Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
The movie and the book was the best mystery/thriller I have ever watched and read. Now, lets start with the book. Do you like mystery? Do you like murder investigation? Then this book is the right one for you. The book has a total pages of 313 and is in a size of a quarter A4. This is very convenient when you like to read while travelling like me. The suspense is well written when it come to the book. As for the movie, the cast and the main man himself, Hercule Poirot played well on the big screen. The movie made big, on its first day grossing nearly 3 million dollars. Its one of the best movies of the year and I loved it very much.
Not to forget to mention the well renowned , Johnny Deep which makes the movie greater.

Greetings to all Hindus, readers or even temple lovers! I shack you warmly by hand ( Willy Wonka style). With my newest attempt i meet you in this mew blog of mine. Recently, my family and i traveled all around the world and ended in this small village of what I call peace. Well, you must be wondering, "hahaha Diya you are in India". NO! Its one of the most magical sittings i have ever seen and been. The temple is located in a small village far away from the buzzing city in Malaysia. ( address of temple stated below). The temple is surrounded by greenery- trees, flowers and more tress. Tress that even bare fruits! I had such a time there.
'Valmuni appa'
The main deity of the temple, as you can guess it from the name is Sri Siva Sanggara, Valmuni appa also known as 'Maruthuvar' and Vannamuni. Yes! There are three of them! Quite rare in this case as most temples in India only comprises of one main deity. The temple was established nearly 30 years old. Up to date, the temple has extended its grounds and built a Baby Shivan and Baby Ganesha. Moreover the temple celebrates Valmuni Appa with an annual festival every 1st of January( basically the new year). There is an extraodianary event, mostly every Friday- The Arul Vaaku. Its preety simple, Valmuni Appa will come in trans and give one of the best advices to our problems.
Right opposite to Valmuni appa, lives the magnificant, old yet strong Siva Sangkari Amma. She was found by the temple's owner in an abandoned state in a designnated forest. She is estimated to be 100 years old! Well, noe we talk history. Right behind her is the home of the fierce Kali Amma.
Earlier as i mentioned the two apple of the eyes, the two cute babies of the temple come next in our list of dieties - Baby Shiva & Baby Ganesha
Next in line is the most beautiful Durga Amma. She stands right opposite the glass wall's of the temple's donation counter. She also blesses everyone with great wisdon and fortune.
Have you seen the valiant Narashima commonly known here as Singamuni Appa, he is the half lion and half human avatar of Lord Vishnu. The temple is also a home to 'Shivan Mandabam' (Shiva's Hall). The newest edition to the temple is the 18 steps Ayyapan temple.
The temple also conduct 'yagum' ( holy fire) every first and last Friday of the month.

My dear friends, may I see a show of hand on who have heard or
even read about the House Of Tudor? Well, then, lend me your ears, my pals, for
I am going to tell you a story on how the Tudor dynasty began and came to an
end. The Tudor dynasty last for one hundred and eighteen years.
The Tudor dynasty began with the reign of King Henry VII, the
father of later King Henry VIII. Henry VII won the throne when his army
defeated the forces of King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the
culmination of the Wars of the Roses. Henry was the last king of England to win
his throne on the field of battle. He cemented his claim by marrying Elizabeth
of York, daughter of Edward IV and niece of Richard III. Henry was successful
in restoring the power and stability of the English monarchy after the civil
wars known as the Wars of the Roses. He founded the Tudor dynasty and, after a
reign of nearly 24 years, was peacefully succeeded by his son, Henry VIII.
Now, let’s move on to the big and strong King Henry VIII. The
young king, at the age of seventeen succeeded his father as king on the 21st of
April 1509. Henry married Catherine of Argon as to fulfil his father’s last
wishes. Soon after, Catherine conceived, but the child, a girl, was stillborn.
About four months later, Catherine again became pregnant. The couple were
pleased to have a boy but, the child died seven weeks later. Catherine had two
stillborn sons in 1514 and 1515, but finally gave birth in February 1516 to a
girl, Mary Tudor later known as Bloody Mary. The relation between Henry and
Catherine had been strained, but they eased slightly after Mary's birth.
Although a baby girl was born, Henry was still in grief that a male heir to the
throne was not born. Despite the fact that Catherine was unable to conceive,
Henry intended to divorce her and remarry Anne Boleyn in order to produce a
male heir to succeed him. Problems arose as Henry broke from the Catholic
Church of Rome and became Supreme Head of the Church of England. There rose the
rebels between the Catholics and Protestants.
Later on, Henry remarried Anne Boleyn on the year 1533. Anne
Boleyn filed to conceive as she had two miscarriages which was to be two baby
boys. Finally, Anne Boleyn gave birth to a baby girl named Elizabeth Tudor,
later to be known as Queen Elizabeth on 7th September 1533.
Tragically, Anne Boleyn was executed at 8 am on 19 May 1536, age 36, on
Tower Green at the Tower of London. After the death of Anne Boleyn, Henry
married, for the third time, Jane Seymore. On 12 October 1537, Jane gave birth
to a son, Prince Edward, the future Edward VI. The birth was difficult and the
queen died on 24 October 1537 from an infection and was buried in Windsor.
Henry, again married Anne of Cleves just to protect England from being attacked
by Roman Catholic. Henry divorced Anne after three years and the couple did not
have any issue. On 28 July 1540, Henry married the young Catherine Howard. He
was absolutely delighted with his new queen, and awarded her the lands of
Cromwell and a vast array of jewellery but Catherine was beheaded as she was
accused to be in an affair with the King’s courtier. On July 1543, Henry
married his last wife, the sixth, the wealthy widow Catherine Parr. She helped reconcile
Henry with his daughters Mary and Elizabeth.
The king enjoys sport especially, jousting. Later in life, Henry
was succumbed by many medical issue after the jousting accident in 1536. The
theory that Henry suffered from syphilis has been dismissed by most historians.
A more recent theory suggests that Henry's medical symptoms are characteristic
of untreated type 2 diabetes. Alternatively, his wives' pattern of pregnancies
and his mental deterioration have led some to suggest that the king may have
been Kell positive and suffered from McLeod syndrome. According to another
study, Henry VIII's history and body morphology may have been the result of
traumatic brain injury after his 1536 jousting accident, which in turn led to a
neuroendocrine cause of his obesity. Henry's obesity hastened his death at the
age of 55, which occurred on 28 January 1547 in the Palace of Whitehall, on
what would have been his father's 90th birthday. King Henry VIII was buried at
St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, next to Jane Seymour. Over a hundred
years later, King Charles I was buried in the same vault.
After his death, Henry's only legitimate son, Edward, inherited
the throne, becoming Edward VI. The son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, Edward
was the third monarch of the Tudor dynasty and England's first monarch raised
as a Protestant. Since Edward was then only nine years old, he could not
exercise actual power so he hired Jane Seymour's elder brother, Thomas Seymore
to be Lord Protector of the Realm. In February 1553, at age 15, Edward fell
ill. When his sickness was discovered to be terminal, he and his Council drew
up a "Devise for the Succession", attempting to prevent the country's
return to Catholicism. Edward named his first cousin once removed, Lady Jane
Grey, as his heir and excluded his half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth. Lady Jane
Grey became Queen for nine days as she was beheaded by Mary Tudor in order for
her to succeed the throne. Edward died on the 8 August 1553 and was buried in
Westminster Abbey, England.
Mary I was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until
her death. Her executions of Protestants led to the renowned named "Bloody
Mary". When Edward became mortally ill in 1553, he attempted to remove
Mary from the line of succession because of religious differences. On his death
their first cousin once removed, Lady Jane Grey, was proclaimed Queen. Mary
assembled a force in East Anglia and deposed Jane, who was ultimately beheaded.
Mary married Philip of Spain, becoming queen consort of Habsburg Spain on his
accession in 1556. As the fourth crowned monarch of the Tudor dynasty, Mary is
remembered for her restoration of Roman Catholicism. During her five-year
reign, she had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian
persecutions.
Elizabeth I was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November
1558, the day of her coronation. Sometimes called and known as the Virgin
Queen, the childless Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor
dynasty. In 1558, Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister to the throne and one of
her first actions as queen was the establishment of an English Protestant
church, of which she became the Supreme Governor. As she grew older, Elizabeth
became famous for her virginity. England's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588
associated Elizabeth with one of the greatest military victories in English
history. Elizabeth's reign is known as the Elizabethan era. The period is
famous for the flourishing of English drama, led by playwrights such as William
Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. The Queen's health remained fair until the
autumn of 1602, when a series of deaths among her friends plunged her into a
severe depression. In March, Elizabeth fell sick and she was bedridden. She
died on 24 March 1603 at Richmond Palace, between two and three in the morning.
Queen Elizabeth will always be remembered as she was one of the most famous
Tudor monarch. Her reign last for forty-five years.
My dear teacher and friends, I hope you have enjoyed my speech on
