Arthur Conon Doyle,Agatha Christie and Ian Flemings are the masters of detective and spy fiction and remain unsurpassed till date.Anyone who has bothered to read their writings carefully can himself become a master of crime investigation.
Sherlock Holmes has turned detective profession into an art and science put together.His minute study of botany,anatomy,geology,chemistry,forensic science,fine arts,languages and architecture enable him to crack any mystery easily.The secret of fantastic deductive powers are thoroughness,precision,patience,courage and a sense of de'ja vu!He is also a boxer and a fencing expert.
Doyle's writings delve into the occult and the supernatural and describe the unending battle between the powers of light and darkness.In his writings Sherlock Holmes represents the seeker of the truth and Prof.Moriarty who is his nemesis is shown to be the face of evil.
The Hound of Baskerville,A study in scarlet,The sign of the four and The valley of fear are perhaps the best novels of detective fiction.

living harmoniously

All problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.Sri Aurobindo
Harmony means living at peace and without any ill will.In reality the poorest peasant could be more wise than the most brilliant scientist or philosopher.Harmonious living is as much an art as any other and requires tremendous devotion and dedication. Every emotion,impulse,feeling and thought has to be purified and made sublime. One has to be extremely cautious and alert every moment.
By surrounding oneself with positive feelings and vibrations it is possible to influence events in a more effective way than by straining oneself round the clock. Music,theatre,libraries,

art galleries,sports and good cuisine can create a very harmonious and peaceful environment.Being surrounded by trees,birds,animals and water bodies can also create tremendous goodwill and happiness in the atmosphere.Speaking less and softly is extremely effective in reducing tensions and discord.The laughter of children everywhere is a great source of delight and joy.To live in the present and not to bother about the past or the future gives one a sense of comfort and security.By caring for one another it is possible to reduce much of the prevailing strife and unease in the world.
