An Exclusive Interview with the Great Bong – Mr. Arnab Ray
Authors Exclusive / April 27, 2013

His bio reads "Contributor to New York Times India Ink, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal Online, Times of India, DNA and Outlook. Author of two books. PhD, Computer Science. Wannabe politician. Disgruntled movie fanatic. Tranquil cosmic citizen on the prowl for mind-bending experiences." Arnab Ray is all that and far more. His huge fan following on social networks is a testimony to this statement – even your Biology teacher could not have dissected that frog as expertly as the Greatbong takes apart our popular cultural icons with his darker-than-Belgian-chocolate sense of humour.

Rating: ★★★★☆
 
Nuclear Surprise is Rob Carnell’s debut novel and an engaging one at that. With an intriguing premise and attention to detail he manages to keep the reader engaged and turning pages to the very end. The book might seem disjointed in places but manages to come together in the end as all loose ends are tied together.

“Well …. Is it something related to any sort of drug or medication (you know what I mean), hmm?” The very first reaction, one of my colleagues gave when he found me reading this travelogue by Ashwin Wilson. I really cannot blame him either as the title in itself is tempting, pretty much as it sounds to any engineer that too for a would-be management graduate.

Simple, Plain and Clear. These were the words I was thinking about this storytelling, which struck me while turning pages of Jayanand Ukey’s first-ever work “When The Signal Turns Red”. Well, if you ask me to take you further deep, the only suggestion I have for you is just go & read it, as it’s a very simple story being told in even a simpler language.

Lord Jeffrey Archer, one of the most successful writers of our times has magically been at the top of his chosen profession for about 35 years now. No mean feat in a field as competitive and tough as being a full-time author. But wait! While best known as an author, hasn’t he also been a politician? Well, yes, and probably the only one ever to put his stint in the government “guest house” on record in a couple of successful books.
