Book review: Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

"though the book narrates story about London of 1830s but it feels like it might be happening with some kid in contemporary India.. "

Book review: The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis

"think a movie will shortly be made on this book as it is so lucidly written with not much jargons.. the perpetrators of the big doom are identified..and main reason for the whole risk being rewards not linked to right calls..immediate gains being valued high at the cost of future.. moot question is that isn't it prevalent in India too?"

Book review: Keep off the Grass by Karan Bajaj

"another quick read book like Chetan Bhagat's novels.. although this book asks more questions.. questions which most of us know and have but shove it in a closet till it rears its head again.. decisions which change lives.. to sum up, Gulzar lines from the book "Yeh fursat ek ruki hui thehri huicheez nahin hai, ek harkat hai, ek jumbish hai".."

Book review: Simply Fly by Gopinath, Captain G.R.

"Respect.. single word to describe courageous adventures of Capt. Gopinath.. shows how one can mend his ways to top.. However, like many biograhies, this book hides the ugly part and shows the good part only..
