aravind adiga wins the booker prize for his novel the white tiger. good to know that he has dedicated the novel to a city - delhi.
he was interviewed immediately after rceiving the prize and i liked what he said ...
'...it still is a fact that for most of the poor people in India, there only two ways to go up, which is through crime or through politics. which can be variant of crime...'
i plan to read his book next year - already have a backlog of 11 unread books :-(

VT - take my word for it...screw the 11 book backlog and read The White Tiger. I finished it a couple weeks ago and it is absolutely fantastic (which you obviously already know, given that it just won the Booker).
But honestly, it's dark, it's witty, it's full of life and it's brilliant.
11 books back log.stopped counting how many books ive ever tried to read nd then dcided they were not good for my mental health.btw thanks 4 ur compliment ya.
