The book is definitely better than the movie.. we are saved from the din , noise and cacophony created by Resul Pookutty..
..Ideally you should choose to be a domestic help to people of varying professions.. that way , you come to know from an astronomic about Pluto being the smallest planet..from a diplomat who is spying ..what is persona non grata..from an actress about , which Film fare award , went to whom..
...The Chapter ...A Soldiers Tale , is very interesting.. the quiz winner comes to know Param Vir Chakra is the highest Military decoration for valour during War..from an account of battle of Chamb Jaurian , narrated by a Deserter Lance Naik from Sikh Regiment..
...Colonels who can describe battles in such details of tactics and armament would be difficult to find .. One wonders whether the author of the book is an I.F.S Officer or a retired Fauji from the Sikh battalion..But then, no officer would ever mention , his men ran away in battle..( days of the Martial Race , are fast disappearing..)
... The way the Producers decide not to give the Billion rupee prize to the waiter winner.. ( asks the Police to get a tortured confession from him , that he cheated ) reminds me of the swindle, the "Readers Don't Digest" people , perpetrate in their yearly mega jackpots..
Happy Reading...
