 "Elementary, my dear                                      Watson" 

One of the first times this dialogue, as it is, appeared, was in P.G. Wodehouse’s book, Psmith, Journalist, and it has since been commonly used in many movies.b

Origin of this dialogue

1) "No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.” 2) “What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is what can you make people believe you have done.” 3)“My horror at his crimes was lost in my admiration at his skill.” 4) “Come at once if convenient—if inconvenient come all the same." 5) “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” 6) “The game is afoot.”

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win. To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.Some may say that this is not practical in any sense.. But may I remind you that this is the best way to conquer anything. It does not mean that I am supportive of warfare . Here are some real life examples :<ul><li>Well the same principle is used in the martial art called Aikido in which the main goal is to subdue your opponent without causing least or any injury to opponent using locks ,takedowns etc.</li><li>Often conflicts occur between countries due to their difference in opinion in some matters . The best way to not kindle the conflict and reduce it is to find common ground and work together to find a solution that is satisfactory to both sides.</li></ul>

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without  fighting.

This is the world's first complete English translation of "The Art of War" and the most accurate English translation in the world. In 1772, "The Art of War" was translated into French by missionaries, and a book of military theory that had influenced China for more than two thousand years was officially introduced into the Western world. In 1910, Lionel Giles translated the first English version of "The Art of War". Until today, there are as many as twenty or thirty English translation versions. Among them, the one that best conveys the original meaning of "The Art of War" belongs to the version translated by Samuel B. Griffith in 1963. However, even with this version, the true meaning of the "The Art of War" that it can convey is actually only about 50%.

A reality that is true

The beloved debut novel about an affluent Indian family forever changed by one fateful day in 1969, from the author of The Ministry of Utmost Happiness NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MAN BOOKER PRIZE WINNER Compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens, Arundhati Roy’s modern classic is equal parts powerful family saga, forbidden love story, and piercing political drama. The seven-year-old twins Estha and Rahel see their world shaken irrevocably by the arrival of their beautiful young cousin, Sophie. It is an event that will lead to an illicit liaison and tragedies accidental and intentional, exposing “big things [that] lurk unsaid” in a country drifting dangerously toward unrest. Lush, lyrical, and unnerving, The God of Small Things is an award-winning landmark that started for its author an esteemed career of fiction and political commentary that continues unabated.

"They all crossed into forbidden territory. They all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved and how. And how much." The year is 1969. In the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India, a skyblue Plymouth with chrome tailfins is stranded on the highway amid a Marxist workers' demonstration. Inside the car sit two-egg twins Rahel and Esthappen, and so begins their tale. . . . Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, they fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family--their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts). When their English cousin, Sophie Mol, and her mother, Margaret Kochamma, arrive on a Christmas visit, Esthappen and Rahel learn that Things Can Change in a Day. That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever, beside their river "graygreen." With fish in it. With the sky and trees in it. And at night, the broken yellow moon in it. The brilliantly plotted story uncoils with an agonizing sense of foreboding and inevitability. Yet nothing prepares you for what lies at the heart of it. The God of Small Things takes on the Big Themes--Love. Madness. Hope. Infinite Joy. Here is a writer who dares to break the rules. To dislocate received rhythms and create the language she requires, a language that is at once classical andunprecedented. Arundhati Roy has given us a book that is anchored to anguish, but fueled by wit and magic.
