Luminous Infinitus

"What kind of madman would be recreating the gruesome deaths depicted in Alighieri's Inferno ?" As a group of eminent literary men including HW Longfellow are in the process of translating Dante's "Divine Comedy" into English , putting their heart and soul into getting the first American translation into print , a serial killer kills people - people who have sinned in someway - punishing them in the exact manner as given in the Inferno and this he does as the "Dante club" translates. So when they translate the part of the punishment a person who creates divisions in society gets - contrapasso , they find a person killed in exactly the same manner. It is as though a ghost is watching them translate and wants them to stop ! they find him in the end .. the story as such is good but i bet da vinci code was better . inspite of its bad ending and heretic stuff , davinci code was a real page turner this was .. yeah .. good .. one gets to learn a lot. but ...

one month . what did i read ? nothing ? only project documents :( gosh !!! but i guess i did squeeze in a novel there . "The Dante Club" - Mathew Pearl I've been wanting to read "The Divine Comedy" from a long time . Never felt mature enough to read it . Never could invest that much of time to read and research. Well , I'll swim into Milton's waters before Dante's. But this book has assured me that wanting to read Dante was good all along . it is a masterpiece. it is a must read. But since Virgil is the person who helps Dante through hell , strengthening him whenever he is weak , I guess I must also read Virgil . Aenied of Virgil. oh ! man , I sometimes set the bar too high and achieve nothing - expect for dreams ; the fact is that manytimes i feel much happier in getting something in my dream than actually getting it.

(for those who dont know this most famous short cut key , F5 = refresh) Refresh! Yes. Just when I thought I didn’t have an audience to reach out to , just when I thought that the only person missing my blog is myself , i get friends asking me why I haven’t been blogging. Today when one of my closest pals asked me, that was it - i told myself , Robin boy , roll up your sleeves. I have a lot to write about. The sad thing is I have already written about them , in my diary - actually putting pen on paper – about..err… my trip to fort Williams beach lighthouse, how I found out about the closest orthodox church here , my first visit to Boston St.Mary’s , church picnic to Hopkinton’s state park , visit to New York to see relatives , old orchard beach outing … oh ! can't copy all that :( well ! as someone said , retelling your story can only add beauty to it. Probably I might .. lemme see . but let things happen slowly . slowly slowly , ahista ahista
