This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
Some I love, some I dont, but read I must !
I found out about this book by Ken Puddicombe on Rosaliene Bacchus’ blog – Three Worlds One Vision. Read her fantastic review of this book – Down Independence Boulevard and Other Stories by Ken Puddicombe. I wanted to read this book since its based in Guyana and the steady diet of American/British based novels was getting … Read more
Alert – Long Post. My dear friend Neeraj has always suggested some amazing books, right from the time we were in school together and this book is probably one of the best that he has recommended to me ever. It took me a while to read it because I have marked so many passages to … Read more
Kabir gave me this book after reading it. I completed reading it in Dec last year but didn’t get around to posting a review. This is also a book that I haven’t read on a Kindle :). Ages since I did that. The challenge I have of not reading a book on Kindle is I … Read more
I have liked almost every book that I have read of John Grisham’s except his first one “A Time to Kill” and now “Gray Mountain” is the other one I don’t like. The story is insipid and you just get a lot of knowledge about the “black lung” disease that coal miners end up dying … Read more

I started to read this masterpiece by Gabriel Garcia Marquez a couple of years back and never went past the first 20 pages for some strange reason. I picked it up again at Laos and this time completed reading it. I underlined so many things that my notes alone would probably run into several pages … Read more
This was the other book that I had bought just before our trip to Laos. The author, Anthony Doerr won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for this book and after reading it, its well deserved. The story is set during the World War II and its about Marie Laure, a French girl who has been blind … Read more
I bought Lee Child’s “One Shot” purely by chance. We were about to leave for our month long vacation to Laos and I wanted to buy a few fiction books to read. Well, “One Shot” was all that I needed to get hooked onto Jack Reacher. I wonder how I missed the entire series till … Read more
Like many of you, I have seen the movie based on this book and the movie fascinated me enough to read the book. I am so glad that I read this book because it’s detailed, written with a lot of love and gives an invaluable glimpse into Tibet’s culture and traditions. Once you read this … Read more
