India shining!

"India shining", "India is the next Super power", "The world is threatened by us", Reality or Make believe? In her latest book - superstar India - from incredible to unstoppable, shobaa de gives us an insight to an agreeable reality check on Is India actually shining? The answer to that question is both Yes and No. Celebrating 60 years of independence coupled with her sixtieth Birthday the author takes us through an array of sex and its preferences, the power of money, attitude, marriage, Bollywood, our need for superheroes to cling to....and much more , the book is an easy read, well researched, humorous and at the same time thought provoking. Hypocrisy, Greed, chalta-hai(let go) attitude. Where is the quality of life in today's India? Yet this country has what it takes to be a superstar. Relocating back to India from the western world is on a rise, but is it because the quality of life is better here? No. It is the moolah which attracts many of them back to their roots. Throwing light on various aspects that panned over the last 60 years, comparing it with the `then' and the `now' Ms De has touched on the pulse of what makes India the much talked about country the world over. Talking out of her personal experience of raising five children she puts herself as a protagonist to bring various messages across to the reader. Her passion and love for her country is undeniable. Simplicity of the language makes it even more pleasurable to read. Yet another masterpiece from one of India's best authors.
