Just finished reading Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra an epic literally based on the life of a gangster, police walla, bomb scare and Mumbai. Very very bollywoody fit to be made into a movie. On the other hand, I think it is also a mish mash of a number of Bollywood movies, so there we go...!
But what I wanted to write about was how one can get completly lost in the characters of the novel. Specially a story that has soo many characters and each and every event, character is developed and explained in such detail that it can all individually make a short story in itself. Even though I complain about how the novel is not getting over, I do enjoy reading one, it takes you out of your own life, how ever mundane or interesting your own life would be and you suddenly become a silent observer in the craziness of other peoples lives.
The other part is that after you finish reading it for almost 2/3 weeks there is a complete void suddenly and I am unable to understand what to do... therefore I pick up the next one.
But now, I am surely done with plots based in Mumbai, although I still have maximum city to finish, which is not fiction though. Anyway thats my rant for the day :)
