Korek! – A Beginner’s Guide to Mauritian Creole by Paul Choy

Korek! – A Beginner’s Guide to Mauritian Creole by Paul Choy

The author moved to Mauritius from UK and created this book. His explanation of understanding the language is perfect and would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn creole or at least get their feet wet. In my personal experience I’ve noticed an inversion of French grammar, shortening of French words and spelling. For example if il is he in French, in Creole it’s li or the is put after the subject/object. Tifi-la means the girl. So broken…

Raucous stories and outlaw wisdom from the Academy Award-winning actorNote: I usually like MM’s rants of bumper sticker wisdom and homilies of life so it’s a good thing that he does them only in the first and last few short chapters. The book is filled with notes to self, life lessons and green lights. We cannot truly appreciate the light without shadows Summary:His parents were the type to fight till blood comes out and then suddenly make love. His dad…

The Book of Secrets (112 Meditations to Discover the Mystery Within) – Osho

The Book of Secrets (112 Meditations to Discover the Mystery Within) – Osho

Comments 0 Comment

The original text is called Vigyana Bhairava Tantra where Shiva (Bhairava) shares 112 meditation techniques with his consort Shakti (Bhairavi). The 112 meditations of the world are broken down from as many angles as Osho can expound on. The knowledge Osho share is profound even if you don’t do the meditations. I believe I started the book in 2012 and tried each one for 1 – 3 weeks and if they felt like a good fit I kept it in…
