Balance

They say it is good to have a balance in everything you do. Makes you well-rounded. That was not the case with me when I started reading books (which wasn't very long ago). I was an avid reader of non-fiction books. But 'Namesake' changed that.
I did attempt reading 'God of Small Things' before but it was a lil out of my league. Namesake was more for me. I could associate with it so much being an immigrant parent and being a Bengali. The name change was just a snapshot of the challenges faced by the children of immigrant parents and juggling between the two cultures. A nice light bedtime read.
