Hi Somonnoy You may be right in saying that I wrote less details from the book to support my opinion. But I don' t know who you are referring to by saying 'so much for getting high'. Is it Sen or I? However, although the the essays were written before he got the Prize, the book does not do justi Read More...
Commented on matwalaboy's review
Hello, nice review. But I would like to add that this novel is not only about what happens to Ganesh, MBE, Mystic (lol) or the Indian immigrants' in Trinidad some 50 years ago, but is also about 'How to decipher autobiographies written by our politicians like Laloo (hopefully) and Advani.' That's Read More...

Hey hello Language? Don't worry about it. Just be yourself. Acting refined and polished and pretending to be somebody from England does no good other than pretending to be. That's a sad thing about this country. There are too many people who is afraid of using four-letter words. You can of course Read More...
Hi Karthik Yes, I love good books. In that you are right. But the conclusion you have arrived about my personality after reading my reviews, is not. I never mentioned that I'm more knowledgeable than you, or for that matter from anybody in MS or outside it. I never said 'Look! I'm Tolstoy.' Read More...
Hi Gautam I am yet to read his other books, such as Power Shift, but that will not happen since I have moved on now. I wrote this review, a long time ago, when I was new in MS as well as a beginner. I think these kind of writers are simply cuckoos. They write sh** and earn truckloads of money. Read More...

You read my mind. This year on V Day, I went with a bunch of my pals to eat awesome Chinese food at Leela Palace, Bangalore. We were the odd sorts there.

Hello...a great idea it must have been to write this review..tc Debby
Commented on sharath40's review
I am referring to 'fast moving consumer goods,' a terrible object to be made out of a book.
I did to the book what 'magicalsummer' did (read the first comment on this page). FPS was pretentious; I could not bear it. I don't have a grudge against the writer. I prefer to keep an open mind and not to judge writers by the cover. But truth be told, FPS misleads readers by turning a fine book in Read More...
How are you? I read your review too, and I will tell you, though I'm not obliged to return your compliment, that yours is miles ahead in content and style than mine. Yours is balanced; mine radical. Never the less, I'm glad that I have found a friend on MS. Looking forward to reading your reviews. Read More...

Wow! I feel like Mark Twain! Well, that was a tall order. I like writing book reviews. But I like your reviews more because they are so random - on anything. I don't write on the net except for MS. You may buy 'Down To Earth.' It's a niche magazine. Please look for the byline of A.Debanish S Read More...
