Tagged on Indian Writing
Long long ago, very long ago the wonderful noon, the charming Sunshine’s mumma and the sweet Kiran tagged me on Indian Writing.
It had completely slipped my mind and also needed me to THINK!!
Today while reading the latest post of noon, I read the first commenter honoring the tag and realised I had missed it too. Though I don’t read a lot and don’t have much to add, I had to write just to honor the tag!
I am not a big book reader, particularly fiction not my up of tea. I like to read books that are loser to reality, go ahead call me boring!. The closest to fiction is Calvin and Hobbes, with an exception I Love it!
I love to scan magazines and surf the net.
My all time favorites are Amar chitra katha and chandamama.
This was the first book I got introduced as a child. Probably why I love it to date. Though I have outgrown it, if I see one in front of me today, I got to read it.
- Malgudi Days by R.K Narayanan.
Does it need a mention?
- Five point someone by chetan bhagat
Wonderful book, its a story of three friends Alok, Hari and Ryan who rank the toughest exam, get into IIT only to get frustrated with the system.
Dislaimer: No, I am not from IIT. But those who made their first best friends at college can very well relate to it.
- The Namesake by Jumpa Lahiri
Beautifully written, my kinda book. Not sure I an relate to the character as of yet, only time will tell.
- The Elephant Paradigm by Gurucharan Das
Talks about India rising as a steady elephant based on the potential of its hungry youth. Though I don’t agree with few of this theories, it was a good read.
- The Glass palace by Amitav Ghosh
Read this as it happened to be in my house.. I am not a big fan of historic tales though this one was well written.
I am not tagging anyone as I am writing this really lateee.. If there is anyone reading this and not yet been tagged, please consider yourself tagged!
