Communal Tensions in Mangalore

Diary Entry. Nothing official about it.

This year in February, I went along with my wife to a small trip to Karnataka for some stress-bustin’. Our stops included Mangalore, Udupi, Murudeshwar and Gokarna. Now the air over the past few months has turned heavier than before or so my short-term memory serves. Topics that involve Hindu-Muslim conflict have started dominating the News cycles and it is i

★★★☆☆ (but it’s complicated) The three stars I’ve given The Vegetarian don’t quite reflect how I feel about the book. To be honest, I found the title misleading. This isn’t a story about vegetarianism, and Yeong-hye’s decision to stop eating meat is a ...more

First things first, this is not the final part of the series. I don't know why the publishers are selling boxsets of this series like the story is over. The most overarching arc kind of a spoiler but not really of this series - Vishwamitra (Kaushik ...more
