A...You have hit bull's eye on CB's writing. As Gaurav Sabnis wrote in one of his posts, his books are for those who have never read 'real' books. His books lack depth of human emotions which, I guess, is the crux of any good literature. You just don't feel what you feel after reading, say an Orwell or Hemmingway. And Rupa so very appropriately prices it at Rs.90 (or is it 95?). Another marketing gimmick aimed at a huge segment of yuppies who haven't read anything apart from their textbooks (not even Sideny Sheldon and Jeff Archer).<br />As far as the 'elitism' is concerned, here's (http://jayajha.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/3-idiots-finally/) a wonderful post by an alumnus of IIT-K and IIM-L on the movie '3 Idiots', another rage of our times.Rajarshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949837409466343426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14545899.post-82964921728919519782010-04-16T10:06:52.904-07:002010-04-16T10:06:52.904-07:00Paul- Thank you for your wonderful advice, I am no...Paul- Thank you for your wonderful advice, I am not that aware of these things I confess. I tried looking for your email id to thank you personally, but could not do it through your webpage.

I am going to tell you something complet...Sunshine,<br />I am going to tell you something completely unrelated to the post. Thank you so much for *not* using the "Comic sans" font for this post. I am not sure why you used it for the previous "you are not one of us anymore" post. May be you wanted to try it out, or it was by accident that you chose that font. Anyways, as wonderful as your posts are, please don't contaminate them by using the "Comic sans" font. I say this because, in the designer community, that font is so heavily over-used (inappropriately) that it is considered a curse, yes you read that right, a CURSE. I am sure most of the readers wouldn't care about *how* your posts look. They come here to see what you have to say/write. How it looks is not much of a deal for the majority. However, every now and then, a person with a keen eye drops by and when he/she sees that font, they cant help but cringe. Why give them that feel? even unintentionally. That said, this is YOUR blog and you have every right to make it look exactly the way you want it to. Just thought would let you know about this (or may be you already do!)<br /><br />Keep writing!<br />Cheers,<br />Paul.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720806075902832612noreply@blogger.com
