Q & A
by Vikas Swarup
Exactly. It's my lucky coin. But as I said, luck has got nothing to do with it.
You have been counting rosary beads for an era
But the wandering of your mind does not halt

And start moving the beads of your heart.
There is a lot to unpack in this novel. The plot, and multitude of vividly unique and colorful characters add to the rawness and fierceness of the book. I enjoyed reading it thoroughly, and had moments where it brought me to tears. I love books that can be analyzed from multiple perspectives, and this book is just that. It can can be looked at from different lenses like the Marxist, Psychoanalytic, and the Feminist.
Ps. Slumdog Millionaire (movie) is nothing like the book.
It is in the genes of cities to bounce back from disasters - whether natural or man made. The denizens of suburbia have no choice but to survive and move on. But it is the manner in which different cities respond to emergencies that sets them apart.
