Me thinks

This book coming from Random House was a tad disappointing more so because of the author’s bio. It somehow left me in a bad taste. I always love reading about the author for somewhere I aspire to be one and it always reminds me of what goes behind a book. But the wordings there were not inspiring enough to say the least.

The author has attempted a very different genre not much present in Indian literature and to quite an extent has done a decent job. An attempt to mix fiction with nonfiction and bring out the deeper meaning of life is very well articulated throughout the book the book by the author. And for a first timer her efforts need to be applauded for writing something so unique and refreshingly different.

A decent and light read for people who enjoy this kind of genre specially coming from an Indian author who understands the Indian mentality very well.

Foodie Verdict

This book is like meethi mirchi pickle - tangy and spicy!

His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
