					<description><![CDATA[This is one of my favourite t-shirts. It is based on Herman Melville’s &#8220;Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street&#8221;. Set in the 1800s, it&#8217;s Bartleby&#8217;s response to the world, and has a tragic ending. I have to admit, I bought it intuitively because of a mindset, before I went around figuring out the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Timothy W. Ryback Timothy Ryback&#8217;s&#160;Takeover is an absolute thriller, even though the outcome is known history, and it doesn&#8217;t let go until the nail-biting finale because even five minutes before&#160;President Paul von Hindenburg was scheduled to acknowledge Hitler as the Chancellor of Germany, the coalition partners were still in disagreement. It is fascinating to realise [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve now made around three trips to Toit Mahadevapura, which we fondly call &#8216;our rural Toit&#8217;. The only problem we have encountered is Google/Uber maps showing a route through the tech park when coming from the Whitefield/ Varthur Road direction. The security guys won&#8217;t let you in, so do use the ORR entrance. Despite that, [&#8230;]]]></description>
