Review: Transit Lounge
Transit Lounge by Sunil Mishra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Author shared all experiences that he made out in his job career of over 15 years. The novel goes like a travel diary where narration was far perfect. Author had made arrangement of each chapter according to the continents.
Chapter 1 - Africa with countries like Ghana, Egypt, Nigeria and Mauritius.
Chapter 2 - Middle East Asia with countries like UAE, Turkey, kuwait and Iran.
Chapter 3 - USA.
Chapter 4 - Western Europe with countries like UK, Netherlands , Belgium, Italy, France and Denmark.
Chapter 5 - Eastern Europe with countries like Romania, Georgia and Croatia.
Chapter 6 - Australia and New Zealand.
Chapter 7 - Asia with countries like singapore, malaysia, china, sri lanka, thailand and indonesia.
Chapter 8 - Latin America with countries like argentina and venezuela.
In all these countries and places author visited he written like comparing his previous trips or how the place differ from India. The unique followings of that place and their culture/heritage details makes me to hooks up completely in the book. Also a minor details like old international airport facilities and present developments in it all this small, small details gives a intresting flow to the novel. I was also amused behind Tehran having -2℃ & rich life of some African countries.
The cover was a average one but well suits for novel and also the title is apt one. The lucid language author used was also been a plus point.
Overall, Transit lounge will makes you to see/imagine different wonderful places of world in 200 pages. I wish author a good success for novel and request to share more travel stories like this in future too. I recommend to every travel lovers here and to readers who likes to read different genres.

“Transit Lounge” is a contemporary book consisting of short incidents, observations and reflections while travelling to 30 countries across six different continents during the last 15 years.
The book is a personal account of travels to places in Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and Mauritius), South America (Venezuela and Argentina), Asia (China, Iran, Kuwait, UAE, Singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka,Malaysia and Thailand), Europe (UK, France, Italy,Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Georgia,Turkey, Croatia and Romania), USA, Australia and New Zealand.
It was interesting to observe all these different cultures and people from an Indian perspective. The book is a compilation of small incidents and events during such travels; it includes losing an air ticket, dealing with difficult custom officials or getting mugged in a prime location in a foreign country."
