2 Peg ke Baad 2 Peg ke Baad by Nikita Lalwani
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars





Blurb -

2 Peg Ke Baad brings together 14 short stories that happened after 2 pegs, in an inebriated state. World's greatest stories are created when people are high - masterpieces are painted, universal truths are realised, models on billboards are befriended, lovers are united, butts are kicked, confessions are made, and relationships are sorted.

My view -

2 Peg Ke Baad by Nikita Lalwani, is an anthology of 14 short stories. Its one of the best anthology I had came across, ranging various emotions and socialistic thoughts. The name refers after 2 pegs but I or author doesn't encourages alcohol consumption. 2 pegs is the only common things which connects the stories from one another.

In this book the stories were not started from the bar or on the bar nor in-between 2 pegs. Its all of true emotions, feelings, love, friendship, humour, pain, betrayal, socialism. This captivating stories keep the readers glued till the end.

The titles of 14 stories are,

1. A Walk With A Call Girl
2. My Last painting
3. What Happens in Banaras... Stays for a Lifetime
4. How We Got Married
5. Apology! Sex Pays
6. Papier Blanc (The Blank Paper)
7. When All That Mattered Was A Gun
8. Drive-In-Sanity
9. Kicking the Butt
10. Rosita in the Bar
11. It's not a Love Story
12. Epilogue
13. Euphobia
14. Car no. 88

My favourite are "Papier Blanc (The Blank Paper)" and "My Last painting", Papier Blanc is all about Kiara, a girl who consists of many dreams which is shattered because of her betrayed lover. So soul touching one.

My last painting is all about Ananya Jethi, who is looking for job satisfaction. Who changes her job until find a job in creative writing, where she finds kiaan whom he is more comfortable with, yet it also ended in sad, pain. As a end she finds out her most passionate one - painting, the last painting.

I think the cover is also an boost up with a glass consists of red liquor, an beautiful cover and the blurb states exactly what the novel is.

Do pick the book " 2 Peg Ke Baad " - An anthology of unique, emotional, feelings and a great read.

The man you know... the journey you don't

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the most known person in India.  A man who changes the dimensions of Indian cricket team. We all read and listen to his day to day activities somewhere daily, in it. What makes this biopic special? Why it is must watchable? Eventually all will see how he is only after becoming a celebrity but we doesn't know the other side of a coin. A goal keeper to wicket keeper, A ticket collector to biggest trophy winner. Being a celebrity we all loves but ever noticed difficulties in it? You know the man who hits last ball six in ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 but the efforts behind that, did you know? Did you ever imagine how he would be before playing for India & after playing for India. Just imagine how the life of man who is noticeable by media will be? The questions may many but answer was within this biopic only. Did you ever blamed Dhoni for team India loosing? If yes means you have biggest responsibility of watching his biopic.

Review: BARS and BEATS

BARS and BEATS by Venkat My rating: 5 of 5 stars Blurb - Weaving through the glamorous studios, the recording booths and the mixing consoles, this is the story of John-a violinist, and his very close talented technician friend Sundar, who works for the country’s best music composers.  The immensely talented artists like Rajashekar and Rahim are striving to give their best, but will they be able to hold on to their own spaces and face the challenges thrown by the hidden enemy?  With changing technology, the problems are also new-fangled.  The sweat, sleaze, stains, and the inside stories of hard work of the real audio recording world, passing through different periods, come to life through the characters who endeavor to attain success and fame.  The wretched ones are trying to take advantage of the weak, and an underlying real threat of piracy is looming large on the lives of the entire music industry folk.  Will the enemy be trapped ?
