Unicorn

Noun: unicorn 'yooni'korn An imaginary creature represented as a white horse with a long horn growing from its forehead. Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hoofs, which distinguish him from a horse. Interestingly, these modifications make the horned ungulate more realistic, since only cloven-hoofed animals have horns.

"The inscrutable Americans"

How this Anurag Mathur got this idea about writing this wonderful book called "The Inscrutable Americans" I am not knowing! The book is humorous in its own way. America - the land of dreams for many. Hollywood star Arnold also once telling me that America is also a land of opportunity. The opportunity to "score". But sadly some how the protagonist of the story "Gopal" always is seeming to have a problem with girls in America. Every time he is trying to make it, one problem or other coming. Even the Gods are seeming to be against it! He is always remembering his "Respected" parents and his "God-praise singing" grand mother always. But he studies well. His observations of Americans and their habits and calling those habits as conspiracies against foreigners is very very hilarious! The Inscrutable Americans is a take on the Americans and their habits and also Indians and their habits also. Gopal was very much surprised to see many contraptions in America as the Americans are surprised that India is no longer poor. This fellow goes from a small town in central India to America to study. Before going he is trying to know all about America from Playboy and Penthouse letters. But sad to fins that it is not at all true. Poor Gopal. I was very much relieved when Gopal lost his cherry high up in the air traveling in a plane 30000 feet above the air. If you are having free time and not knowing what to do this weekend you can read this book. If by now any of you who are feeling about what is happening to my English grammar and language it is all because of "Gopal".
