Shantaram - Hyped!

- I wasn’t aware of its release, didn’t even know abt its success but the brief about the story on its cover surely caught my attention! One helluva read, if u are looking at testing your patience then try it out. The philosophy is awesome, I mean hard fact and bitter pill to digest. As far as story is concerned, if u r looking for a timepass or after a hard day at work, for some rejuvenation then pls avoid! However the description of Bombay (now Mumbai) is wonderful. You can learn a lot about the city coz time and tide doesn’t affect Bombay. Only thing that makes you read it is the autobiography has a serial killer who will be revealed at the end. I doubt if any man can experience so many things in his life to write an autobio of 900 odd pages!! If we go by the author who says he can remember all the dialogues or monologues of his life then..welll….
