Three Indian books I read.

I have read three fiction books by Indian authors in the last two months. I call them “travel books”. They are a light read and being an Indian you can relate to them.

Anything for you Ma’am: Tushar Raheja

Like Chetan Bhagat, Tushar Raheja is an ex IITian. The book is about a Delhi based guy who falls in love with his sister’s friend who is based in Chennai. The book is a humorous saga of him overcoming every difficulty in his journey to Chennai. The difficulties being his professor, his family, Indian railways, etc. The book is brilliantly written. Kudos to Tushar!


The Three Mistakes of my life: Chetan Bhagat.

The book is about three friends staying in Gujarat. The book is how cricket, love and religion affect their lives. The storyline chosen is appealing to Indians. Like his previous books, the narration is superb. I would rate this better than “5 point someone”. But “one night @ the call centre” remains his best till date.


Trust me: Rajashree

The book is based upon a girl who comes to Mumbai from Amravati to become a set designer after convincing her widowed mother and saving from her scholarship. After a heart break, an abortion, a bad boss and resignation she decides to take up a new job as a small time continuity expert for a Bollywood film. This is where she meets a struggling actor who falls in love with her. The book discusses relationships and has emotions, humour and cynicism nicely spread across the story. It’s a good book to read.

Please recommend some good fiction books by Indian authors, if you happen to know of any.
