they are forced to leave their house and start living in the slums. Her dad suffers a massive heart attack at the same time. Being all girls, Nimmo takes it upon herself to help out the family in their difficult times. She does not have success with her interviews as yet. She comes across an ad in the paper where she sees a marriage proposal for a year. She decides to go ahead with the ad as she is desperate for money.
After signing the bond, she comes to know that the bond is prepared by the very same rich family's son, Kunal. She hates him and his family but now has no choice but to enter into marriage. In the meantime, Kunal out of his good nature gets back the house for them. The only 2 people who know about this bond is Kunal's man servant and Nimmo's Kaanta masi.
Obviously the marriage happens but Kunal's family does not accept Nimmo and try to do everything to break the marriage. But Kunal's dadaji is the main household authority and he is very very fond of Nimmo and her family.
Anyways like all K serials, there has to be a twist somewhere. Kunal meets the girl he was madly in love with at some point of time when he was out on his honeymoon. His grandma and aunts keep scheming to bring the two of them together and destroying Kunal's marriage. (Rich family people have so much time on their hands in comparison to middle class or poor families.)
Then one day the aunty succeeds. She brings forward Kunal's marriage bond and sends it by courier to both Kunal and Nimmo's house. By this time though Kunal and Nimmo have fallen in love with one another. But Nimmo decides to leave the house and go to Delhi, so that Kunal can get married to the girl he truly loved.
Nimmo returns after a year as she is through with trying to hide from her loved one. Kunal's marriage has also completed a year. Like in all Ektaa's serials, time passes really fast.
Kunal realises when he bumps into Nimmo again that he had never ever stopped loving her at all. But now he is married to someone else. Will Nimmo and Kunal come back together again. Will the Sehgal and Maturya family re-unite?
This is a fun serial with a lot of drama too. Star One is the channel meant for the youth. I am sure you will enjoy this serial as much as my mom and I do.

BENGALOORU
Are you wondering what is Bengalooru? Take a look at the image below and then you will guess right.
I know most of you are waiting to hear about my trip and have also asked me to update my blog. Now you will get posts from me regularly as I am back in town.
I left for Bangalore (will stick with Bangalore, as I am still not used to Bengalooru) on 19th Oct. My dear colleague Harish came in the morning around 7 am to pick my luggage and he took it with him till Parel. I left for work in the morn as usual. Hired a car which picked me from Nariman Point. On the way went to Parel to collect my luggage. Reached around 5:15 pm. Finished with my baggage checking and check in. Then there was a problem. In Mumbai airports all bags are opened, contents taken out and checked. I had with me a handbag and a sports bag which consisted of all my shampoos, conditioner and other essentials, and of course my sweater and jacket as its normally cold in Bangalore. In my sports bag was a sealed almond oil bottle, which the cops created a problem over. Anyways after a lot of debate they allowed me to take the bottle but confiscated my scissors.
My flight left half an hour late at 7 pm, but still reached by 8:10 pm. As usual Dan was busy with work and sent his friend to meet me at the airport. Yeah! a friend I had briefly met in June. So obviously the 2 of us were searching for one another at the airport. Then finally a place was decided on, to meet. But there were too many people out there as well. I decided to be bold and approached a young lad with a lady by his side and by golly, I was right. It was him and he surprised me by bringing his newly married wife along.
Then he put the 2 of us in a hired car and came along on his byke. Neither his wife nor I knew the place. Finally I gave it a shot, as this is the regular place I live in and voila, we reached.
Dan came about half an hour late. In the meantime, I got ready and then we immediately went out for dinner. This was the beginning of my stay in B'lore.
During the course of the 10 days, we went the the disc (Amoeba) at Leela's, trekking to Nandi Hills, did a lot of shopping, watched 2 movies - Lage Raho Munna Bhai (INOX) and Ant Bully (PVR), the video game and bowling alley (Amoeba). Oh! I had a great bowling experience. I played so poorly this time. Every time it was my turn, the ball would go to the side. Bad Aim!! So I stopped playing and Dan and his friend took over my game. Went twice to the Museum as there was so much to see. There is a huge dinosaur in the museum and he brings his face right in front of you and stares. Its really cool. Dan and I were like 2 kids in the museum, eager to check out each and every item.
This time did not get a chance to visit any of the parks/gardens and was deeply disappointed that I was unable to make time to be amidst the greenery. The best part was the rains at this time of the year. It made it so cozy for dan and me, not to forget really brrr, I mean cold.
We tried out all sorts of food from Mughlai to Kerala food, Chinese to Italian and Thai. It explains the amount of weight I have gained. I also had a good amount of home food cooked by Dan's mom and not to forget the best Rose Cookies I have ever had, prepared by the Big Man, Daniel himself
Met with all of his friends, and of course his family.
Finally, all good things come to an end and soon it was time to leave. I like Bangalore airport better. There was no such opening of bags and checking. Had a great flight. When we were to reach Mumbai, we did not get a clearance for landing and kept hovering over the Arabian sea for about 10 minutes. We did land eventually but in the international airport due to some maintenance problem. From the international airport the plane went via road to the Domestic airport.
I am back in Mumbai now, missing Dan terribly with each passing day. Back to the hot, brown, polluted life of Mumbai.

My Diet Plan
I am back after a nice long, fattening holiday and now its time to get back on track, literally.
Before I do so, I would like to share with you my diet plan. You could try it out too. It has been recommended by Mehernaaz, a dietician.
7:30 am : Breakfast
a) Eggs + 2 Toasts + Milk
b) Porridge + Milk
c) Chappatis + Eggs(Half Boiled/Full Boiled) + Milk
d) Cheese + Toasts + Milk
10:30 am : Mid Morning Snack (Fruit eg. Papaya/Watermelon)
1 - 1:30 pm : Lunch
Non-Veg + Rice/Chappatis + Salad(Egg/Chicken)/Sprouts
5:30 pm : Evening Snack
a) Sandwich + Milk
b) Sandwich + Fruit
(or snacks like bhel, etc)
8 - 8:30 pm : Dinner (Lightest Meal)
Non-Veg + Veg/Salad/Sprouts + Dal
No Rice / Chappati
Dal to be had on an approximate 4 times a week
For those who can't eat plain course, a slice of brown bread or a chappati could be had along with the meal.
PS:
- Fruits of different kind to be had. Bananas about 3 times a week.
- Drink a lot of water approx 3.5-4 litres of water a day.
- Before every meal, drink at least 2 glasses of water 15 minutes before.
- It is adviced to go for a 10 minute walk post your dinner.
- During work hours, make it a point to walk about, every 10-15 minutes.
- Must sleep latest by 11:30 pm, so that the body gets enough rest. The body metabolism process starts from 11 pm and ends by 2 am
- Chappatis should be dry / Maybe a drop of oil could be used for frying.
- Avoid High starch items.
- Eat slowly. Chew your food well. Ensure that it is in liquidified form before swallowing.
*Avoid
- Fried/Oily Food (In case of fry, try grill)
- Processed and Packaged Foods (Maybe once or twice in a month)
- Soft Drinks or Energy Drinks (Eg. Red Bull)
- Excessive Tea / Coffee (Max 2 cups a day. Substitute with Herbal/Chinese/Jasmine Tea)
This is a Non-Veg Diet, as I am not a thorough Veggie.
As you know, diet is not enough to make one reduce. A small amount of exercise is needed too.
I have to walk briskly in the park on the grass for about half an hour for the 1st two weeks and then increase it to 45 minutes. Please bear in mind, you have to use the right sport shoes. Carry a bottle of water and Drink lots of water while walking.
Yes (and this is not advice from Meher), MEDITATION and PRAYER helps one to have a peaceful and fit life.
Another advice is eat out once in a while. I would suggest at least once in a week. There is nothing wrong with it. My mom told me she was more of a coconut fish cury and rice eater and now she has developed taste, but has been adviced only boiled food. Remember we eat to live and not the other way around.
For those of you who would like to know the different high starch / moderate starch or low starch food items, do send me a mail. I will email the diet chart to you.
So! Tomorrow I literally start with my walk on the track. Wanna join me???

Are you Confident???
This morning as I was walking to office and listening to FM as usual, I got a bit of advice and thought that I should share the same on my blog.
Are you confident?
How do you come across at an interview, to the interviewer?
This topic is basically speaking about confidence with an interview as an example. I would like to mention this on my blog, as I know that 70% of you, reading my blog, go for interviews every month.
When you sit for an interview, you should sit straight. Shoulders back, chest a bit out, balance your back properly on the seat and keep your legs firmly on the ground. Do not fidget or slump yourself.
This advice is not only for an interview, but for formal meetings as well. Sitting in this posture will help you to feel confident and more sure of yourself.
So Now,
Are you Confident?.
Do let me know how your interview goes.
Some more advice I would like to give you
- Prepare yourself thoroughly before you go for an interview. Posture is important, but its not the only relevant factor. Today all companies have their history on the web. Go through the web, get an idea on the company history.
- More importantly, prepare yourself for all kinds of questions, the interviewer could ask on yourself. I would suggest the best way to gain confidence is by looking in the mirror and talking about yourself. After all, what is an interview? Its nothing, but selling yourself for what you feel is your current rate in the market.
Here's wishing you All the very Best! Good Luck!
