Death to Select News Channels
Cross-posted on Churumuri.com, my third contribution to that site. Saturday, July 21, saw the entire world being engulfed by ?Pottermania? for the very last time, with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Our country was not spared of this phenomenon either, with people lining up in the wee hours of the weekend morning in front [...]

Imagine being able to watch the Sunrise at Mt.Fuji, then watching the sun break over the horizon at the Great Wall, then [...]
Harry Potter Overload?
Definitely not. I am really looking forward to the book release of the Deathly Hallows on 21st July - in eager anticipation, while at the same time, also looking forward to the movie release of the Order of the Phoenix next week. Pottermania unleashed again!
