We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Golden Gate (Ff Classics)Golden Gate by Vikram Seth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first and one of the best recommendations my 'then' college acquaintance and 'now' best friend, Padfoot ever gave me at a time when I thought I had read enough! (Padfoot, I owe you BIG TIME for this one!)

The Golden Gate is well written, witty, poetic ( Come on, it's an entire novel in verse )and, I have no other word for it, COOL! Above all, it is a story that you'd carry within you forever!

I can hardly imagine being critical towards a genius like Vikram Seth because not only did he create a novel which I'd always love but also because this novel of his helped me get rid of my 'unjust' prejudice against Indian authors.

So, without further ado, I challenge you to give me one reason why you shouldn't read this book and I'll give you ten for why you should!
