Saw 300!!!!
Yesterday I saw 300, the movie in which 300 Spartan Warriors fight against the millions of army-men from Persia.
A great movie to watch and the action sequences are too good & a Do Not Miss movie for any action buff!!!!!
The movie is about the Spartan King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight to the last man against the Persian King Xerxes and his army of more than 1 million soldiers.
The movie has some of the best visual effects and great sound quality. The body parts of the soldiers being slaughtered, the slow motion scene in which Leonidas throws his spear towards Xerxes and cuts his cheek, are awesome!!!!!

Recently finished reading this book i.e. India Unbound by Gurcharan Das. A great book to read and will recommend it to anyone interested in undertanding the modern India.
"In this book India Unbound the author Gurcharan Das offers the ringside view of the economic & the social transformation of
Much of the book consists of the criticism about the Socialist India that Nehru intended to make, which the author claims to be the biggest disadvantage Indian economy had till 1991, when P.V Narasimha Rao, the then India Prime Minister, instituted sweeping reforms that paved the way for extraordinary growth. The author has described these changes in a very subtle and proficient manner."
