The Great Indian Novel
by Shashi Tharoor
It seems there is a very structured process one can follow to achieve authors level of writing skills. Write a book with your limited knowledge of vocabulary. Once done, start using thesaurus on every word you wrote. Dr Tharoor was overly passionate about using every word he knows in English. As a reader, I might appreciate it in his speech or a tweet, but in a book, it was exasperating.
Dr Tharoor was impartial in making the connections between characters from the epic and history. And that was the only fascinating part of the book. There are no takeaways in this confluence, just a few opinions on the accounts that happened in the past.
So if you are the one who knows little about our history or the accounts of the epic tale of Mahabharta, you can undoubtedly enjoy. For others, it might be an abysmal experience.
