Are the books worth the cash ????

hey readers!! you all know what ?? actually i was thinking from morning on what the hell i could write here.....

so at last i came up with the idea of telling you all something about the new INDIAN reading trends .oh ya i would be so big a dumb if i don't tell you all about the recent book i had read.
Well i wont bore you telling the whole story or the climax. Its an awesome book. Written by Judy balan. The name is TWO FATES .
A bit different from the usual Chetan bhagat style .( style ?? mmm...ya of course he has lessened his fans after he came up with his latest revolution 2020...ah in fact , i was one ). well let me come back to what i was saying, two fates is actually a parody of Chetan's book Two states which indeed was a big hit.  Two fates actually deals with what happens after the two states marriage and the whole story hangs around the fights and divorce between the couple. Hmmm it is a good one to read , so if  you find time to grab a copy , you can be sure you are not wasting your money. !!

The thing i was saying was about the latest trends in writing ; to be precise , the Indian writing styles developing these days.. A lot of new and young authors are coming into the novel scenario of India. But to be frank , are these Indian books worth the cash ?? Well not all..!! Printing a story and selling it off at low rates in all the railway stations can be called a success eh ? no offense .. but i don't feel so. ( my words seem pointing some people eh ?? OK i cant say its purely fictitious or no contact with living or dead !! )

I also have bought a lot of Indian books by many Indian authors but what happens is the review will be really good .( As always .. like featuring the ripened part of a rotten mango ). Then starts reading. Ha ha... Page 1 goes fine and so does the first 20 or 30, but when i cross to the pages after that ,slowly the fact dawns before me (  congrats buddy !! here goes your hundred bucks into a drain ). Well  the Chetan bhagat phenomenon of selling out books at cheaper rates have been adopted by a lot of people ( and god!!  its working out ) Why the hell are not a penny worth books becoming the national bestsellers ?? wola !! same reason again...

Its actually a bit like the old saying .. more expensive more extensive use it would be of.  Well am not particularly against any author or their writing , but there should be some sense before publishing some books. Selling at cheaper rates is really a cool thing to do as it is making the buying ..reading process open to all. But i pray the books that are yet to show up have some better things to deal with ( other than the usual use of foul language and dirty talks !!). Well i do am voting for the younger authors who are coming up ..what about you ???  ahh....who knows... may b i'll be writing a novel one fine day :)
