The crux of the story - How a casual sex with a co-worker can turn the life on its head?

I see this as yet an other great novel. I see so many comments of people not liking the novel. Basic question is why do you like some novel? or why you dont like a novel. I guess, when a writer's becomes famous with a stature such as SLB. His novel should sell in the market. It may not only be due to the legacy of the novel, or the controversy which surrounds this novel or his previous one or his legacy..or it simply sells just because it exposes the "desires which an indian mind would like to hide". <br />Now, when you come to "likability" of a novel. There are differences of opinions. For the people who do not like the novel - they may not like it, cause they are not brought up in their personal life in way described in a novel or having a conservative - 'very much indian' - "being good being bad" feelings about a subject called sex. They may think, sex should always, to be be a part of love, nevertheless,its apart from love, and it may continue to be called an affair or just an one night stand. Its a commodity where anybody can purchase for some means. That's what he is depicted in the form of characters, which is true in real sense of the world. Acceptance of truth or believing this is a truth is up to reader's discretion. However, believe it or not, this what it is at the end of the day in a real life scenario.Sriharinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832.post-25512151805150601202012-11-02T03:52:01.063+05:302012-11-02T03:52:01.063+05:30@Raju - Bhyrappa's previous works are haunting...@Raju - Bhyrappa's previous works are haunting.

This book comes no where near to the league of Bhyrappa's other classics like Parva, Gruhabhanga, Avarana, Tabbaliyu Neenaade Magane and Vamshavruksha. As you rightly mentioned, the two parallel stories never meet even though there is a very loose link at the end. I felt, the characters are highly exaggerated and seem to live in a pseudo world. Novel ends in a typical filmi-style. None of the characters come close to heart and I felt, Bhyrappa has failed to depict any human relation in real way. There is over emphasis on extra marital affairs. The fact that industrialist's second wife does not know who the "real" father of her child sounds ridiculous. There are many such shocking and very silly plots in the novel. Kavalu surely is a black spot in Bhyrappa's works.AnthonyAnrRhttp://homeforlife.biznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832.post-84044716577684489692011-12-13T11:58:33.349+05:302011-12-13T11:58:33.349+05:30Good to see there are quite a few people who agree...Good to see there are quite a few people who agree with me :)<br />The book is nothing more than a man, deeply nostalgic about the times lost, venting his frustration over the new worldChaitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419632289201133342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832.post-68400084352722496942011-07-05T09:01:37.819+05:302011-07-05T09:01:37.819+05:30if i could have read before my marriage i will nev...if i could have read before my marriage i will never get marry!!!....Global Air Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078202333960782067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832.post-47586667693516497412011-05-30T10:56:03.645+05:302011-05-30T10:56:03.645+05:30Thanks for the concurrent views Ramesh.Thanks for the concurrent views Ramesh.Lost in thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177323757059035525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832.post-54385409814140562182011-05-26T04:33:31.763+05:302011-05-26T04:33:31.763+05:30I am also disappointed.

Looks like it is written a hurry!<br />The software developer's love affair and the divorce is also not commoon in USA. There is a big impact on the indian society, man/woman relationships due to the unstoppable western values. In implementing equal and just society, there could be lot of mistakes(like the putting any one without question to acell when awome complains).

Because he has a deep command on the logic and philosophy his writings may not suit to everyone's tastes. Perhaps he could only come out and explain eh he let the two stores run in parallel but not meet. I suppose all the incidents.that happen in society don't need to be connected although it might be conventional to think so. I like his novels for the deep philosophy he brings in to the characters be it good or bad and make me go back and do some reading on the ancient Indian philosophy . Aavarana for example took an entirely new path in its sfr acne so did parva. <br />SLB is known for his deep.Passion for the sanatan tradition ,, one may have a different view but as a resident in a western country ,the life here sucks and so does.the.society . The liberalism that this society has been practicing has thrown values away and family as a.unit is.pretty much.non existent. Swinging the issue from one end to another does society no good. The dowry issue has the same fate. <br /><br />SudarshanSudarshanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628394810779188315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832.post-52346712633264795382010-10-13T18:08:03.074+05:302010-10-13T18:08:03.074+05:30wixppvelncksbwebts...
