This book about about the 14th century Muslim conquer up till now has been an enchanting read. Although i have only been through half of the book but i still would like to share about the great conquests of this ruthless and mighty king who was called as the lord of “fortunate conjunctions” by his followers. Born to a humble background in Shakhrisabz,near Samarkand, this mighty monarch ruled almost half of the then know world.Traveled thousands of miles and killing millions of people , razed countless cities to grounds ,through the dust of times the ghost of Tamerlane still lives on . One interesting fact about Tamerlane is that,his great-great-great grandson started the Moughl dynasty in the subcontinent which ruled it for nearly 300 plus years.contd………….

why i am choosing now to write ,why i haven’t i did this before ,the simple answer is ,i am sick and tired of bottling up sttuf,now i want to lent it out and say what ever i want to say , with out even thinking for a single moment what kind of reactions it will bring .And above all who would even bother to read the rantings of a jobless computer engineer.
