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 !
Finally I have read the 5th book in the Jack McClure series. I completed this one almost two weeks back but didn’t get down to writing a review. This book is the first one where Alli doesn’t make an appearance and the last connection to her late father, president Edward Carson, the Secretary of Homeland … Read more
Its difficult to get away from these Jack McClure book series of Eric Van Lustbader ! There are five books in all and I still have one more to go. Book No. 3 – Blood Trust This one is a little far fetched in that no government to my mind will send three people (however … Read more
I read every book of Frederick Forsyth’s till the “Fist of God” and then for some strange reason, I never read any other book of his. Ofcourse “The Day of the Jackal” remains an all time favourite and after reading this latest book “The Fox” – it continues to be the favourite :). I read … 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

For the past couple of months I have been re-reading Jeffrey Archer’s books – I have been a fan ever since I read “Prodigal daughter” long long back. I stopped reading his books after “Thereby hangs a tale”. Somewhere between “Honour among thieves” and “Thereby hangs a tale” I feel he has either lost that … Read more
I bought “The Cuckoo’s calling” by Robert Galbraith much before I knew it was J.K. Rowling writing under that pseudonym. I never managed to read it for quite some time but the minute I figured out it was written by J.K. Rowling, I read it :):). I am a fan of her writing and so … Read more
I just completed reading “A tale for the time being” written by Ruth Ozeki. While the style of writing in first person as she experienced it all, is not very novel, the connection to the Tsunami and other recent events and the constant back and forth between the old and new, is very fascinating. I … Read more
