Read the Erotic Novel "Mistress" by Anonymous

Some books  are to savoured, some tasted and some studied deeply, but some books are a fleeting pastime. One such book is "Mistress". It is written by an unknown author and so obviously labelled as anonymous. But its a book that is worth a read in case your forte is erotic tales like me.

The story surrounds a haughty mistress who is of course very lovely. She repeatedly spurns her lover till he finally decides on a ruse to make her capitulate and give herself to him. He makes an elaborate plan and lures her to a chamber where he ties her with silken cords and then proceeds to gently love her as ordained in the Kamasutra with tongue and caresses. The lady is overwhelmed and submits to her lover and the bonds are removed as they make ferocious love.

Feminists will find this book a little difficult to understand as it brings out the age old art of seduction and that a women if assiduously wooed will end up in the arms of her admirer. The best way to bring the pride of a woman down is to pleasure her. I wonder how many will believe in this.

All this is watched by the maid who is also seduced by the gentleman. It finally ends in a threesome and that can be titillating to read, but in practice will need great stamina. Its a nice book and a pastime when you have an hour to while away. Read it, it will do a man a world of good.

Holiday at the Mercure Grand hotel at Jebel Hafeet

Our friends recommended that we spend a day at the Mercure Grand Hotel at Jebel Hafeet. This is a five star resort about 30 km from  Al Ain in the mountains. The resort is located at an altitude of 1300 meters and a 17 km road winds up to the resort. The road is beautiful as it is cut through sheer rock.

The resort is one of the most beautiful I have seen and is nestled in the rocky mountains that tower over Al Ain. Incidentally Al Ain is 130 km from Abu Dhabi. We drove in our hired car and the drive was smooth and easy as touching 140-150 km is no big deal given the excellent road.

The resorthas a lovely temperature controlled swim pool and a café that looks down on Al Ain. It is an exclusive joint with a belly dancer performing in the bar till midnight. Two kilometers up the hill is the highest point in Abu Dhabi and one can sit there and relax. It’s very cold here in February and I wore a leather jacket.

We stayed only for a day, but it was wonderful. I however missed Indian food as that is not part of the menu

Judge who hanged Saddam Hussein is Executed

Justice Done?

Saddam was overthrown in questionable circumstances. He was accused of amassing WMD( Weapons of Mass Destruction) by George Bush and his crony Tony Blair. Both knew that this was a blatant lie, yet they sold this lie to the world. Perhaps George Bush and his partner believed in the adage attributed to Dr,Goebbels that "A lie repeated a100 times becomes a truth"

So great was the lie that on 23 June 2014 Hillary Clinton in an interview to Barkha Dutt of NDTV confessed that she had been misled as to the existence of WMD and voted in favor of an invasion of Iraq.

Saddam was captured and after a farcial trial executed. The Judge who presided over this drama was Raouf Abdul Rahman. He was appointed judge after the previous judge Razgar Amin was removed for being too lenient.

Judge Rahman began to treat Saddam as a common criminal and signed his death warrant. It is understood that Bush was one of the first to be informed that Saddam will hang.

Now the ISIS had captured Rahman and it was on the cards he would pay for what he had done. As per reports on facebook and information by a Jordanian MP , Judge Rahman was captured while leaving Baghdad by the ISIS two days back. He tried to escape disguised as a dancer.Saddam loyalists who are with the ISIS were also baying for his blood..

It is now confirmed that Saddam loyalists insisted on his execution and he was summarily executed 2 days back. The wheel has turned full circle and the folly of Bush and the Iraq war is exposed. As a soldier/Airman and a combatant I am appalled that Bush sent over 4000 young men of America to death, by stating a lie.. The world must now try George Bush as a war criminal. The Japanese leadership in another farcial trial in Tokyo in 1946, were handed death sentence for much less than this

Botched execution in America: How Could it Happen ?

America is the world leader in executions after China. Sometimes I wonder why the American criminal justice procedure condones so many executions. One would hope that with all these executions, the Americans would have perfected an ideal method to execute a criminal. I am afraid it is not so and the recent execution of Dennis McGuire is food for thought.

In America the method of execution is by injection of a lethal drug or by strapping to an electric chair. Both these methods in my opinion are more barbaric than a simple hanging.  In the case of Dennis McGuire he was injected with the lethal drug but he struggled for 25 minutes before he died. He was gasping a number of times.  There is no doubt that McGuire deserved to die for his crime of killing a pregnant woman, but surely this torture could have been avoided.

Lord Buddha’s Begging Bowl is in Kabul Museum

Lord Buddha is the founder of the Buddhist faith. Though Buddhism is given the place of a separate religion, yet the fact is that it has elements of Hinduism and the Buddha is recognized as the 9th Avatar of the supreme Deity Vishnu. One of the principles adopted by Buddha was one of feeding the poor and giving alms. He also espoused the case of a monk begging and living on alms and charity.
Buddha himself used a begging bowl and now it has come to light that a begging bowl is on display at the Kabul Museum in Afghanistan. The Bowl has Islamic inscriptions on it and that is the reason it escaped destruction at the hand of the Taliban.
We know that Buddha used a begging bowl in Vaishili when he was there in 5th century BC. This bowl is supposed to be the one on display at Kabul Museum. It is a gigantic bowl and weighs 40 kg with a diameter of 5ft 7 inch. The Chinese traveller to India Hiuen Tsang has referred to this bowl in his writings. Now archeologists from the ASI in India are studying this unique exhibit. However one wonders how Buddha could have begged for alms with such a heavy bowl.

Does a Relationship with a younger woman stimulate greater achievement for a man

The title of this short post is pretty explicit. In short, it means that a sexual relationship brings out the genius of an older man. A study of the great men of the world shows that this is  not an exception but almost a rule.
Look at Picasso and Alberto Moravia or for that matter, any successful man in any field a relationship with a woman considerably younger than the man, perhaps adds to the man's creative powers.
The ancient Indian granth's ( holy books)elucidate on this aspect of a man-woman relationship. Tantra sex recommends a sexual relationship with a younger woman for a man’s intellect to flower.
There is little doubt that such a relationship is one that has very beneficial effects. Research in some western universities has confirmed this.
It’s a tricky subject shrouded in prudery and convention. Most societies frown on such sexual liaisons, but again they are very much a part of the scenario.the proof of the pudding is in its eating and one must get into a relationship with a younger woman to experience the truth of what the Granths say
