When it comes to reading material, you won't find me running to the bookstore to buy the latest bestseller or prize winning book. I have yet to read The Da Vinci Code or The Harmony Silk Factory (popular books at one time) and don't plan to. As for the Life of Pi (winner of The Man Booker Prize 2002), I did read all 356 pages of it, coz it was a Christmas present from a friend and I believe in doing justice to presents! That was the only reason I was seen carrying that book around way back then. The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga however is an exception. Admittedly I have come to the book a bit late, it was published in 2008 and won The Man Booker Prize the same year. An exception because of the subject matter the author choose, and the voice in which the story is narrated. Unlike a slew of other Indian authors who have taken the publishing world by storm with stories of sweeping family sagas and the plight of immigrants in the West, all well peppered with the heady scent
