Just read the Man Booker Prize winner " The White Tiger " by Aravind Adiga. Very unusual book , especially for an Indian author as he uses "foul language' quite often (e.g sister fucker ), offensive (e.g."how many god's arses I need to kiss?"), offensive but facts about the Ganges, high rich /poor divide etc. Interesting book indeed.

Just read the book : "Go Kiss the World" by Subroto Bagchi. Author is a co-founder of highly successful IT Consultancy firm Mind Tree,Bangalore and prior to that Vice President in Wipro, Bangalore. He has graphically described his early childhood days in small towns in fifties/sixties in east India, values imbibed by his parents etc. His rise & insights in working in corporate world, successes & setbacks,the blunder he committed when he quit Wipro to join Bell Labs/Lucent etc.could serve as useful lessons for young professionals.
I would rate the book 4* ( Maximum 5 *)
