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 !
I miss Count Rostov, Hotel Metropol, Nina, Sofia, Anna, Marina, Mishka, Emile, Andrey, IdleHour, the Boyarsky…. I miss reading this book. I want to know what happened to Sofia and to Count Rostov after the last page in the novel. I never thought I would come across a book that I felt should never end. … Read more
This is the 3rd book of Ravi Subramanian’s that I have read in quick succession. Have downloaded other books now so there will be a gap before I review another book of his. This book is again a good one to use for a classroom discussion on office politics, incentive programs and overbearing personalities as … Read more
As I mentioned in my review of Ravi Subramanian’s first book, I like his style of writing and I had already started reading this book as soon as I completed reading “The Bankster”. This book came out in 2007 and traces the careers of two IIM graduates Sundeep and Swami, from the time they join … Read more

I completed reading this book nearly ten days back and still think of it a few times … its a work of fiction that is gripping, a psycho thriller with a psychiatrist as the main character.

I read them out of sequence … I read her latest book “The Suspect” first and her first book “The Widow” second and her second book “The Child” as the third one :). This book too goes through interesting … Read more
This is the second book by Fiona Barton that I am reading …. the first one blew me away and set the bar really high. This one is equally gripping and fast paced, but I felt let down by the ending. I expected a twist in the tale but it didn’t come and I could … Read more
When I read the first Robert Galbraith novel “The Cuckoo’s calling” I was instantly drawn into the characters of Cormoran Strike and Robin. First it was a “striking” name (pun intended), really, Cormoran Strike? Is that a name ? Then as you get drawn into the plot and the mental picture of this man, you … Read more
Readers Beware : Please don’t start reading this book if you have important work to do or meetings to attend or anything with a deadline. Start it on a day or night that you can spare fully to complete reading it. Its un-put-downable ! Now that I have given you a fair warning, I can … Read more
