The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
A good book with a nice cup of coffee, nothing can be more relaxing and it also boosts up your creative energies.
Today I’m reading ‘The White Tiger’ by Aravind Adiga, with my favorite Irish nuts coffee.
Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger has won the Man-Booker prize in 2008 the same year of its publication.
The White Tiger is the story of Balram Halwai, who calls himself ‘Tomorrow’ the son of a village rickshaw walla, who through tricks and determination becomes the driver to the hated village landlord.
“The Autobiography of a Half-Baked Indian”, is the title given by Balram to his life’s story.
The book takes the form of a series of letters from the narrator, now a self-described entrepreneur in the bustling hi-tech city of Bangalore, to the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, describing “the real India” he will not see during his upcoming official visit.
The book highlights many dilemmas faced by the Asian countries in the name of democracy and huge class differences in a very humorous way.
“A rich man’s body is like a premium cotton pillow, white and soft and blank. Ours are different. My father’s spine was a knotted rope, the kind that women use in villages to pull water from wells.”
‘The white tiger’ is the kind of book that keeps the reader involved till the end. Enjoy and get a good reading therapy.
“I should talk a little more about this chandelier. Why not? I’ve got no family any more. All I’ve got is chandeliers.”
