Art thriller studies the obsession to possess a soul
The Doll Factory is a thriller set against the backdrop of Victorian England, specifically London in Preparations are in full swing for a wildly ambitious international exhibition at Hyde Park, organised by Prince Albert (husband of Queen Victoria) and Sir Henry Cole (civil servant and inventor). A grand temporary structure called the Crystal Palace is being built for the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations.
The public frequently stops to stare and wonder, artists gaze and dream about their works being displayed there. One of them is Silas Reed, taxidermist and owner of the Shop of Curiosities Antique and New. Silas's skills as a taxidermist go back to his childhood days of drudgery at a factory, where he earned a little on
the side by selling tiny stuffed dead animals to his factory owner for his wife’s display cabinet. Victorian ladies had ghoulish tastes, to say the least-but they are not Silas’s only clients when he moves to London as an adult: artists demand his creations too, for how can you make an animal or bird sit still?
It is at the site of the Crystal Palace that Silas’s deep insecurity and yearning for artistic recognition takes a backseat to a new obsession: he cat

Modi Ji and his merry band of ministers: We laugh at them when we should be crying for help!
Our Home Minister has weird delusions that the country is teeming with termites and other insects, and sometimes the poor chap feels them crawling all over his body. Either he should buy himself a good quality lice comb, or stop consuming fun stuff meant for kanwariyas.
When he’s not scratching himself with his RSS lathi, he’s sending love letters to judges in sealed envelopes with messages like, “See you at your morning walk tomorrow, sweetheart.”
As for the Finance Minister, why, even Class 1 back-benchers would never ask her to help them with their maths homework. It’s not remotely surprising that Kaka has locked up a former finance minister from a rival party who did a far better job than any of the people he handpicked for the job.
