Reviewed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The - Douglas Adams

Once in a lifetime kinda book!

What is it that I could say that hasn't already been said about Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. For a novice like me, who must have read just about 150 books so far, this book is like a revelation of sorts. I was completely floored and in awe of the excellent writing style laced with some good...Read more

A bit wayward
And the Mountains Echoed - Khaled Hosseini

@sahil1610 The first story of the 'Div' sets the tone of the book. Ofcourse some stories do not move the plot forward but thats the point! Its a novel not a movie. All stories work cohesively to present a picture of a culture and nation.

Reviewed And the Mountains Echoed - Khaled Hosseini

Extraordinary and soul wrenching work of art!

Even though I loved'Kite Runner', I consciously delayed reading And the Mountains echoed.  Hosseini's'A thousand splendid suns' though beautiful, it drained me emotionally and  I feared the Mountain's echoed would do the same. To be honest'And the Mountains echoed', didn't make me cry but it ...Read more

Reviewed The Serpent's Revenge - Sudha Murthy

Simple yet Whimsical

Remember the days when we spent evenings with grandmom listening to her fairy tales and Mahabharata stories? The Serpent's revenge is reminiscent of those days. The Serpent's Revenge has a simple, clean narrative. It is a compilation of some known and most unknown stories of Indian mythology....Read more

Reviewed Kaabil

Pseudo and Mediocre

When you decide to rip off a successful series such as Daredevil, atleast own it up and do it in style. Kaabil is a miserable attempt by director Sanjay Gupta to salvage his and Hrithik' career. There is nothing more to the movie than the trailer suggests. I believe Vipul Shah's 2002 release ...Read more

Good!

When it comes to flying domestic, Jet Airways has always been my first preference. I have traveled with Jet 4-5 times so far and apart was some flight delays, here and there, I don't have any complains. The ground staff and even the on-flight staff are always professional yet polite. Compared...Read more

Basic and Cost-effective

While flying to Dubai, I decided to be a little frugal and opted for Air Arabia instead of Jet Airways. The air-fare was extremely cheap compared to the other airlines. The only hitch was Air Arabia doesn't land in Dubai, it only lands at Sharjah Airport.I was okay with it. The flight was on ...Read more

A few months ago, I traveled to Goa with Indigo Airlines.

Lesson learned

So I flew from Mumbai to Ahmadabad, with SpiceJet, few weeks ago. To begin with, it was more like traveling in a bus than by air. The flight weirdly smelled of dhokla and khakra. Even though the staff was kind I had to'call-out' to the air-hostess more than twice for just some water. Obviousl...Read more

Disappointing

This book is so disappointing, it broke my heart and even made me question the credibility of JK Rowling. She has delivered a half baked story and even changed the major character traits of the awesome trio viz Harry, Hermoine and Ron. Even Professor Mcgonagall is way too distant and colder t...Read more

An Unsuitable boy definitely gives us insight into Karan's personal life, equation with friends and family and even an overview of the film industry. The first few ch...Read more
