I surf the internet a lot. I have a passion for reading and internet is a wonderful resource which keeps my thirst satiated. I have been e-mailing the articles and news, I find interesting, to my friends and they all seem very happy reading them (taking in to account, of course, the differences in tastes of different people). The positive responses, I have received, gave me the idea that I could share these articles and news items with the visitors to my site. This page is the result of this idea.
The articles on this page (or rather the links to them) are mostly about "alternatives". There are almost always two versions of the same event or thought. One is the normally accepted (or should I say official?) version and the other is an alternative one. I am always fascinated by the alternatives, mainly because they put the thing in perspective. You get both sides of the story and then you can judge and accept one of the versions. At least, alternatives make an issue interesting. That is why I have named this page as "interesting.htm". The articles relate to supernatural, weird, alternative or forgotten versions of history and other subjects and of course, articles I find interesting even if they are not "alternatives" :-).
One of the best "alternative" I have ever read is "The book of the damned", written by Charles Fort. It has been said that you may start doubting your sanity after reading the book. In my opinion, it is a must read book and worth some thought; you may agree or disagree with his conclusions, but you will certainly come to know of many interesting facts about the world we live in - the facts which established science just chooses to ingnore (may be because it has no answers yet).
The reason I am providing only the links is the prohibitive cost of increasing bandwidth for my site. During the last two years the no. of visitors to my site has been increasing steadily and I have been upgrading my hosting packages.
If you find this page interesting enough bookmark this page (or add to the favourites list in your browser). Keep visiting this page as I will keep adding items to this page as and when I find them.
If you feel like saying something to me (sans abuse, of course, as these articles are not mine), please write to me at the email id given at the bottom of the page. Since this email id is not a hyperlink, to prevent it from getting harvested by spammers, you will have to type it out.
Disclaimer: I do not necessarily agree or disagree with these articles. I am presenting these items only because I find them "INTERESTING". To agree or disagree with any of the articles is totally up to you. However, some of these articles will surely turn out to be thought provoking.
