Story of a suicide - Review

The novel is a mixture of reality and fantasy. Though both gender live in constant insecurity and confusion, the male always have a better advantage of expressing his views in the society. Yes it is not fair. But do as the romans do, while in Rome goes the saying. I like the way the book begins . It reflects the words of most of you.

The novel takes us through the life of Mani, a topper struggling with language issues, Hari, a child abuse victims fighting with his homosexuality, Sam, a confident geek and Charu, an insecure girl with strong feminist views. The story starts with Hari and his loving family. Despite an understanding family, Hari finds it difficult to discuss his sexuality with them.

We are so worried with our needs that we totally fail to understand the ...

Most of us jump at the oppurunity of marrying an NRI. Little  do we think of the consequences. Not all marriages  are wrong. Still they are not right either. I like the way the story is built. Coincidences and Miracles do happen. The author has pictured a close image of the Indian Scenario. The protagonist reminds of the p eople we met in daily live, simple, submissive yet strong. The book is simple an...
