Daemon
This book is an exhilarating ride. Can a person, after his death, infiltrate, control and micromanage the lives of people, events and corporations? Quite so, if you go by this excellent post-cyberpunk thriller.
Finn, Tolstoy, and happy families
Tolstoy begins Anna Karenina with “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” A.J. Finn’s character in The Woman in the Window says that “No family, happy or unhappy, is quite like any other.” Who is right?
Punjabi By Nature 2.0
We really loved the Punjabi by Nature in Koramangala, and were disappointed by the original version in Whitefield. This revamped effort worked for us only because of the terrace seating. The beer is decent, the food is below average, and the service marches to its own beat!
Murder in Mahim
This is different territory from Jerry Pinto’s previous book and therefore it would be unfair to compare. The narrative is tight, and the author tries to achieve a balance between a reflective commentary on how sexuality is perceived by society, and a gripping murder mystery. Tough job, decent effort.
Byg Brewski Brewing Company
Every Brewsky reminds me of MTV Grind, this one in Hennur is no different. The sheer expanse of the place will no doubt awe you. The food is decent, the cocktails are just above average, and it might take a while for the service staff to warm up to you.
