Another book by an Indian author, who was a banker, is good compere, loves scotch, cigars - Anish Trivedi.

A first attempt, which looks an attempt to climb the band wagon of becoming a novelist.

There is nothing new about the story except BPO theme and how middle class life is about and how they make choices.

It looks as if BPO is now the flavor of the month/season.

I prefer Anish as a columnist or compere.

I have been reading quite a number of Indian authors more from the perspective of trying to understand what audience are they trying to address; what makes them tick; would they be really consistent or it is more of a fad they are trying to ride.

This book is a kind of chicalit story, on the BPO industry obviously something the writer is working with and has undergone; probably as the main character the upheavals. However, the book could have been woven much tighter especially on the relationship front. It sort of just flits over the relationship vs client vs operations. But, overall it makes a nice “flight” reading.

I am sure it would be read by the BPO industry and the requisite 500-1000 copies would be sold. My other Indian author reviews (if you could call it that) can be found here, here and here.

A book by a doctor from Ranchi…most likely autobiographical, nothing to write about, more like a B minus bollywood movie.

Begins well and then loses its plot, meandering towards it’s closure of 450 pages.

The only reason I ordered was the deal on flipkart and my enthusiasm to see if Indian authors are making the cut.
