  • we used to go near patel chest to have paranthe and bread makkhan and tea...
    never went to VKRV... KMC's gatekeeper was cool never stopped anyone :)
    though i was not in hostel but my friends used to join us at the parantha wala...
    not all college gatekeepers are as cool...dude! I believe even in Ramjas there was no roka- toki, but then we were reading in a holy cow!! ;)
    Holy cow! =))

  • sinha47 bhai raat me kitni der tak padhte ho.mera matlab jagna nai padhne se hai ;-)
  • Anybody awake? What are you reading?

    Going through A L Basham - Worst history book ever! More like a story book. The guy keeps putting forward what he "thinks must have been" and irritates me to hell. Are historians supposed to assume so much? When you assume, you make an A** of U and ME.

    Land reforms
  • Still zipping through Basham. Noting unsurmised points.
  • Verenius (Geo optional)

    @ArindamSarkar - Books of ancient history are like that only full of assumptions bcs we can't really say what exactly happened due to lack of resources. and that's why historians fight a lot!!
    Also, Basham has said in the preface that he'll try to write what is 'generally' accepted by the historians abt a certain issue.
    In academic circles saying " I think this must have been" is much better than saying "this is what happened".

    Chronicle Magazines from Jan onwards, Are you reading "the wonder that was India" ?
