Shruthi likes A Suitable Boy- she has been reading it ’standing up, bending down, with one eye on the stove’, not willing to ‘wait to see what would happen next’:
Linked by kuffir. Join Blogbharti facebook group.And then the most remarkable thing of all – Vikram Seth writes with amazing authority and familiarity about all and varied matters, like religion, caste, beliefs, law, politics, music, literature, shoemaking, sensibilities, social graces, psychology, lifestyle – everything. I cannot begin to imagine the amount of effort that has gone into writing this book!
And what is a book review without casting a few doubts? The social circles that Meenakshi and Arun Mehra interact with – was it really like that in those early fifties? Backless cholis? Dancing freely with the opposite sex? Affairs? And forget all that…. Lata and Malati interacting so free with the boys in their college? Really?


Hi ,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don’t you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘blogbharati’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run http://www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
