It’s the perfect cocktail - right amount of ingredients - be it
comedy, drama, suspense, thriller, crime, biography, romance, fantasy. Few
stories figuratively intoxicate and leave you in want
of something more of it.
The book takes you on a joy ride from posh Bangalore colony to a flat
in Jaipur. Amul has the innocence of a child, Maami Menace has a
petty neighbour, who has solution to every
problem but yet she doesn't try them on her own. Stories such as It’s
All Good, The Pig In A Poke and
The Weeping Girl are based on the current topics of
recession,fraudulent mails and conning. Across The Seas and the
Raincoat have emotional quotient attached to them. Father Of My Son is my favourite, which has a father
backing his son's proposal of marriage. Hot Pants increases your
interest exponentially as you proceed with the story. The Peacock Cut is
a literary delight and the choice of
words has infused life into otherwise ordinary story.
A low-point being that there were many proof-reading mistakes of
apostrophe, inverted commas and even spelling mistakes. Also some stories
appeared to be routine blogging stuff and a few wore the look as if they were
translated from Hindi.
Apart from these, the book is just a perfect read and is prescribed
dose of musings of urban life. It is worth the money you spend on it. My
personal favourite being - Father Of My
Son.
You are going awesome man.Far better than me. :)
