Saturday, 10th May 2008 will go down in the annals of history as freedom day. Probably! Sir Teabing was responding to Sophie's query:
Meaning that history is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books - books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, "What is history, but a fable agreed upon?"
It remains to be seen who will be the winner and loser; or will history just repeat itself?

U burning your history text books?
what is this post actually about? surely there is a touch of Aam hangover.
Is it about a struggle to get into MBA?or is it entirely hatke?
Ahem.. okay.. I don’t understand the context HERE.. But Da Vinci Code.. My fev book and the conversation bet Sophie, Teabing and Robert is very very realistic. In lots of contexts related to the real life.
