Indian Fiction

Read three books recently.

Chanakya's Chant by Ashwin Sanghvi has two plots running in tandem. One Chanakya's revenge and how he instals Chandragupta maurya as the ruler of India. The second is set in the modern political scenario where one wise man installs a young woman as the prime minister of India. All the pulp needed to make a political Bollywood mishmash. Will like to see Prakash Jha or Sudhir Mishra adapting this for the big screen.

The Shiva Trilogy by Amish. Two books by a bored investment banker that struck gold. The Immortals of Meluha and The Secret of the Nagas. It pits the ancient Suryavanshis and Chandravanshis against each other and brings the great warrior Shiva from the tribal snow clad plateau of Tibet. This Shiva transforms into Rudravatar the chosen one - Mahadev and chronicles his adventures and how he discovers his destiny.

Great stuff look forward to reading the final piece in the trilogy.

Defeat Again

160 plus and it was still not enough. Rahane seems a good prospect hope he remains in the ODI squad instead of Ravindra jadeja.

Eoin Morgan and Jade Dernbach shined with bat and ball respectively to take England to safety.

In Sri Lanka the Aussies crumbled to 270 plus yesterday. Sri Lanka outdid them today and crumbled for much lesser.

Aussie dominance will be back in form by the time we reach there for the Boxing-Day Tests.
