'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.

After a long time...

Gosh, it has been 7 months since did an update here!!!!! But I have read many books, attempted many several more and happily forgotten about them. Partly because of paucity of time and mostly because, I hardly read anything that moved me (either way) to write about it.

The Hungry Tide (Amithav Ghosh) was different. I was in awe, I was terrified, I was moved, I was educated, I rediscovered the beauty of the written word all over again.

5 on 5 I'd say
