This is an interesting read. I have spent about 10 months now with this book and it’s a very heavy and long reading I have ever done. It gives you some good detailed insight into the Indian business and how the scene has progressed since those times. But be ready for a very intensive read – No light reading this is.

This was a good read. However I think the link which kept me reading was the mystery. Not being too much of a history lover I was lost in certain sections of the book which I will admit I just glanced through. I also hear that his earlier book too has more or less the same dosage of history – So I am giving it a skip.

Ok, I’ll be honest. I consumed this one only because there was nothing better to do this Sunday afternoon. I was attracted to the story because it was set in and Ad Agency and Ben looked liked your typical high-power salesman. The story could have been weaved a little tight but sweet enough, anyways.

I think 45 minutes into the movie, I could say only one thing – Tom Hanks does it again. After a splendid performance in Cast Away he played another great role in this one. He seems to have liked scripts which shows how humans stuck badly can fight it all and yet survive to see the other end of the ocean (READ: Terminal). Although a slow moving script it keeps your entertained with the little things that Tom does. Building an entire bathroom fountain for her was so touching, indeed.

It’s an interesting read because management lessons mixed with a good story line keeps you hooked.
