A woman is an individual too

Women never seem to have an independent identity it seems; no matter how good they may be in their individual capabilities.

Take for instance today's front page in Business Standard today which carried a picture of Chelsea Clinton. The title of the photograph is " Just married - Mr. and Mrs. Mezvinsky".

Before marriage, Chelsea was known by her father's name and now after marriage by her husband's name.

On a similar note, I wonder when newspapers print such things, do they bother to investigate (in this case for example), whether Chelsea wants to be known as Mrs. Mezvinsky or would rather use her maiden name?

Dork by Sidin Vadukut

Dork - ' The incredible adventures of Robin Einstein Varghese'
Price Rs. 199
Penguin Publications

A refreshing change after reading poor quality so called literary pieces of fiction that are being written by taking advantage of the alumni 'brand name' - this book does not fall in that bad literature category.

The book is engrossing, witty and humorous and tells the story of Robin Were Geese - who is a dork and his experiences in a consulting firm. For those who enjoy humour, this is a 'must not miss'. Written in a diary format, which has suited the story very well, the book describes the inane work that a lot of us do in the corporate world.

I have seldom come across books which have good humour primarily because writing humour is much tougher than acting it. A great source of entertainment, it is bound to keep the reader glued to the book till the very last page.
