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!

Half Of A Yellow Sun
After reading Chimamanda's Purple Hibiscus I have been on the look out for her second book. And it is as brilliant and as realistic as the first one. Ugwu, Olanna, Odenigbo, Kainene and Richard do not get out of your head for a long time. It is not for leisure reading though. It shows the dark side of human nature at its starkest.
