Listening to the GrassHoper : As if, i didn know that!!!

A Masterpiece??? Read and decide
After the award winning “The God of Small Things” from the Socialist cum writer, it was a different side to see which was there in “Belly of The Beast” and with the “Algebra of Infinite Justice” the democratic calculations of additions and subtractions were again out in the open. With “Listening to the Grasshopper” , Arundhati Roy immensely focuses on the terms like genocide and bigotry , redefining them so as to make them understandable for the people which don’t often encounter such terms in their daily course. Terms like these which have marked their presence in history, with a bloody stain still waiting to be washed.
Listening to the Grasshopper underlines the inconsistencies in the largest democracies of the world, and makes the general public aware (if they aren’t till date!!!) of what lies underneath the blooming flowers. The more than obvious attitude of any Indian blaming the in power government (who cares what the opposition says isn’t it) is the idea behind this book , and is also the kind of attitude the author is trying to change. It may appear that the author is an upcoming ticket holder from the Mighty Congress, but the book is as real as anything on politics would ever get. By again and again redefining the term democracy, the literary powers of the author have grown to such an extent and he can delude the readers from the fundamental meaning of the term.
If you know a historian, than do sit with him sometimes for a cup of coffee and he will tell you, that this mighty big nation has innumerable instances where the basic reason for its very existence were defied and debated upon, but he will also tell you that the nation still stands. Even if it does not hold its head high, it still pretends to do so and with a hell lot of accuracy. JAI HO

Hart’s War : The Ball is in Your COURT

An Exciting Courtroom Drama..one of a kind
The guys out there made innumerable attempts to smell the free air which reminded me of Chicken Run. And guess what we even had a MAJDOOR UNION, to validate and implement the escaping plans & also to offer a not-very-persuasive testimony incase the good guys didnt make it.
And then…whoa a guy gets killed in the looo…guess just couldnt handle the PRESSURE. And the white guys did what they do best, GET THE BLACK MAN or the monotonous THE BLACK MAN DID IT. I don blame them, if i had as intense an appearance as he did, i wouldve hanged my self. Now,,i don rememeber who came with the out-of-the-box advice but it sure did make an impact.

Anything For You Ma’am : Imaginary Romance

Would force you to fall in love
Hey all, so again we have one of those love stories from another new kid on the block. All the love stories written by Hindustanis are indeed impeccable, coz we provide the reader with the real picture inspite of just dazzling them away. All that glitters is not gold, but is hell expensive these days. The book would touch you at those untouched places, and would also force you to be in love. And would also clear some myths like IITian just have brains , nope they do have a heart aswell and when they use it, they bloody well excel in that aswell.
So, as the title depicts, it is the love story of an IITian (Human Beings type). The title forced me to think that it’s just one of those books in which a student hits on his young & sexy teacher, but fortunately its not. Idealism is like a home made recipe for Desi authors, something which is tough to attain, is not tough to sell when you right about it.
‘Jaisa ki maine kaha tha’, make them curious, and you can even sell them your used clothes at the price of new.
The book has our IIT brainy, who is a champion flirto (Champion because, he goes beyond than just flirting) and hits or tries to hit on his sisters friend. One of the many advantages of having a sister, the chances get increased ( but if you have a sis like me, then your on your own kiddo), then you’ll not mind sparin a few extra bucks on rakhi and Bhai dooj . I wonder where did they come from, easy money guys.
So our JUGADOO who loves to read (like me), is good in talking ( like me) and can play a guitar( not like me) has everything what a girl would want(like me). The guy can sing, talk, think, and say i love you a million times a day.An Adarsh Boy Friend.
But KNOCK KNOCK!!! problem guys, this here is a Long Distance Relationship, poor fellow , STD all the time, i can understand. So since our guys is just sick of spending double the money on just talking ( no naughty stuff, this time its clean), he puts into use , that bada IIT dimag of his, and makes a Yojana to meet his PREM KANYA(Love girl). Oh did i mention another love scene , its the teacher who loves his bull (hahaha) not the SAAND yaar, its BioBull. A kinda Bus which runs on some cheap fuel.
The Books filled with too many (and i mean too many) coincidences. I mean okay, you meet your fathers friend in some distant Sheher, acceptable, but you on a train, with your girls JEJA, and your ADHYAPAK, thazz the bloody limit.
But its a book, and all characters in this book are fictitious, and any resemblance to any living thing or matter would be pure coincidental.:P
Nice work done Mr Raheja, not bad for a debut, and also not a bad buy for 100 bucks. Gimme 30 on every book and every day i’ll blog bout your book, filled with heavy and nice sounding adjectives
All in all, the books nice, fun to read. I am sure you’ll want to fall in love after that, you’ll have that tingly feeling and for the next few days every girl in town would appear to be your true love.
But as i said, everything that glitters is not gold, but its hell expensive ![]()

The Hades Factor : When the world got Covert.

A Thriller with all the Bang Bang
This would be the most absurd order you must’ve witnessed. But its not my fault, its just that i saw Cassandra Compact before i read about Hades Factor (mentioned in Cassandra Compact). This book also deals with some deadly disease which if not checked would destroy the human race (wow, how creative) now now, i know you might be saying ” Kya Yaar,Phir woi baat”, my grandpa used to say it all the time, even when i was saying it for the first time. It took me a lot of time to understand that its just his age, until i understood that, we were fighting almost everyday.
Its nice that no one in the Indian Pharmacy world has read this book, coz if they would’ve, most of them would get listed above Bill Gates in terms of money and above Sonia Gandhi for power (Check out this years Forbes List).
I really regret the fact that i am not writing about the new hot dish on the table these days,its ironic that every dog on the block is pretending to have a mouthfull of that and then just barking in every alley , commenting that it had too much meat. DAMN..
All this happens in Hindustan Only. If its still getting tough to guess the recipe, lemme give it you. Take a pan, pour some home made RSS Oil, cut the BJP in small pieces, Grind JINNAH,NEHRU,& Sardar Patel , Fry Them all together and just Sprinkle some of JASWANT SINGH over it and walla, here we are, the very new BJP DO PYAJA.
Its a big godamn book you know, and i am an Engineering Student so, it’ll not take me much time to complete it since i have all the vella time in the world.
So Now, comming back to our Italian Pasta overhere, the book starts with the JANTA vomiting blood in various parts of the world and the eventually getting dead and all in one of the most scariest of ways. Also our Munda in this tale is the same doctor-karate kid guy as mentioned in cassandra compact. But he’s not the saddy saddy this time, you know why, coz he has his girl. And then we have Mr Ludlum’s style of describing the Feminine Species and he does not disappoint us at all. With utter perfection and finesse he makes us marvel his elegance and art. So both the wouldbe’s are doctors in some big time Government thing under the square (square????…ooops the PENTAGON).
So when the government is running out of mortuaries to fill, the big Bhaiyas of the pentagon start getting their pants wet, and thus prepare a special team to help them dry it.
In the mean time our Lovebirds are just having a nice little cosy time in their hotel room with wine and stuff, just talking i presume. When they are done with their KABADDI thing , the girl has to go, dont get carried away people, they were there for a conference. And our Munda here is just called in the park in night ,no he’s not 2 timing its just that he needs to warned by his SHUBH CHINTAK something like ” Unko pata Chal gaya hain, bhago jaan bachake” kinda shit.
And please put your hands together for…you know who the Ganda Admee, remember that we are in a world where “Ek ki taklif, dusre ka fayda” , want me to translate..no probs it means if somebodies about to get screwed, there’s this someone selling the screwdriver. The question is was he/she about to get screwed just because someone is selling the screwdriver, or their getting screwed coz they’ve already bought it.
The Book is filled with all the answers. The Iraq errand, the bouncing cars, girl friend’s murder, a deadly profit chart,
an ex intelligence officer, a genius ecliptic hacker and our very own Karate kid.
Together they show you, all what you wanna witness and experience.
Sometimes making money doesnot remain same as earning it..

Deception Point : Fictional Parade

An addictive tale, full of everthing that make it a bestseller
In our course of life, we come across a lot of Deceptions, in some cases we can see the real picture, in most cases we can’t. Look around you, there are deceptions everywhere the padosi aunty, the Badmash Neta, your boss, your best friend ( i dont write this coz i am pessimist, itz just coz its true!!!). To come over them, one has to have an obstruction free vision and patience.
Leaving the mysteries of life, lets move on to the DECEPTION POINT, Mr Brown has once again targeted an intelligence agency ( I wonder why security agencies indulge in all this!!!).
The individuals who are chosen to make our life a little easy to live and to make it complication free, who have all the brains in the world, who are sworn under some oath to protect us and all..i think all of this is a deception.
The honesty and modesty of all the Nation’s Security Pillars are out in the open, and indeed has always been a hot topic of debate.
So, the book deals with a rock falling on our motherearth somewhere where it is too icy.And goes down deep and stuff.
Another intelligent girl ( I wonder why Mr Brown loves idealism) is sent in the chilling winter so as to take a peek at that big rock(poor darling), she is our HERIONE. Now when she goes there, where some geeky people have set up the whole shabang, the warm Jacuzzi, a multi- cuisine restaurant, a pool table and ya the less important Chota sa lab to do research on that rock.Considering it’s a research facility, its certainly well equipped.
Now, while people were just busy having their share of fun , some bad guys ( Can’t have a life without them,and also with them
) who just did not enjoy such facilities and were somewhere in a tent(in the killing cold), JASOOSING on these people ( Whether they were just being envy, or were actually serious is still a mystery). When the research is going all hay-wired and all the geniouses of earth are not able to figure out a tinne winnee thing, BANG , the Holiday resort turns into a Mortuary, in a watery massacre ( Read the damn book and you’ll understand why watery) our crew was hunted down, seems not everyone was a good swimmer,so not everyone survived(Acha hain, i didn like all of them, just too intelligent). Oops did i mention the Hero , he is some oceanologist thing ( the term maybe wrong, but you get the thing right??) we also have the chamcha (the spoon).
While they are just having an underwater dinner (our Crew), we have the highly paid boss, in his AC cabin with his secretary ( was it the secretary or somethinn else makin him sweat
).And man, the secretary was damn hot, i mean i read the page with her description 5 times, Mr Brown indeed knows who to cast and who to kill ( the boring intellects).
Now, when we have a huge debate that whether the slimy creatures on the rock, are the children of mother-earth, a drunkard’s imagination, or ET Species ( Extra Toasted ooopps again Terrestrial), the intelligent girl comes out with the best dialogue of the book , somethinn like ‘ Have you seen all the slimy creatures of the planet, its a big god damn planet you know, not your backyard’ (Ohk so not exactly that but …samajh lo yaar), Ha ,right back at you , what do you think now Mr I-Know-Everything.
As the story unfolds, and after the intelligent girl ( its too long to type, lets call her exhibit A) aka exhibit A spills the beans and lets them know the nation’s deep dark secrets (auright, its not some nex gen chocolate,bad girl) , they start seeing the bigger picture( about time).
And down there, in the big city far far (far very far actually) from the action, the hot secretary ( lets remain with that, i don’t mind typing that..) is rocking the world with her right-back-at-you capabilities.
So, after they get over all the deceptions, the big villain uncle is weeping(awww poor kid,should’ve thought that earlier) in a dirty smelly jail for doing baddy baddy things and messing with the wrong people, the secretary with her unique and standing out TALENT is having a better time, and the HERO and HEROINE are back in the Jacuzzi.
And the lived or rather (…..) happily ever after.
P.S.: Just to let all of you know, the hot secretary was not the HEROINE, she cudve been if i were the author but i guess you always don get what you want, maybe in AGLE JANAM, i suppose i’ll be the hero and shell be a the heroine( Courtsey Mr Dan Brown)
