The Motor hospital is in serious need of help. Standing Bright blue on Hazra Road, it has been a very helpful landmark for years. Hope it does not give way to a multi-storied. Soon. The road will be so much less interesting.

Review: The Labyrinth of Osiris
Just finished reading Paul Sussman's The Labyrinth of Osiris.
Superbly entertaining. Like a Bollywood Blockbuster. It has all the elements in it: Exotic Locations - Luxor, Tel Aviv, Negev Desert etc; Big Bad Villains (american giant corporation), action aplenty, thrills, comedy (well more humour), women mostly in supporting roles and grieving on the sideliness, not one but two heroes ala Karan-Arjun or more like Jai-Veeru which ofcourse leads me to tragedy ... but saying anymore will be giving away the plot.
And infinitely entertaining, engrossing - all 500 plus pages of it.
Mr. Sussman, I find has written more books and so I will be reading them. But in reverse order since I have read his latest, first. It is also his last. He passed away shortly afterwards. RIP Paul Sussman.
