This was my latest venture into light reading. Tuhin A Sinha has weaved a lot of characters together with a spicy tadka of cosmopolitan values and the contemporary relationships. Have you seen the movie “Metro”, if yes and you liked it then you may love to read this as well.
Though I was slightly disappointed as I felt it is written by taking into consideration the commercial aspect of selling the book by making it “James Hadlee Chaeez”. The intricacies of relationships are explained at a much shallow level and the details of physical intimacies are as good as a playboy article. It starts in the same way as “One night @ call center” where the storyline and the characters are established. Thereafter it took off like a soap opera with episodes full of situations, twists and turns.
The only thing I like about the book is the situational context which at times becomes very intriguing and relevant. Be it adultery, sacrifice or lust. The book ends with one to one culmination of all the stories and brining them to logical / philosophical ending. One or two endings might also remind you of “Arth” (Hindi Movie), but again it would not be fair to draw parallels as most of the endings are a lift offs and fail to tantalize your literary buds.
