Was Happy to see the New Party being floated in TN and Venky playing a crucial role. Residents of Chennai can see Venky picture in Banners and posters all over Chennai and I am sure TN. All the very best Venky.
Cheers.

Jesus and Christ
Just through with reading Philip Pullman's The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.(Maha, I assume you have read it.)
It comes as a handy book for beginners too, especially in understanding some aspects of Jesus' life and his teachings. But as the author says, This is a story, and an atheist's interpretation of the life and death of Jesus. Hence good Christians might not exactly appreciate the book. The book portrays Jesus and Christ as twins, and how one betrays the other unwittingly.
But altogether a good narrative and an easy read (which is expected as Pullman is a children's writer). But beneath the seemingly easy prose, there are complex theories, thoughts and questions for us to ponder. I particularly liked the Garden of Gethsamene soliloquy, which reflects some of my doubts and fears.
