Greater Noida
Greater Noida (GN) (, , pronunciation: Baṛa Nōēḍā) is in the Gautam Budh Nagar district of the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP). It is under the control of the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. It is about south-east of New Delhi and about south-east of Noida, one of the largest industrial townships in Asia.
The development of Greater Noida is managed by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA). Greater Noida is a fast growing region.
In the early 1980s, Delhi was growing at a rapid rate. The Government of India planned to develop two new areas around the capital. These residential and industrial areas would reduce the burden on the capital. The two areas were Gurgaon and Noida. Noida's infrastructure and utilities was carefully designed. With the large growth of the Indian economy in the 1990s, Noida became overcrowded.
The government of Uttar Pradesh decided to incorporate the city of Greater Noida. This would be an extension to Noida. The planning of Greater Noida would be improved from what was learned in Noida. Greater Noida is a planned township. Roads are wide with service lanes for every major road. All cabling and utilities are run underground.
The Buddh International Circuit is currently under construction. It is scheduled to open in 2011. It will host the Indian Grand Prix, a new race to the Formula One schedule. This will be the first F1 race in India.

War novel
A war novel is a novel that takes place during some form of fighting. In these books, the primary action happens during armed combat. Other war novels take place on the home front. The characters may be busy getting ready for or recovering from war. It is sometimes called military fiction.
There have been war novels and other stories about war for many thousands of years. In Ancient Greece and Rome and the Middle Ages, people wrote epic poems about the glory of war. Some of the most famous epic poems are "The Iliad" by Homer, "The Aeneid" by Virgil, the Old English saga "Beowulf", and the legends of King Arthur.
Another important influence of war novels are tragedies (plays about human suffering.) Euripides, Seneca the Younger, Christopher Marlowe, and William Shakespeare wrote plays that are important influences on war novels. Shakespeare's play "Henry V" has many features of a war novel. It has history and military tactics, and it talks about the ethics of war.
The genres of romance and satire are also important. These works, especially in Early Modern Europe, show military heroism and folly (foolishness). Some important examples are "The Faerie Queen" by Edmund Spenser and "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes.
The themes and symbols found in modern war novels are also influenced by older works. In "The Inferno", Dante described Hell in a way that is very close to how war is described in war novels. Other influences are John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and the Apocalypse in the "Book of Revelation" in the Bible.
The first war novels were from the 1600s. At that time fiction novels written in prose (instead of poetry) were becoming popular. These early war novels were usually satires and picaresque novels. The soldier was usually a rogue and not very realistic. One example is "Simplicissimus" by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen. "Simplicissimus" is a semi-autobiographical novel (based on the author's life) about the Thirty Years' War.
Influential war novels from this time include Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace", about the Napoleonic Wars in Russia, and Stephen Crane's "The Red Badge of Courage", about the American Civil War.
War novels from this time included the experiences of trench warfare, but also began to tell the stories of what happened at home during the war. Many novels were written about the war. Writers were from countries on all sides of the conflict.
One of the first and most influential of these was the 1916 novel "Le Feu" (or "Under Fire") by the French novelist and soldier Henri Barbusse.
The 1920s saw the so-called "war book boom," during which many men who had fought during the war were finally ready to write openly and critically about their war experiences. In 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front" was a massive, worldwide bestseller. Also significant were Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" (1929), Richard Aldington's "Death of a Hero" (1929), Arnold Zweig's "The Case of Sergeant Grischa" (1927), Charles Yale Harrison's "Generals Die in Bed" (1930) and William March's "Company K" (1933).
