The Wages Of Life The Wages Of Life by Vikram Kapur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Blurb -

The Hindu nationalist movement, Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, a seattle based computer engineer and Perry Mason novel are just some of the threads woven into the taptstry of this story. Meticulosly reserched, the Wages of life interweaves India's past and present to tell a story that blends fact and fiction, while retaining all the elements of a classic mystery an intricate plot, unfolding through a fast pace narrative, leading to an unexpected climax.

My views -

The Wages of Life by Vikram kapur is a fictional tale perfectly blended with murder mystery related to historical background from Pre and Post Partition of India to Riots, Hindu nationalist movements. The novel is divided into three parts which start from Ravi who goes to America and lost touch with his home also missed his mother's funeral visit India to take his father along with him. While he visited Delhi only gets the news of his father had been died in an accident but the series of incidents happened after the accident makes him confused, as it makes the accident look like hit and run. The more he into his father's past, more the shocking things he comes to know.

This novel was surely an interesting thriller that I can't let it go till the last page. Narration was steady and simple. Characterization was always important to this kind of genres due to more historical backgrounds it tends to increase characters, here author made sure his command over characters also it shows the background researches he did for the story.

Overall, The Wages of Life is a very good thrilling experience for me with the lucid language which gives a steady flow to the reading. I would suggest for someone looking for reading new genres and beginners for a very good experience.

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 ?
