A FINE BALANCE
Rohinton Mistry


O call me and I
Will quench your thirst for water.
But who on earth,can grant
My parched eyes' desire?



Will definitely go in as one of the best books i've read!!Based on how people suffered during the emergency period,the author brings out the suffering in the eyes of these 4 characters-Ishvar,Om,Dina and Maneck.The book is slow in the beginning but gets very interesting through the novel.The story setup leading to the future of the characters is pretty unbelievable!! You'll read this book and realise how dramatic a book can get and the characters still in my mind i ask only one question while retrospecting every single event in this book.... "What If??"
