Indian Authors Rocking - After Chetan its Ravi now

I am falling for the Indian authors. After Chetan Bhagat, I decided to try Ravi Subramanian's If God Was A Banker, and I have to admit, I loved the book. It's an insider’s fictionalised account of how Indian professionals experience the world of foreign banks, the story spans three continents. Everything was right about the book that lived to my expectation (or even surpassed). Its an excellent read and the story and the print will let you finish the book in a day. I might consider Ravi's other books too :)

5 Point Someone is equally good but...

I finally finished Chetan Bhagat's first book recently and absolutely loved it. So that's the story for now. I started with his recent book and read his publications backwards and finished his first book. Honestly, I loved all of them and for me it is a big thing, because I am a little wary about Indian authors. What I am worried though is if his next book, whenever he plans to write one will be as good as his earlier ones. After reading all the three books, I thought likability was receding with book on book. Will I read his next book? I might give him a chance or might just wait until someone says it is a rocking book :)

One Night @ Call Center

I am kinda liking this guy. After reading his recent book 'The three mistakes of my life,' I wanted to try his previous books and 'one night @ the call center' lived up to my expectations totally. Simple and easy to relate narration makes this novel real fun. What I loved the most about Chetan is expressing the emotions in a language that an Indian can relate while ensuring that the essence is not lost. I moved on to his first book that got him all the acclaim 'five point someone.' Will post my review soon.

3 mistakes of my life

Like I said earlier, I do not pick Indian authors immediately, but am bummed for not picking Chetan Bhagat's books. I heard a lot about five point someone when the book created a roar and then that his second book one night @ call center is being crafted in to a Bollywood movie. However, I never got a taste of his prose until I picked his third book - 3 mistakes of my life, which I must admit made me go an pick his earlier books too. Simple and entertaining are the words that I would use to define this book. Is it a must read, well not exactly, but if you want to be refreshed from the constant foreign lingo pushed on to us by other autors, this is a good read. That said, I am alredy on to his second one :)

Sex discrimination on Women

A truly inspirational book that enlightens everyone on how women in Pakistan are treated. The book did a lot in exposing the male dominated culture of Pakistan and how much needs to be done before it can call itself a truly democratic country. Mukhtar Mai is just one such revelation that makes one wince in pain being inflicted on women in Pakistan. While the male domination continues in all parts of the world, Mukhtar Mai gives the courage and strength to every woman in the world to stand up against violence and punishment for no fault of thyself. A definite must read by every women in any walk of life.

Fatherhood by Bill Cosby

What can I say about this one? It is just hilarious and for once getting ready for fatherhood seemed easy. No clear solutions here, but the humorous outlook that it has makes you beam with joy. Tomorrow when my baby lives the character out of this book, I know how I should react.
