Society seems to always be in love with mysteries,  love stories, good and evil. It also helps to have hot new actors and actresses. The wear wolf has been around for centuries in movies and legends. Plus the technologies available to day make it all seem so real. The entertainment companies are always trying to come with the next big box office hit. Well the Twilight Saga has caught a lot of critics off guard. It and the cast have become stars overnight. Everyone loves a story about good and evil, and throw in romance that makes all little girls falling love with their new found movie star.

My wife always gets on the Internet to see what the critics give movies before she plans to go watch it, but us guys are intrigued by the trailers that are put out, along with most people. The trailers are just enough to get your excitement about a movie and want to go see it. Kind of like the back of a novel that gives you just enough information for you to buy the book. 

Today with everything being so commercialized, companies have found a way to put products out that will compliment a movie with posters, figurines, trinkets, well you name it they can come up with it. I am sure it started way back, but I think the Star War era really kick it of with all of their products. But I remember back when my children were infants, which thy are now in 30’ I took them to see sesamestreet live, and the products they were selling were kind of cute. I remember seating there and thinking if everyone in here bought even the cheapest item, well the company would make alot just form those items. Being a parent it was hard to say no to a child when all you want them to do is remember the experience.

Because of that experience I have found a unique product that can’t be bought in stores and it is all about the experience of not forgetting the Twilight Saga of the New Moon.

India is the ‘land of festivals’. Here all festivals has its own significance behind the celebration. And Diwali, ‘the festival of lights’ is a national festival celebrated with lots of zeal and enthusiasm. Whole India participates candidly in this Festival though the way of celebrating Diwali differs statewise according to the culture and traditions of that particular state. People of all age groups participate in this festival with gaiety and fervor. Diwali is the celebration of illuminating one’s own soul with the light of hope and positive energy. Lighting earthen lamps, the main traditional ritual of Diwali, signifies the victory of good over the evil within oneself.

The history of Diwali is originated from various Hindu religious scriptures, mainly the Puranas. Like in many parts of Nepal and India, the myth behind the celebration of Diwali is the victory of Rama over Ravana and then the return of Rama in Ayodhya with Lakshman and Sita after their 14 year exile in forest. Legend says, the people of Ayodhya greeted Rama by lighting rows of lamps. Thus it was named as Deepavali, deep (lamp) avali (rows).

Tracing back to the history of ancient India, Diwali was celebrated as the main harvest festival. But later it is being celebrated following the Hindu treatise. As per the Hindu almanac or Panjika, Diwali is celebrated on Amavasya, the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin, i.e. October or November every year. But the main Diwali festival is a five day long ritual commences with Dhanwantari Triodasi or Dhan Theras. Second day of Diwali is referred as Aswayuja Bahula Chaturdasi or Naraka Chaturdasi. Third day is Amavasya or the main Diwali. Worship of Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, is performed as according to the Hindu mythology Lakshmi was incarnated on this day, the new moon day of the Kartik month. Fourth day is known as Kartika Shudda Padyami or Bali Padyami. It is believed that Bali would come out on this day from Pathala Loka to rule Bhuloka as such a boon was given by Lord Vishnu. The fifth or last day of Diwali is known as Yama Dvitiya or Bhai Dooj or Bhratri Dooj. This day is marked for the celebration of sister-brother relationship. On this day brothers are invited to their sister’s home. Sisters put tilak on their brothers’ forehead and pray for a long life for their dear brothers. In return, brothers adore their loving sisters with gifts.

These five days of Diwali hold five different significant myths or stories with them. Like, first day or Naraka Chaturdashi is the 14th lunar day or ‘thithi’ of the dark forthnight of the month of Kartik. It tells a story of Narkasur and Lord Krishna. Krishna, the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, killed the demon Narakasura with the help of Satyabhama, wife of Krishna. Narakasura was creating havoc among the people of the three worlds. He was powered by a boon that only his mother could kill him. So Krishna reincarnated his wife Satyabhama as mother of Narakasura and made her the charioteer of Krishna. Ultimately in a fight between krishna and Narakasura, the evil Demon was killed by her mother and peace was restored on the earth. This story carries a significant moral lesson that a mother can also kill her evil son.

Thousands of myths, legends, stories, traditions, rituals but nationwide celebration. Diwali is in true sense the festival of unity in diversity. It brings people together in spite of religious, cultural, social or geographical barriers. The way of celebrating Diwali has been changed over the period of time. Now Diwali is associated with exchange of gifts and cards. And not only in India, now Diwali is also celebrated all over the world. People residing outside India find this festival a special occasion to get connected with their homeland, their family and friends, if not physically but emotionally.

Recording memories in mediums that can be seen and felt has always been the wish of mankind ever since the ancient times. The practice of noting down information on paper goes quite a long way back in fact, beyond the era of the Egyptians.

The great Pharaohs loved spending their time by reading books and so did the kings and emperors of Greece and Rome. The world today is one that sees an influx of many things along with a decrease in the number of human beings who love to read books.

However, things are looking up with the number of readers having seen an increase in the current years. The reasons for this lie in the form of the books that were released in the year 2007, 2008. Moreover, the books that have been released in 2009 are also capable of becoming worthy reasons to account for the increase in the number.

Some of the books that have made the headlines are as follows:

1.    Coraline
2.    The Friday Night knitting club
3.    Breaking Dawn (the fifth one the Twilight series)
4.    New Moon (the fourth one in the Twilight series)

Coraline is quite a wonderful book and it has been written by the well known author Neil Gaiman. This story of this book revolves the central character called Coraline who lives in a very big house which is also inhabited by many other amusing characters. The element of boredom is the central part of the life of this girl who in order to escape the boredom start to count the number of things that have their colour as Blue.

She, therefore, arrives at a door (which is the 14th door that she locates in the course of her counting). The readers of this book might think that the next page would lead on to another stereotypical fairy tale story with the plot resembling somewhat that of ‘the Chronicles of Narnia’ or even ‘Alice in Wonderland’ for that matter.

But this is where the story takes an unexpected twist and one that is liable to take anyone who reads this book by surprise. Though a world exists beyond this door but it is one which is dark, terrifying and houses nothing but nightmarish things of life.

This book is anyway quite an interesting one to read and one should read it at least once in order to grasp the magnificence of the plot.

Another wonderful book which can be given as an example is the second one in the list mentioned earlier and this book is known as the Friday night Knitting club.

The plot of this book is all about friendship with the medium initiating the act of friendship being none other than knitting. The story can be associated with any real life situation and this fact makes this book all the more interesting to anyone who reads it.

These two examples are quite capable of giving an insight about the potential of all those books which are becoming highly popular books this year. In other words, the popular books of 2009 are certainly ones that are capable of making anyone happy and content.
