How come we play war and not peace ?

Some things never fail to bring us joy. A hot cup of coffee, a long drive on a rainy day, a quick nap, hi-fi s with your friends, weekends, displays of affection, love, getting a surprise gift from some one and actually liking it :).....the list might be endless and strikingly different for each one of us...for me one constant in the list would be Calvin and Hobbes, never fails to bring a smile or even a laugh and manages to convey Bill Watterson's message or opinion...the theme of my blog is a Calvin and Hobbes inspiration..the best comic strip..

Click on the images to read better.

I couldnt find the cartoon for this one but here are the lines..one of the best :)

Calvin: Well. I've decided I do believe in Santa Claus, no matter how preposterous he sounds.
Hobbes: What convinced you?
Calvin: A simple risk analysis. I want presents. Lots of presents. Why risk not getting them over a matter of belief? Heck, I'll believe anything they want.
Hobbes: How cynically enterprising of you.
Calvin: It's the spirit of Christmas.

Ok my beautiful sunday is coming to an end just one more hour to go and then it will be the start of Maniac monday. I was completely idle this weekend except for cooking and eating didnt do much. Didnt even do our normal dose of badminton. I didnt even read the book i was reading through the week..coz every book i get hooked too only when the real story starts..and esp after reading one of Jeffrey Archers creations or P.G Wodehouse,it is a bit of a turn off reading a Dan brown or John grisham the class and standard is denitely missing in the latter two. But J.K Rowling rocks my world of literary exploration. She amazes me. Using quite a banal element like magic she has given it a whole new dimension. She has created a world in itself and a host of new vocabularies which to my knowledege didnt exist before i read Harry Potter. Some interesting words like muggles, Hippogriffs, snitch, seeker (all Quidditch terms which might not entirely be out of her mind),Horcruxes,Azkabaan, Dementors many many more words.. and the she has sustained the interest in all the seven books..and order of the phoenix and goblet of fire are quite huge. Though the story is about kids i am not sure if its just for kids.. but there is something in it for everybody to relate to and enjoy. I ve enjoyed the series immensely. my favorite to date is Prisoner of Azkabaan.
