'The Immortals of Meluha',
'The Secret Of the Nagas' and
'The oath of the Vayuputras'.. the Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi.
Brilliant craft work, technically wise, deviced like a screenplay than a novel. I thank Ranjini for providing me with the books.
Harshi said, "it's like reading the script of Bahubali."
Even if it is correct, millions of copies have already been sold. Its a good book to start with to those who are new to English reading. Simple and excellent narration.
Meluha- the first one- beautiful.
Make your mind to that of a 17 year old... And start reading humbly. Then it is really thrilling.
The Nagas- while reading the second book I had to descend from where I mounted in the first book. The same type of narration, similar techniques to unveil the secrets. There is a story. There are suspenses too. But you don't even suspect; but sure about the climax of some suspenses- the same weaving pattern.
The Vayuputras- the third book. I turned many middle pages sparing reading, then some superficial reading here and there... I wanted the story. The main thread only. After two third of the book I grew interest. When the focus falls on the events of Sati's end I kept following closely. At the end of the book I was satisfied and happy. Thanks to the author from all the depth of my aggregate organic soul; from the first female of the subcontinent who heard Sati's story and painfully felt as a stranger at her own parents' home. In 'The Oath of Vayuputras' Amish Tripathi brave heartedly changed the fate of Sati from a suiciding failure to a successful warrior! Whether the millions believe it or not! I am really grateful to him and would like to express it on behalf of half a million female readers whose wet eyes silently smiled in merry while reading the death of the powerful, the graceful, the proud Indian girl.
Amish Tripathi deserves appreciation for a thorough research on the unwritten history and mythology in a sort of an intellectual way. He is talented and made the books the most suitable for Indian market.
But beyond the rules of the market, a book has its own soul with all its rights and wrongs. Any reader can receive a good book with those rights and wrongs as a wholesome personality. Spend too much intelligence on what the market, the reader needs.. slice the piece of literature into its rights and wrongs, pick all the rights and keep in a plate, just ready to eat.. too wise to win a heart! Think of a restaurant serving you Pizza or aloo paratha cutting the mighty dish into pieces exactly to the ideal size of a morsel!! Your heart will say "I want the original pizza to eat it myself." Won't it?
