Lean on

For a few years
I've beenLeaning on .. Leaning on
and in your love
I've been absent minded (x2)

you don't even talkor say hi
every couple of days you are in a new mood
even though am leaning on (x2)

For a few years I've been
Leaning on .. Leaning on
and in your love
I've been absent minded (x2)

you don't even talkor say hi
every couple of days you are in a new mood
even though am leaning on (x2)

I've been to all countries
I've walked in all countries
inside my heart i keep your picture
oh my love how this distance is going to end
why don't you end this separation (x2)

you don't even talkor say hi
every couple of days you are in a new mood
even though am leaning on ..... leaning on ... leaning on (x2)

For a few years I've been
Leaning on .. Leaning on
and in your love
I've been absent minded

you don't even talkor say hi
every couple of days you are in a new mood
even though am leaning on ..... leaning on ... leaning on (x2)

I have reached the sky
even above the clouds
I drew your eye with a star
and i forgot in the skyall the pain
and i came back only with love

you don't even talkor say hi (x2)
every couple of days you are in a new mood
even though am leaning on ..... leaning on ... leaning on

For a few years I've been
Leaning on .. Leaning onand in your love

Epistolary novel

An epistolary novel is a novel written as a series of documents. The usual form is letters, although diary entries, newspaper clippings and other documents are sometimes used. Recently, electronic "documents" such as recordings and radio, blogs, and e-mails have also come into use. The word epistolary is derived through Latin from the Greek word ἐπιστολή epistolē, meaning a letter (see epistle).The epistolary form can add greater realism to a story, because it mimics the workings of real life. It is thus able to demonstrate differing points of view without recourse to the device of an omniscient narrator.

Incredible bravery of acid attack victim

Patricia Lefranc was left horrifically disfigured after her jilted lover sprayed sulphuric acid on her face. The 48-year-old lady spent three months in a coma. She lost the sight of one eye, became partially deaf, and had to endure 86 surgical operations. Two years have passed since the attack; still the acid continues to erode her skin and eat away her nose. Being mocked by her son’s school friends, being stared at in the street, being cited as example to unyielding girls by threatening lovers..., the horror and shame of it haunts her in myriad forms. 'Remes has ruined my life as a woman. I am determined to look him in the eye and show the jury what he has done to me. I would also appeal to his wife. She paints me as a manipulator who hooked her husband. I think that's an insult - a dagger in my back.'Richard Remes, the accused, has apologised for the attack; but he denies that he intended to murder or even maim her, confessing that he did not realise that the acid would have such horrible consequences.The story goes that Ms. Lefranc was a janitor in the apartments where the accused Mr. Remes had been living with his wife and children. There he fell into an affair with her, and when she wanted to close it after two years, showered the attack.

An old letter: Year 2000

You know I've got 4 pet snails--I don't particularly love snails--but I guess I'm trying to make a quiet, rather shy, almost inadvertent philosophical statement . . . they represent my present state of life--I'd have bought fishes--but I didn't--because fishes are restless, hyperactive--snails are sluggish, slothful . . . Life in Hyderabad is snail-paced. Laid-back. Living in the Old City is a proverbial Sisyphean-ordeal. Mediocre, myopic people -- and their obstinate mind-sets. Stray dogs-and-other predatory creatures infested--riot-and-blackout prone neighborhoods. I don't mean to sound snobbish. I still love my city -- its heritage--at least. But I feel so sorry for 'em. Anyway, I shouldn't write a sob-story. What's happening in my life? Hmm . . . Looking for a bride -- Re-reading From Heaven Lake: Travels through Sinkiang and Tibet by Vikram Seth -- Playing Jim Corbett: Reinventing mousetraps -- relentless skirmishes with intrepid roaches and lizards that often intrude into my elbowroom -- niece persuaded me to start blogging -- trying to co-exist with a would-be man-eater -- she's fierce and monstrous -- Sona -- a miniature wildcat -- loves mauling me -- this place is haunting me -- hate telly -- home-alone -- love scarecrows -- life has turned into a seesaw: hope and despair . . .

Pakistan: Rogue State

"Levy brilliantly combines a sharply observed diary of how it feels to track the terrorist trail, as Danny Pearl attempted, with passionate political and philosphical denunciation of Pakistan, which he labels 'the biggest rogue of all the rogue states of today."' -- The Philadelphia Inquirer
(Who Killed Daniel Pearl by Bernard-Henri Levy)
