It is a very unusual book, written as a letter to the Premier of China from a businessman living in Bangalore, India, telling of life in India. It sound boring but it is not; it is a good read. Aravind Adiga is the author and "The White Tiger" is the title. I know nothing about the author and I can not remember why I loaded the book on my Kindle, but I am glad I was able to read it. I know that India is doing well in the world. Recently, I have read several articles discussing the problems down the road for India. This book discusses them all, but in an interesting, humorous way, so it seems to be reading a book rather than a sermon. I am not prone to reading sermons!!
The problems for India are still with them; the caste system and poverty and corruption. They are all there in the book. It is well worth the reading.
Tomorrow we will celebrate my birthday at brunch. The golf course hosts a magnificent brunch every Sunday, so we will attend, and I be grateful for turning 72.
