Hi Harini. Yes, it's been a while since I've blogged regularly. And the east to west commute may yet take a while to get sorted. I guess the Metro might be able to ease that painful commute.

]]> Comment on Shantaram: A review by Red Cat http://www.opti-mystic.net/blog/2005/05/05/shantaram-a-review/#comment-23870 Red Cat Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:28:43 +0000 http://www.opti-mystic.net/blog/archives/2005/03/24/603/#comment-23870 Awful book, full of laughable purple prose (the description of Lin and Karla making love for the first time is hilariously embarrassing) and ridiculous, self important philosophising. Lin is some lind of cross between Rambo and Mother Teresa whose introspection and self-pity are a bit hard to swallow when compared to the real hardship that many slum dwellers suffer. The most ridiculous character is Karla, a woman who is reduced to cold, secretive green eyed beauty who spouts pearls of wisdom for every ocassion. Khanderbhai is an out-and-out amoral sociopath and Prabaker is like a bad colonial caricature form the 1950s. If the book had been confined to a 300 page novel about organised crime in India, it would be a thrilling read, instead it drowns in tedious moralising and navel gazing.

Once I picked it up, it was just a few days before reaching the end. In particular, I enjoyed the reference to and description of various locations around the city, as I came to know these areas during my stay. My experiences in Mumbai made the reading of Shantaram even more engaging. Your review brought back memories of my own reading of Shantaram while in Mumbai during 2007.
