Was a total let down.
When my sister-in-law said, ‘An hour is enough for the planetarium visit. There is the movie show and nothing else’, I couldn’t quite understand where this was coming from. I had images of CDM in my mind and was thinking that I could easily spend a day in the planetarium and [...]]]></description>

That is Anna Centenary Library for the non-Tamil.

(Pic source: Wikipedia)
I wasn’t going to leave Chennai without visiting this library. So on a rainy day, I booked a cab and landed in Koturpuram with the children in tow. Totally sigh worthy place. Beautifully conceptualized and constructed and can give any US library a tough competition. Note [...]]]></description>

The Firework-Maker&#8217;s Daughter is the first Pullman book we read at home. As endearing as we found this book to be, I am fully aware that Pullman&#8217;s writing can be dark. So I always check out the reviews. While doing so, I stumbled across Publisher&#8217;s Weekly&#8217;s editorial review of Pullman&#8217;s The White Mercedes at Amazon.
