I am enjoying s different perspective on India of the Moguls. “Tiger Claws” by John Speed is a novel set during the last years of Shah Jahan – the builder of the Taj Mahal – that magnificent monument to love. It is not so much about Shah Jahan as it is about about the struggle [...]

Neglect is the story of my life with my blogs – too busy writing for my websites.
