Colombo before there was a Colombo!!!

Sound needs to be cleaned up or ad captioning. Really good story. Surprised I have never seen it before. This very well could have been where they invented the great Colombo. It is Colombo to a tee.

Very interesting to read about the REAL King of Siam. It seems that our Anna was a fraud, and made her name up and her history, too. Hmmm. Interesting that the general public isn't aware of this.

I was on the fence about reading this book, but my friend convinced me that is was no different than reading the Twilight series and the fact the Natavia is one of my favorite authors, I downloaded it and started reading and could not put it down!!!! Goon and Kanya are identifiable couples...trying to love someone while trying to know and love oneself!!!! I was taken on a journey through a time that I wish I could have been a part of; everything about the ancient Egypt era intrigues me so it was a plus for me that the setting of the book was during this time period!!!! In true Natavia fashion, she did not disappoint!!!! My inner beast was surely released!!!!

I have attached a photo of the "Baldwin Cottage" in Lakewood , NJ.
I am a descendant of this Baldwin line.
I came across this book recently and believe she may have been the sister to my GG Grandfather but haven't confirmed. I read all I could of the digital version last night and will order a copy as well as order a copy of this reprint.

I agree with author's description of  Adika Masa  and interpretation of nakshatras based on Hindu calendar , that's why I give three  stars.

The author proposed 12200 BCE as the period of Ramayana, which seems to be wrong. As per geological simulations, Fourteen  thousand years ago Sri Lanka was land locked with South India and why would Vanaras  build  a bridge to crossover??

Sometime after 9000 BCE the plate tectonic shift might have separated the Ceylon  from South India. The original author of Ramayana, Valmiki  mentioned that Ramayanam occurred in  the 24th Treta yuga and the author of this book "Historic Rama"  didn't use this information to correlate the astronomical observations.

The Nala Setu or Rama Setu  should be considered as  one of the marvelous civil engineering tasks  of ancient times.  The bridge was made of wooden logs, boulders and rocks;  even  if you engage one Million Vanaras a day it would take several months to build the 30 kilometer bridge. Where as author mentioned that it took  (10) ten days for the  completion  the bridge, this itself shows that the timing of Ramayana is incorrect.

The bridge (Nala Setu) exists even today but submerged  9 feet deep inside the sea.  If you calculate rise of sea level because of the glacier melt down and also take  the archaeological and geological sedimentation data into consideration the Ramayana might have occurred somewhere between 6000BC and 7500BC.

Now this is what you call HORROR!!!

Vikram Bhatt has really done an awesome job on this one...I promise you that it is absolutely scary! The beginning had me biting my nails!!!

Sanjana is a wreck because her husband, Aditya worries more about his job than her. She meets with an accident and she tells Aditya that she wants to go to Ooty, for a holiday together, to rekindle their love.

In Ooty, she is haunted by *something* but no one else believes her other than Prof. Agni Swaroop. She struggles with coming to terms of being haunted. She soon learns *why* she is being haunted and she is livid on her findings.

I am not giving to much away because you just have to watch this and see for yourself.

The soundtrack is my favourite & I even listen to it ALL THE TIME!

I simply enjoyed this movie then.......and I enjoy this movie now!!  I loved the suspense that it kept as to who was the killer!  This is truly the one that started it all!!  Though this movie is a bit dated, it still  serves as a classic!

Amazing that a Sory line that Started in 1975, could become such a good movie 28 years later. Especially when the Lead Character Matt Damon (Jason Bourne) was only 5 years old, when Robert Ludlem first saw his book hitting the shelves.
Even I can remember the book sitting on my Gradparents Coffee Table when I was a child. Especially when My Grandfathers Lastname is infact.."BOURNE"......how Ironic.
I rate this movie a strong Thumbs Up.......and would love to see the Other two books become sequals to the First.!!

This was an excellant film..... displaying the "Real World" of what was underground fighting in our country and around the world .... international fighting & fatal combat arena's..... which back then & still now you had to have money & elite connections (The only way???) to go see them and heard they were very bloody & brutal..! Big T.

Me cautiv!!!!
Una historia con contenido. Pasin, control, dolor, unin, dudas, confianza y ms encontrars en esta bella novela escrita por una gran autora y (menos mal que se decidi a publicarla) .
Si quieres leer algo donde ellos no tienen el poder de decidir por una, no puedes perdrtela.
Puedes identificarte sin problemas con Emma, hasta sentir sus temores, en cuanto a Leo ... ahhh es tan dulce y jugado a la vez que te enamoras sin darte cuenta.
Te encuentras con una historia diferente donde el control y las decisiones estn a cargo de ella.. hasta que se anima a ceder.
En fin ... debes leerla y sacar tus propias conclusiones, no te arrepentirs!!!
Recomendada al 100%.
Gracias NS Luna por regalarnos una parte de tu imaginacin!!!!

I have been to Sri Lanka just once....but that one trip was enough to suggest that it was a deeply divided island much like the books title suggest. The north and east were strictly no travel zones, in fact my tour operator even refused to go to Anuradhapura...which is really central Sri Lanka because of the tiger threat. As a tourist, it was hard to imagine why things were so bad- after all the Tamils and the Sinhalas have inhabited this island for such a long time.
Samanth's book is a towering exposition on what is wrong with Sri Lanka. The writing is not definitive in the sense of taking sides. All Samanth is doing is presenting you with many stories from all corners of the island, but as you read along, you start to realize that the issues are so dense and deep rooted that despite a much talked about conclusive war, things are unlikely to heal for a long time.
Somewhere in the middle of the narrative; Samanth is asked what kind of a book he is writing.....and he is left wondering if the book will do justice to the stories he is taking notes on. The author feels like a parasite, who is feeding off his host without a clear objective.
All I can say, is that there has not been a better book on Sri Lanka; and if the ghosts of that conversation are still haunting the author, he can rest assured that he has written a wonderful book. Sure, he can't be expected to solve the problem, but he has given us a much needed insider view on what ails a beautiful country
