Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind...

Why do bookshop stories comfort us? Review of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

You often reach for gentle stories when life feels heavy. This long-form review looks at Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and its sequel as one continuous experience.

Why do we turn to quiet books when life feels unbearably loud? Have you noticed how, when everything feels too noisy, too demanding, and too sharp, you do not want fireworks from a book ?
