Would you be interested in trying my debut fiction novel 'Once Upon the Tracks of Mumbai' for a book review. For more details, please visit www.rishivohra.com. You can also get back in touch with me through my website. :)<br /><br />Look forward to hearing back.<br /><br />Rishi<br />www.rishivohra.comRishi Vohrahttp://www.rishivohra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-38624360401321987442011-12-14T03:12:45.020+10:002011-12-14T03:12:45.020+10:00Precisely Kunal.

And I am completely with you on the errors - that's actually unpardonable. The publishers can't probably change the author's language/style. But editing/proof reading is a 'hygiene' factor, to say the least. We expect a book to free from such glaring errors.<br /><br />Yes let's hope not one, but many 'someones' will take the risk! <br />Thanks for stopping by here :)Vinitha Valsalan Rakeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818387748653424845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-76890792469246417702011-12-14T01:10:21.842+10:002011-12-14T01:10:21.842+10:00I think, the analogy between the crappy movies bei...I think, the analogy between the crappy movies being churned out and the so called trashy books being fed to us is quite apt.. <br /><br />Part of the reason, I think, is, there is always a tendency of following other foot steps, doing something, which has been done successfully before. New ideas, New style of writing, innovative story lines, unique presentations, experimentation is virtually nil. And part of this blame goes to both writers and the publishers. May be publishers are afraid of printing something different, unwilling to take a risk from an unknown author and in turn the author sticks to the tried and tested formula..and this viscous circle engulfs us in the form of those books. Even that said, there is no excuse of the errors present in the book, which can put off any reader. <br /><br />However, there is hope, always that someone will take the risk, someone will write a different and a true book which will be appreciated by true readers.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />P.S - I am a vociferous reader. I have no ambition of getting published. :D <br /><br />Best Wishes :)Kunalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801232027548934686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-89471034697006286392011-12-09T03:42:43.874+10:002011-12-09T03:42:43.874+10:00Exactly Krishna - some people have just read him! ...Exactly Krishna - some people have just read him!

I read another one (<i>sigh, when will I learn?</i>) - it's called <i>'When The Marriage is made in Comedy Circus'</i> by Deepali Basur. This was borrowed, and so at least that's wasted only my time (and not money!). That completes my trilogy of 'bad books'. That's enough chances to 'em!<br /><br />Seriously, publishers who encourage such things should be hanged! <br /><br />C-Bag (as he's fondly called) isn't bad. Actually, I enjoyed 'Five Point Someone' a lot (the only book of his I liked). But sadly, it spawned a lot of 'me-too'writers. As you said, 'literary Frankenstein'!<br /><br />Go to a bookstore soon. There's only so much 'random' browsing one can do online. It's much more fun going to stores and doing it :)Vinitha Valsalan Rakeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818387748653424845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-90928254321012483752011-12-06T04:23:21.880+10:002011-12-06T04:23:21.880+10:00Yes Arju, I agree with you there.

At least the writing/publishing industry wasn't widely accessible/available to all. It took some amount of effort to be published. But with publishing going 'democratic', now it's anyone's choice. It's a good thing in one way, because even the good 'strugglers' get a break faster/easier than before. But bad because it has invited a whole host of uninvited guests!Vinitha Valsalan Rakeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818387748653424845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-41349955559444430542011-12-05T16:36:23.822+10:002011-12-05T16:36:23.822+10:00If you value your time and your life, don't ev...If you value your time and your life, don't even venture towards "Oh shit not again!" So upset was I after reading it that I wrote a mail to the publishers asking them why they bring out such trash in the name of books. ANd the problem witht hat book is not so much the story as is the editing. Horrendous!!<br /><br />And ya, after CB, everyone thinks they can write a book. Actually, anyone can. Whether it is good or bad is what matters. Like I asked in my book review of 'I'm not twenty-four', will joining an MBA ensure that I'll eventually write a book, somehow or the other? I won't say CB is a bad writer. He writes for a certain section of the society, who still buy his books, whatever his critics say baout him. But like you said, he gave way to a whole bunch of people who think that they can write a book if they know even a bit of English. He created a literary Frankenstein. :/<br /><br />And I seriously miss going to bookstores and randomly browsing and buying. :( I should make a visit soon.Spaceman Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143505093943885418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29148094.post-82236703925930079142011-12-05T01:30:43.603+10:002011-12-05T01:30:43.603+10:00Well said.
