If Tomorrow Comes

If Tomorrow Comes ImageThis book is about a young girl – Tracy Whitney, who works for a renowned bank as a computer operator. Tracy’s life was looking all set and she was about to marry a wealthy guy until one fine morning when she receives the news of her mother committing suicide. And the next thing which happened was that she finds herself in prison framed by a mafia don.

Tracy’s life turned upside down when her fiance refused to come to her rescue to protect family name and then she was sexually assaulted by fellow inmates. All these experiences strengthen Tracy’s determination to avenge herself on those who destroyed her life. In the prison a whole lot of drama unfolds when she was trying to escape but she managed to secure a pardon from governor after saving the warden’s daughter from drowning.

Once outside the prison Tracy eliminated her enemies quickly and then was unable to secure a job because of her prison background. This forced Tracy to get into a different world and she became a Con. There she was very successful but was continuously challenged by another Con called Jeff Stevens. During all her adventures as a Con, Tracy was continuously followed by an evil genius investigator Daniel Cooper.

Towards the end both Tracy and Jeff fall into love and decided to Mary and retire until Tracy met…… (Read the book to find out what happened)

When I started this book I was under the impression that the entire book will cover Tracy’s adventure in trying to avenge herself, but that was quickly over in few chapters the moment Tracy was released out of the prison. The rest of the book consists of Tracy’s life as a Con where she dupes the rich and ruthless of their prized possessions.

This is another page turner by Sidney Sheldon and the continuous flow of Tracy’s adventures doesn’t let you stop.

Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing Lasts Forever ImageThis book is about three young medical intern girls who were working in a county hospital in San Fransisco. One of them almost closed the hospital down, one murders a patient and inherits the one million dollars and one got herself murdered. In between this the author has demonstrated the then mental make up of American people that how hard it was for people to “not accept” female doctors and always to treat females as an object of sexual desires.

The book started little slow but picked up pace gradually. I liked the absolutely faced paced climax. it was over in around one page or less. Except the prologue and last chapter the book was in a flashback style.

Installing Mutt on Mac OS X

Apple’s Mac OS X has a beautiful graphical user interface, but under that there is a solid unix foundation. OS X is based on FreeBSD. This unix foundation has allowed OS X to have a native unix command line interface support.

I was usingĀ mutt as my primary email client for many years. But from the past three years or so I chose to move to Mail, the native OS X MUA, primarily due to my requirement of managing my calendar. However, very recently I decided to make another attempt to move to mutt and today is the day when I am installing mutt in my MacBook.

Discovery Of India

An excellent book which gives an overview and understanding of the glorious intellectual and spiritual tradition of India and how the British forced the economic, moral and intellectual decline of India by vicious exploitation of the Indian people.

The content of this book shows the depth of knowledge Mr Nehru possess. He has referred numerous texts and books in this work, all of these references was not possible to be arranged inside the prison. He wrote this book entirely in a prison and wrote over thousand pages of manuscript on papers which he arranged through great difficulty.

A must read for every person who wants to make an attempt towards understanding India.
