For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
A clay wall panel from a resort I visited in April 2011. Click to enlarge and see the fine detailing. I love this!
Addendum: These are handmade, dried in the sun, baked in a kiln and then painted, if so desired. Each small square depicts something from the normal daily life. A few might deviate to give it an unique character. Rather very common in Rural India. They prefer to decorate their walls like this. And I find that so do I!

That is fine detailing! I wonder if it tells a story.
wow, I really want to know more about this. Very neat!
I'm curious to know more about this.
Beautiful! I showed it to my kids (they are always sitting on my lap this time of the morning) and they came up with some very interesting stories about the pictures.
Beautiful! I especially like the picture with the baby in the cradle hanging from the tree branch.
Lovely - such fine details.
That is really quite lovely. Before I read your post I had assumed it was Middle Eastern, not Indian. Did you have a nice vacation at that resort?
Wow, that is really interesting. At first I thought it told a story, but it seems more like scenes from a life or something. Thanks for sharing it!
Fabulous detail, especially when you think about the process of creating this wall. Thanks for sharing.
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT
Pictures in clay seem so amazing. It's a hard substance to turn into art.
Those details are great! I've never seen anything like this for decoration before.
Hi!

I thought you were going to say they were very old. Interesting that these are contemporary.
