Book Review - The Surrogate Lies


Title - The Surrogate Lies
Author - Shantanu Munshi
Genre - Comedy(Fiction)
Publisher - Half Baked Beans
ISBN - 978-93-84314-77-4

The book is a story about how different people from different walks of life meet and go on a journey. Though the book hasn't got a logic, which according to me is justified, since it does not need one, the book will make you sit captivated till the end.

It revolves around 4 main characters - Paul, a writer ; Hazare, a stranger ; Raj, a driver and Ben, a mysterious foreigner. What brings them together is what you need to find out reading the book. Though the book claims to be of comedy, I did not get much of laughter. May be I did not got hold of the tiny tit bits though in some places, I did laugh.

The book wouldn't disappoint you. If you are looking for a change from your routine genres, this book is a good choice.

The book is available on Amazon

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India.
