Like the Constitution, Indian society has displayed a remarkable ability to be accommodative of various concerns which seem to be in conflict. ![]() The Constitution does not force its citizens to choose between their rights and their culture, but includes the cultural, social, and religious aspects, in its journey to the goal of a democratic society.” On an optimistic note, he added, “The strength of our Constitution comes from its ability to account for the rich tapestry of human experiences in India, be it culturally, socially, religiously or otherwise, and still chart out a vision for a progressive future. Referring to the principle of accommodation propounded by Granville Austin, an authority on the Indian Constitution, Justice Chandrachud explained, “Accommodation is different from compromise in that the latter involves concessions. The whole concept and idea of ‘unity in diversity’ can only be upheld when the people of our nation are accommodative of one another, by simultaneously applying principles which seem to be in conflict, said Chief Justice D.Y. ![]() ![]() ![]() In No Slam Dunk, #1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica demonstrates once again that there is no children's sports novelist today who can match his ability to weave a story of vivid sports action and heartfelt emotion.

I do think my expectations were slightly too high though and without being able to pinpoint what's missing, it's not a new favorite. It's an exciting book as well, though I will admit some of the subplots struggled to keep my attention through the entire book. And the characters! They're superbly conceived, fully fleshed out and I found most of them fascinating to read about. It's beautiful, it sets the scenes vividly and you truly feel transported back in time in all ways not just with the setting, but with the people and the themes as well. It's wildly atmospheric, slightly creepy in parts and wonderfully eerie, as well as having a certain warmth to it. ![]() It explores the balance between science and superstition, as well as friendship and romantic love, and it does this beautifully. One of the most loved books I'd heard of from last year, I had sky high expectations for this book.Īnd it was a very good book indeed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kirkus Reviews called this book "a beautifully written, sensitive and moving interpretation of the spiritual, social and political aspirations of the American Negroes as they are expressed in the spirituals.

For the past eight years or so, I have mostly been into “literary” stuff, be it classic or contemporary. I think this is great advice for any and everyone, not just writers. ![]() You know, read outside, read beyond the narrow can (“canon”?) of what you particularly like. If you aspire to be a literary writer…read Harlequins. If you want to write romance, great, but also read science fiction, read classics. ![]() His answer: “Read beyond what you want to write. “What advice would you give to an aspiring writer?” some five years ago the Canadian author Yann Martel – author of the Booker-winning novel Life of Pi (2001) – was asked in a Big Think video. ![]() |
