'Sanity is how much we filter what we say outside' - Anuya Didi ki Jai!
You girls deserve more views and money and love! thanks and please make more of this!
Here's my list of top non fiction books this year- When crime pays by Milan vaishnav(intriguing, counter intuitive indictment of Indian electoral politics. Explains why criminals do so well in our elections). How bjp wins by Prashanth Jha (Looks at the formidable election machine that Modi and Amit Shah have built. Lessons to be drawn for anyone who is opposed to them.) Ants among elephants...by Sujatha gidla (Intimate and unsetting history of a dalit family across three generations. Examines the unfolding of Indian history through a searing dalit lense.) Age of anger by Pankaj Mishra (Seeks to examine the rise of reactionary right wing politics. Looks at the political phenomenon from the perspectiveof human frailities.) We were eight years in power by Ta Nehisi Coates (Reflections of the writer during the Obama years on the state of African American politics. The epilogue, an indictment of the Trump presidency, is a must read.)
Please invite Anand Gandhi on your show .
Hi sharin and anuya...a big thank you to both of you.. because of you guys I have started reading books... I must say I have started reading books very late but I am throughly enjoying it...one more thing why don't you guys do a session on best non fiction?
Love the videos! Picked up a lot of books based on your recommendations. Thank you.!! :)
Keep 'em coming
My 2017 was bejeweled by 4 books, wish you guys read abd comment on them- 1) Quiet by Susan Cain
2) Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Huseini
3) The Forty rules of Love by Elif Shafak
4) A man called Ove by Fredrick Backman
I feel happy and full when I think of the time I read these books. I recommend these to you guys and all other enthusiasts, hope they bring the joy of similar kind to you as well. :) Happy reading!
@19:50 Sudeip is Sudeip Nair, founder at the Hive, and married to a certain Sharin. I need my 2 tickets to nowhere right now!
Two amazing books I read this year which I'd like to mention:
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley. A magical, mythic fantasy which has a "cloud realm" and wholly original magic system.
Boy of Fire and Earth by Sami Shah: Djinns in Karachi. :)
I am definitely going to read 'Ghachar Ghochar'. Did anyone read Janice Pariat's 'The Nine Chambered Heart'? I haven't but I am surely going to pick it up soon.
Have you guys read Anand Neelakantan . Would love to hear reviews of his Ajaya series
Yay you guys are back with a good podcast!
Superb work
Ghachar Ghochar is a great book. An easy read indeed but so deep. I loved it.
Mrs C Remembers is also a book by Indian author released in 2017 which I really loved.
Hey, I just finished reading Ghachar Ghochar, and really want to discuss the ending! Anyone up for it??
Hey. I read it now !
I read it just now. Would love to discuss the end if either of you is interested.
Please, let’s discuss?! Anyone up for it?
i have tried to read rushdie but having failed to grasp his supposedly most easy read for beginners, i felt quite stupid - after! do you recommend anything? stayed far away from picking up any of his books, thereafter. have any suggestions or tips, must i abandon hope and not read him at all? perhaps i can revisit some of his stories now etc.? (i am 31!) sorry, so many doubts/questions. [fyi: the book that my editor recommended to me (that i read) was haroun and the sea of stories; this was back in 2010/11.]
Love your bookstore thing😍😗😙
I absolutely loved Remnant of a separation! And the cover is so beautiful too.
Anuya looking so pretty !😙 Sharin the ravishing lady as always..like anuya says "she looks like Madhuri"😙
You should do a compilation video of all of anuya's puns. They are Hilarious!
Nice explanation ... great job 👌👌👌
Zindagi Aais Pais by Nikhil Sachan...
Good one. In future, will you also expand into reviewing other (non-English) Indian literature?
I just found your channel and I am already in love with y'all
This is a great platform to ask this question. How many of you liked the "Memoirs of a Geisha"??
Loved it!👌
I did! I find myself thinking about the book even now, since having read it when it first came out.
Me I loved it
I completely love your discussions. I made 4 other friends of mine watch it 😄
Sharin and Anuya... it's been a while.... looking forward to more videos this year...
Manu Joseph can say all these things as he is not in the danger of being lynched( as of now). There is a reason why people who are lynched and burnt alive belong to a certain social economic status.
I am not saying I know everything, but Manu Joseph has the most absurd and weird points of view. He is the living, breathing definition of cynicsm. Clarity of thoughts is what Indians need right now. They better not get influenced by someone who likes to stir the pot just for the heck of it.
Having said that, I do like reading his books. They are good. And I am looking forward to reading Ms Laila.
cytotoxic oh my God... Thank God.. I thought I was the only one who finds Manu's views extremely incoherent and atrocious.
Loved ghachar ghochar!!
P.S. I will never look at ants the same way again.
We feel you!
BooksOnToast is my addiction! 😍😍😍
I met Aanchal Malhotra in September. She came to my college in Shimla for the partition seminar! 😄
An Indian dystopia?? Brb gonna go right now and gobble it up.
Btw did you mean the dm thing because I've read Ghachar Ghochar and would love to talk about it!
lol, there goes my resolution to stop spending so much xD
not to sound too greedy, but have the give away winner (s) been announced?
Swayamsiddha Das yaa , i was also waiting for that
Anchal Malhotra book is soo nice.. My fav
Do a segment of bengali books or some Indian books! N call Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya as your guest!! 😃
Sudeep Nair, I don't know who he is. Also, I highly recommend you both to read The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow. www.goodreads.com/book/show/206236.The_Power_of_the_Dog
Anuya is taking that Antiquity bottle ,a quarter at a time;-)
"lets talk more about fucking men!" and then you know Anuya for her puns!
Sharin, I think...I think I saw you at the Delhi airport today morning! Were you there?
Wow. Did neither of you read 'The Ministry of Utmost Happiness?
Siddharth Menath Exactly my point.
We've covered it in our Booker episode.
Oh, cool. My bad.
Haroun and the Sea of Stories :)
You both are awesome 😘
Gng to buy Leila
I am waiting for the botcast ft. Pret-i taneja
Even saif Ali Khan is reeling from that waaaow at 2.05 😄
What happened to the cat though
Invite Shahin Bhatt ( sorry if I got the spelling long)
*wrong
It's Ok to be Hindu
It's great to be Hindu. I don't know what Indians have against Hinduism. They should move out of India and move to the West and see how much whities love their Christianity.
And you people didn't like The Ministry of utmost Happiness???
ANKIT PANDEY hey i see your name pop up quite often on Roy related videos.. I am a Roy obsessive too. It's such shame they elided Ministry from this list.. Ministry was one of the best books i have read.. It's grown into a piece of my heart.. You there on Fb? I'd love to talk to you about her works and her fierce brilliance
Invite Shahrukh Khan... I heard he reads some good books
Bhartendu Vimal that would be extremely difficult
every video out of India these days is politics-centered. lol i don't mind it. #loveit
Lazy people...hihi
