this, i gotta have...

the last book that i finished in 2009 was a dark and darkly comic memoir nothing to be frightened of by julian barnes and as the last minutes of 2009 ticked away i was reading william darlymple's city of djinns: a year in delhi. both incidently are about death and decay. the former a personal decay and the later a city.

it is perhaps fitting that you end a year with books about decay . this is not to say that they are all melancholy and sadness as both have comic moments. although both books' leit motif is decay they were very funny in their own ways.

an example from julian barnes:

Renard recorded in his Journal the death of Tolouse-Lautrec. The painter's father , a known eccentric , came to visit his son and instead of concerning himself with the patient immediately started trying to catch the flies circulating in the sick room. The painter, from his bed, remarked, 'You stupid old bugger', then fell back and died.

and here from william dalrymple's city of jinns.

Ibn Batutta had few expectations of India. The Hindus, he knew, at least refrained from eating pigs (unlike the Chinese or the disgusting Christians of Byzantium), but he had heard that they had other habits the very thought of which made him swoon. "The Hindus venerate oxen' he wrote, 'and it is said that they actually drink the oxen's urine when they fall sick.' Later, on witnessing a sati (the immolation of a Hindu widow) , Ibn Batutta was so shocked he nearly fell off his camel.



and in city of djinns: a year in delhi mr dalrymple mentioned a novel Twilight in Delhi by Ahmed Ali. and commented that the brilliance of this book was immediately recognized by both E.M Forster and Virginia Woolf.

again. from the city of Djinns:

Twillight in Delhi is not only a very fine novel , it is also an irreplaceable record of the vanished life and culture of pre-war Delhi.

mr dalrymple was impressed enough to go and seek the author who was still living in karachi at the time , an angry beaten old man. and i will be travelling to delhi again in february and i would certainly go and look for this book. i usually never like book recommendations by anybody but books mentioned in books that you like always pique my interest. and this i gotta have. for one thing india to me is one of the most fascinating countries in the world and there's nothing better to get my islamic extremist blood boiling than visiting all those mughal tombs and buildings in delhi and agra, still mejestic and proud looking although a mere shell of their former glory.

Both men and women can feel the pressures of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's style frequently seems a lot less difficult. Of course, for both sexes, costumes and fashion options may be just as intricate, and there are numerous'modern'items that could easily become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people walking around in 70s flares?

Select classic cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Modern developments in traditional men's style

Although common men's styles will never be changed, it's interesting to note that changes in men's fashion trends have brought particular traditional clothes back in fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specifically, has taken back a wide-variety of classic designs into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress yourself in a classic yet expensive way, operating in a polished approach and placing value on appearance. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'traditional style for men is apparent from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages clothe themselves in especially Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the roads on vintage bicycles - with lots of the men sporting flawless mustaches! This is only one of many samples of evidence showing the revival of such variations.

The company presents 1 [url=http://nhommuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]nhom mua gia re[/url] for every single functioning day in each of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance deal making use of ThePoint's technique: if a specified selection of men and women sign up for the provide, then the deal will get supplied to all if the predetermined bare minimum is not content, no a single gets the supply that working day. This lowers chance for retailers, who can manage the low cost coupons as amount discounts as effectively as profits advertising products. Groupon makes cash by trying to maintain about fifty percent the cash the consumer pays for the coupon.

For occasion, an $eighty massage could be purchased by the customer for $forty through Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer gives a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and receives approximately $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% split). Or, if $240 well really worth of house portray providers is acquired by the customer for $fifty by means of Groupon, then the company will get $25 and Groupon keeps $20 5. The consumer will get the therapeutic massage, or the residence portray assistance, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they at first paid out out $40 (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are distinct organizations to which Groupon to get started with did not offer you its solutions, like capturing ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, capturing ranges have been featured on Groupon.

Not like labeled promoting and advertising, the support service provider does not pay out any upfront cost to take part: Groupon collects personalised knowledge from ready buyers and then contacts only these customers, largely by working day-to-working day e mail, who could perhaps be intrigued in a distinct goods or service.

Groupon employs a large assortment of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains showcased by e-mail and on the web site. Groupon's marketing text for the 'deals' has been seen as a contributing issue to the recognition of the internet site, that includes a exclusive mix of complete reality-examining and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's industry being mostly composed of feminine buyers, the provides are often concentrated on the well becoming, physical health and fitness and attractiveness marketplaces.

There are likely problems with the business product. For illustration, a rewarding deal could quickly swamp a tiny company with also a number of buyers, risking a opportunity that purchasers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be adequate items to fulfill the need. Hole, a massive clothes retailer, was able to control 445,000 coupon codes in a nationwide offer (even with the reality that it expert server issues at a single distinct stage), but a scaled-down company could flip out to be out of the blue flooded with customers. One particular espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an enhance in clients for 3 months, when it offered shut to one,000 Groupons on the one certain day it was supplied, in accordance to 1 report. In response to associated troubles, Groupon officers issue that 'deal' subscriptions have to be capped in advance to a cost-effective volume.
