Title - Another Tale of Two Cities

Author - Ezhuth Aani

Publishers - Inspire India Publishers

Genre - Fiction

ISBN - 978-93-85783-86-9

The story is an exceptional novel that was woven based on few historical facts coupled with some amazing imagination from the author. Though author wants himself to be excused in case of giving an incorrect info on Buddhism, to my knowledge, I do not feel that is the case.

The story is set on the past which is supposed to be happening in Cambodia where two princes Adithya and Mahendra goes on a journey to find better prospects and coalition for their country. While Adithya goes to Srilanka and India and meet the King and The Emperor and could also manage to get their promise of being helped at the time of need/requirement, Mahendra goes to China and learns the technical knowhow of few aspects.

While Vajragnani is the Guru and was revered, he had a beautiful daughter called Mandagini. Adithya and Mandagini loves each other but when Adithya sets on a journey, he meets up with another dazzling beauty called Visaka. Though his mind was still attracted towards Mandagini, his heart wanted Visaka but he learns about some truth after which he repents for having looked at Visaka with lust.

Mahendra on the other hand was forced to do something against his will and wish. He returns to Cambodia after escaping from China and makes his country real strong. Adithya reaches after 2 years. Most of them by then assumed he was dead. He faces couple of truths which literally shatters his world.

However as a real patriot, he vows to protect his country. Did he manage to strengthen his nation and if yes, at what cost? Did he manage to marry Mandagini?

Read this historical fiction which would not only make you to enjoy the story but also will empower you with lot of information on Buddhism.

Author has woven a story with great precision and I was surprised to hear that this was first published in Tamil and I really cannot imagine as to how the story would have sounded in the native language which surely would have been a hit. The story was given with detailed elaboration of history coupled with the events and would serve as a dual benefit of satisfying one's taste of reading a great novel along with treasure trove information about Buddhism and the culture of South East Asian Nations making it a perfect read for those who loves History.

The book is available on Amazon.

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
