Review of "The House that BJ Built" - Anuja Chauhan

Anuja Chauhan comes back with a block-buster of a novel with THBB. A jump-sequel to TPTG, this read gives insight into the lives of the Thakur sisters again, even the elusive Chandu and heart-breaker Eshu.

The irritating Bonu Singh, the only survivor from B brood, is running a pirated dress-making business from BJ's house and still pinning for the step-cousin Samar Singh Shekhawat, who is a movie director. The novel follows dementia and demise of BJ and Samar is left to sell the house and give all the girls their hissa as per BJ's deathbed wish. What follows is up for you to find out.

My take: The enhanced flow with the use of Hinglish words tugs at your heartstrings.

***** A definite read if you want to go for a rom-com with less mush and more wit.*****

PS: My mind is still trying out different tunes for the catchy item-number "Aur jee, aur jee, (orgy?).Hats off!!

Confession: I read TPTG after THBB :P

0. Introduction

Dear Listeners

I am here to say my say. After years of creating this blog and posting nothing on it, I've finally come to terms with my mind and now it is pushing me to go ahead and.... well.. say my say. so, here I am to share my wise insights, mostly about books (most probably fiction); but I can blabber complete non-sense now and then. I love reading more than anything else in this world and if there is music (read pure instrumental music, no sing songs) to go along according to the mood of the book.... aaahh, pure nirvana. Its more of a life infusing force than a hobby for me. I like to gobble up books, drinking in the essence of it and making each and everyone a part of my life. 

Mandatory philosophical note: You too can learn a lot from books. I don't want to sound preachy, but the impact those written words have on one's mind is undeniable. Sinking into a book is equivalent to talking to one self. On the other hand, writing about about a book you read is like making a judgment call on your thought process. It is more about analyzing your own interpretations rather than analyzing what the author thinks.

So, to sum it up, I'm going to review some interesting (maybe some not so interesting) books. I would love it if you could share your own thoughts about a book too or anything related to it.... or even something totally unrelated, if you must. Just drop in a line or two and I promise (fingers crossed) that I won't 'judge'.

So, wish me luck.
