Since last month, I was engrossed in improving my English reading and developing English speaking habit. Various methods are devised by people, the most basic and efficient one is to read novels (for speaking: add 'loudly'). This serves as a two way sword; you read and doesn't fatigue. Well, the content has to be intriguing. I read an article about Jeffrey Archer and his upcoming novel 'A Prisoner of Birth'. I completed reading it and wanted to continue.
On suggestion of one of my friend's friend, I bought Khalid Hosseini's 'The Kite Runner'. This was the best choice I had made till date. I could empathize with the pain inflicted on millions of people in Afghanistan. But this was the background over which the real story prospered. There were two protagonists, one was just like me and 'U'; the other one was incredibly loyal. The story depicts how a man down with a vice of cowardice, overcomes this trait to redeem himself in the omnipresent eyes of the 'other one'. Yes, the 'other one' was dead before the 'one' could even express his guilt.
Read it if you prefer genuine reading stuff.

Finfiesta : Revolutionizing Book Lending
Ideas are like butterflies !! the more you try to catch hold of it, the more it eludes you. So, then how the great Ideas are generated. Well, we have a perfect recipe for that, have a tight deadline, have 10 people discussing all the wiered things in the world, and then we come across some of the path breaking ideas. Fin-Fiesta, the pathbreaking online book lending portal, is also concieved in the similar way.
Fin-Fiesta is an online portal which acts as a book repository for the students of IMT. In this repository, people can add their books ( off course non-academic) and people can also order the books from the Pool. To ease out the things, the whole process would be done online . Students can just add the title of book, and they can also order bookd of their liking. Once the order is placed against a book, it would be taken from the owner and provided to the customer on the minimal weekly rent. The person whose book has been rented from the pool, will also be benefitted with some portion of the rent going to them.
Starting with an idea, we hope to create a culture of book reading and sharing, so that IMT people do not have to go to delhi or other palces, and buy the costly books. We generally do have books which we have read and could be shared to other people.Its a win-win situation for all.
We are still in nascent stage of our venture , and we hope to grab the pulse of IMT, with your co-operation and active participation. Together, we aim to achieve the new heights which will create a wonderful legacy in IMT Ghaziabad
