Completed Two Lives of Vikram Seth. In the mid, even though it was a bit dragging, I liked it. Especially the ending – the flashback. It has the touch of a movie – a movie’s dream ending. In fact, I think Two Lives has a story line that can be scripted into a movie or a serial - an 'art' movie/serial... of course.
Another aspect of the book is that it makes you think about various things that happened in the 20th Century. It also makes you think about old age - yours and your parents.
Here are some of the notable quotes of the book.
Shanti: God created man, but he was lonely, and then he created woman. From that time neither has God been happy nor man...
Fred: There is no purpose of war. It is foolish. You have to sign papers at the end, so why not before.
