Some one said, "Rock music is less than 50 years old; Christianity is almost 2,000."
And yet the two have been so closely connected since the beginning of the age of rock.
And often times, they co-exist with mutual misunderstanding and co-destructive results. The desire for salvation is, if not less, but as old as sin. Steve Turner’s Hungry for Heaven is an attempt to understand the link between faith and rock taking into account the age old human longing for salvation.

A nineteen-yr-old Harvard sophomore, a witty 'compilation' of words, great reviews, allegations of plagiarism and then a lot of hype! Now that is how Kavya Viswanathan got noticed, got famous and got grime.
Don't know what the current status is but the last I heard of it I think the book (How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life) was called off the shelves. I anyway managed to have a copy of it at home. So happens that the title did just what it was meant to... catch the eye (that too way before the plagiarism did). And it lands itself in my house.

1. Time Trial
Before the meeting, hide Rs. 10 in the room and design or write about 20 treasure maps. Some of these maps should be false, some should be very complicated, and three or four should be correct and relatively easy to understand. The maps could be a sketch, a list of clues, a series of steps to take, a poem, etc. In addition, prepare a set of time cards- a deck of cards with an amount of time (ranging from 30 seconds to 3 minutes) taped to each card. Most of the times should fall in the 60- 90 second range.
