Key for the open door

Read the statement:

While you were looking for the key, 

the door was always open. 

These lines make Balram into an entreprenuer. Thats the plot of the Man-Booker Prize awarded "The White Tiger" by Aditya Adiga. The same book that was gifted to me by SRK. For details, read the blog below. 

My take on the book: 

- Story is of a bihari called Balram. Raj will be upset. 

- There is no entrepreneurship in the book. Its about a bihari driver killing his employer for money and labelling it social entrepreneurship.

- Good description of Delhi as a nice place to lead life

- Place to drink neat whiskey in car

- Where everybody bribes everybody

- Where everybody lives in bunglows

- Good description of Gurgaon for its waxed legged women

- Big and shiny malls. 

ADITYA Are you a Bong Marxist????

That was my cynic self. 

But the interesting part of the book is that people who are invisible e.g. guard at the security desk, conductor of the bus, the one serving you water in a dhaba, etc. are living beings. These people also have lives and may have interesting stories to tell, experiences to share. Readers of this blog may experiment one thing: When you are outside, look at a stranger in the categories mentioned above, try to think of his background, his family, his history. You will have loads of stories going in your head. 

Afterall, you need to pass time till your friend comes over. :-)
