Blood Red Sari

Writer: Ashok Banker
Genre: Fiction

 I thought I was not going to like it looking at the synopsis but it eventually surpassed my expectations and I must say it is very well written. The protagonists, who happen to be females, are extremely well carved and practical characters. They are so unlike the general central characters that usually form the center stage in fiction books.

The book is supposed to be the first part in the trilogy named 'Kali Rising' but it’s too small a book to be called the first part of a trilogy. Or so I think!  I disliked the way the book climaxed for the first part has no substantial plot except for the introduction of the characters. And now to satiate my curiosity I have to buy the sequels. Sigh!!

Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

Writer: Sheryl Sandberg

Genre: Management/Non Fiction

 The data points and statistics used to explain the thought process of a woman is really the USP of this book. It’s worth a read and especially if at times you are flustered about the choices you thought you had made :)
