Review: Main Pakistan Mein Bharat Ka Jasoos Tha

Main Pakistan Mein Bharat Ka Jasoos Tha by Mohanlal Bhaskar
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

This book by Mohanlal Bhaskar , an Indian spy, is about his days in Pakistan and in it's jails. and he was one of the few spys who was well educated and probably because of that he got a better treatment in the Pakistani jails. which also made sure that he could safely return back to India.

The most interesting part of the book , which I liked most, was his discussion with a Pakistani sub Inspector Raja Gul Anar Khan. where he explains the hatred of Pakistanis towards Indians and to him how his family generations back converted to Islam due to force and how their Hindu relatives boycotted them. I think that those reasons were true and even today hinduism doesn't have any mechanism to take back it's own people back. any way, this book is about a spy's life in Pakistan and how they would collect information from there and send it back to India.

The only thing I could understand from this book is that people in Pakistan and India suffer from similar bureaucratic system even today. India is a far more better because it never went into the hands of the army the way it happened in Pakistan frequently and that as per the author of this book is highly corrupt and killed it's own citizens in Pakistan mercilessly.

This book also gives idea about the life of an average Pakistani in 60s and 70s.

I liked this book a lot and I rate it 4/5.

Review: Paper Towns

Paper Towns by John Green
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I have mixed feelings about this book . The story of the book is OK , first part is also pacy and it kept me glued. But the second part dragged and in third part is hazy.

Margo and Quentin are childhood friends and towards the end the high school Margo plans an adventure with Quentin to take revenge from the her classmates who had hurt her at some point of time in the school specially her boyfriend Jase. And after that Margo disappears. now the second part of the book is all about putting together all the clues Margo left behind to find her current location by Quentin and his friends. (view spoiler)[The third part of the book is about how Quentin and his friends reach Margo. (hide spoiler)].

Over all I rate this 2/5.
