Like blogging, I have lost the habit of reading. Or if I read, I do it very slowly. Literally painfully. Anyways, am reading Being Indian by Pavan K. Varma. Have only just started. Was recommended by a friend and colleague, fellow desi. Didn't like the premise the book was written on. Am still skeptical it will play too much on western clichés of India. However have liked immensely what I have read so far. I particularly liked the language and presentation style - very academic!
Is a good change from financial journalism I have grown used to of reading lately. Hope it keeps the interest alive till the very end for most of my latest reads have fizzled out midway. Or maybe I am developing attention deficit disorder!
