Pralay by Vineet Bajpai

Pralay….

You know that nagging feeling you get when you know that with so many stories and sub plots going around there will not be space for conclusion!….and then your biggest fear is realized….. Those three words which can put shiver to anyone’s spine or make you pale like never before!…

No those words are not I Love you!….this is much more personal and makes more noise and reaches the dark spaces of your brain and heart!!… didn’t you get it??….

The words are…..TO BE CONTINUED!…..

So that’s the the big surprise in the book and once that’s done with you can happily either read this one now or wait for the final book and read together!…the same with Amish Tripathi and his Rama series but rest assured it is not as frustrating as waiting for Jeff Archers Clifton Chronicles series!!..

So Taking off where the first one started, this one’s ups the ante to more Gore and more revelations and more killing!!….to spend three hundred pages to just reach where the first book was already there is quite an ardent task indeed!…..but once you get the flow you are hooked even though it may seem silly!!…it’s like you want the Game of Thrones to come soon and then you can’t wait for it to end!….

Frankly though the author has taken a leaf Outta Ashwin Sanghi’s books and made it of a different time altogether!….it’s cool that we have so much material to work with!…our history is a virtual goldmine for authors like Dan Brown and co!…

So read at your leisure and get the parallels to the things which you already know; be it some mantra or some ritual or some Avatar!….Vineet has the story filled to the brim with these and then some!..

Good effort and frankly a good refresher for me!….go for it!….the simple language with some interspersed sanskrit and Hindi words will flow like butter and you can finish this one in a couple of hours like me!!….
