Researching Research for a Doodle.
Sounds funny, Researching Research for a doodle, but that’s what I did- and it threw some really surprising inputs and images.

GOD – THE MANTRA OF BRANDING by VIPUL JAIN
‘God The Mantra of Branding’ is a book on Branding born of a dream. It is an attempt by the author Dr Vipul Jain to juxtapose the life of mythological characters (mostly from Mahabharata) to explain his point-of-view and context to Branding. It is not a book for practitioners, who may find it too simplified… Read More »
SIALKOT SAGA, Low ROI book
Yes, I finally completed the fattest of books by ASHWIN SANGHI; THE SIALKOT SAGA. I could do that as I have a rule that defines my reading habit. ‘Once I star reading a book, I read it completely, irrespective of the fact it is interesting or not’. When you buy a book by Ashwin Sanghi,… Read More »
KARAN’s Wife- The outcast Queen. Mahabharata from Uruvi’s perspective.
I am a prime sucker for books based on mythology. Indian great treatise Mahabharata and Ramayana is a rich source of newer fictional stories as they leave much to interpretation. I enjoy ‘Mythology Without Copyright’ books and have quite a few of them. In my case it becomes easy to be confused about the characters… Read More »

Not getting into an argument- was SITA… Read More »
JAYA BY DEVDUTT PATTANAIK
There sometime comes a book that takes you by storm and impresses a lot more than expected. JAYA by DEVDUTT PATTANAIK is one such book. It is one of the MOST RECOMMENDED books in my list. Attempting to retell MAHABHARAT (originally known as Jaya ) is never easy- but his ease of narration and not… Read More »
99 Thoughts on Ganesha by Devdutt Pattanaik
Having just finished ‘BUSINESS SUTRA’ by Devdutt Pattanaik- I picked up few other books by him. Nearing ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’ – 99 thoughts on Ganesha seemed to be the right one to read. And to be honest I was disappointed in the shallowness of the whole content. Maybe I the self-acclaimed Ganesha follower failed to fins… Read More »
