The Incredible Banker

 Ravi Subramaniam

 

It would feature in "The Must Read Novels By Indian Author" List for me (provided I ever think of making such list and find the patience to do it)...not that the author hadn't impressed me with his "If God was a Banker" tale...but this one is again a gem coming from him...

And gem because he talks about finance (to a gal with major in Finance in MBA and still scared of someone asking her if depositing money in bank would be debit or credit), and makes it sound so simple...he talks banking and he makes you wish equally to be a part of that industry as well as thank God that you aren't in it...and of course, the way he brings two totally different areas together...the Naxals and the banks...you don't expect this from Indian authors..all I expect are college stories, love stories and of course the new buzz topic, Mythology..

Accepted the novel wasn't a lot too believable (on second thoughts, it was...what if it has happened, or is still happening...on smaller, tough to detect scale) and is an amazing read...after reading loads of Indian authors in last few weeks, this one made sure I am totally hooked...and of course, convinced me that I can still continue to look forward for Indian Author Writeups...
