The title comes from the Kannada saying "pustakada badanekaayi ooTakke aagolla" which roughly translated means the Brinjal (or aubergine if you prefer) in the book cannot be used to eat / cook. I have always enjoyed the world of words from as long as I can remember and in here I try to write down my opinions about the books I read. No reviews just opinions!

'Indian Summer' in winter
History that you will not read in Indian textbooks. I for one feel very vindicated on account of Gandhi but am not sure of the glorified Nehru legacy. An intimate look at the Raj, Independence and Partition. The romance between Nehru and Edwina didn't bother me and doesn't skew the narrative either.
