This book is the inspiration for all the budding writers across the world to script down total non sense and call it a novel.
The author of the book - Ravinder Singh is a software engineer in Infosys and its his true love story (Thats what is given in the prologue). Its simply a love story. One boy and one girl going round and round the trees in the park. As the author is a SEBP(Software engineer by profession) there is some usage of technology terms like the messenger, the mail etc. Book begins with the boy searching for a girl in one of the matrimony sites where he comes across a girl who interests him. The girl first messages the boy and there starts the love story. Within six months they would be full fledged lovers. One fine day they meet in Delhi after the 6 months of wait and the girl takes the boy to her house and there are some other routine things that will happen after that.
They will convince in both the houses to get married even though they are of different caste and the engagement day will come. The day before the engagement the girl meets up with a terrible accident and dies in the hospital after 4 days.
There are many things that I learnt from this book-1. The first time the girl calls the boy, while hanging up, she asks him to tell her something good/nice.
The boy thinks and thinks and say "Lahore jaanewali train ko hum kakori me lootenge aur wahi se aayenge hamari paisa". I burst in to laugh after reading that. Now if I am having a very serious conversation on the phone with anyone, at the end i'll ask the other person to tell me something good. Heheh
2. The beauty of love need not be glorified while explaining in a book as it is taken by the readers the same way the author wishes.
3. That I can also write a book
Cheers Ravinder!

Major Sandeep na hathye
The book is written by Ravi Belagere. The tragedy of this book is that it has nothing to do with major Sandeep Unnikrishnan's death. Basically it is documentary in english collected by Harilal Wadia - a journalist. Ravi belagere has translated it to kannada and published it in his own publication (Bhavana Prakashana). In the prologue the writter writes that as it is translated to Kannada and Sandeep is our own hero, he titled the book in his name. Surely we know that Ravi belagere is a emotional black mailer. Another tragedy of the book is that it is not even dedicated to Sandeep or the brave lives of the 26/11 Attack.
As told earlier the book is pure documentation of 26/11 attack on Bombay by Lashkar terrorists.
As the event itself is very aggressive, its description is also aggressive making you feel assailing in the end of the book. It starts with descriptions of three events held at nariman point, the Taj and the CST respectively. Later comes the Taj and the oberoi. The book is very informative in terms of the chronology of the events and there is no side taking in the book.
The short description of Lashkar and the Taliban is copied very neatly from "The afghan" by frederick forsyth.
It is worth reading the book if you are looking for only the bird's view of the of the 26/11 attack.
