Amazing Writer - Ashwin Sanghi!!!

Well!!! I Did not know Shawn haigins alias Ashwin Sanghi till the time I dropped in at Moor Market, near Chennai Central in May 2011... I was seeking for Original Books in a discounted cost & suddenly I Zeroed in on a book Called " The Rozabal Line".. There were so many encomiums jotted down on the cover of the book & I was compelled to purchase that Book..I bargained hard & grabbed that copy in 110 Bucks! The Book was un-Put downable read.Then I Googled for the whereabouts of this author.. Amazed to know that he is business man in Day time & author/family man for the rest of the day! What a striking Balance he has maintained... Bread & Butter on one side & creative strive on the other.. Well.. I was Desperately waiting for his second Novel. That Book Called  " Chankakya's Chant" arrived in May.. Needless to say I finished that 450+ odd pages book in 3 days as it as so fast moving. Two stories in parallel  ... & since I was pondering what depth of thinking a writer could possibly have.. Soon I got a chance to meet him at Landmark, Chennai in July 2001.. We met, we discussed & I was impressed with his impeccable & practical way of thinking.. I was fortunate to have a signed copy of his book & it is my prized possession now!!! If you like Thrillers.. Go grab " The Rozabal Line" & " Chanakya's Chant".

Bihar Awakening!

Well Much has been said, Much has been Written about the recent revolutions taken in the regime
of Mr. Nitish Kumar.. But It would require a visit to actually feel the difference...

I would Share my experiences with you during my recent visit in October 2011.

  • In the wildest of my dreams;I would have never thought of a dinner at around 10 PM in the tinsel town - Motihari. But Yes.. We had our dinner around 10.30 PM in a recently opened Fine Dining restaurant.
  • It used to take herculean efforts in journeying from Patna to Motihari ( Distance would be around 165 km); I have traveled the same within 3.5 hours by adopting the rural roads!
  • I had a surprise visit to a primary school situated nearby my home; What I saw was totally different from what we were used to.. all teachers presents in all the class. Women teachers were not knitting the sweaters for their spouse!
  • Electricity - It must be a very simple term for the people who are living in metro. But for us; who have spent their whole childhood in saving the " Lalten " from the wind! Yes till 12th we have been using the "Lalten".. Electricity for 1-2 Hours in the night was like an oasis! Now a days you can experience at least 16-18 hours of electricity!
