Status Updates From موت فيشنو

The writing style is pretty lush and readable.

I like this a lot

I usually get through books that o
am not enjoying but i figured why waste time when there are so many books to read? I had to put this one down. Not proud of that.

It’s all about the people that lives around vishnu. The way his conditions affects the people is mesmerising at the same time a bit thought provoking. It makes me think that what impact will I have on the people around me if I’m in a similar situation like vishnu.

So far I am trying to keep an open mind about it. I’m in the middle of figuring out which genres I am into. So far I am the husbands in building made a truce to call an ambulance for Vinshu. So far the families treat their hired staff horrible and never consider that they had lives before working with them.

When will he die I’m getting confused

Not sure how I feel about vishu

I like how everyone’s connected

Good

“Fortunate are those who recognize my presence. Blessed are those who acknowledge me, worship me. Tell them down there to recognize me for who I am. I can wait only so long. Before it is too late, too late for all. For I have come to save and destroy the universe.”

Excerpt From
The Death of Vishnu
Manil Suri

Guys I opened the book today and gasped because I hadn't realized I was already three-fourths of the way through. I am shook. I haven't got this immersed in a book since 9th grade, love this for me, y'all. XD




NOTES FROM

The Death of Vishnu

Manil Suri

“rigors of sobriety.”

“He wished someone would invent an umbrella that would ward off the rays of misfortune he could feel raining down upon him on such days. His baldness made him feel extra-vulnerable —he could not even count on a layer of hair to protect him.”

“It’s never dark on the night Lakshmi is around,…”

Wow. Wildly written visions. Drama, interpersonal conflict. Young love and lust. What a tale.

So many adverbs. So many!

I’ll admit I’ve struggled to get really into this one, since the plot has been slow going. But it’s picking up now—has been since at least the halfway point, really—and I’m feeling really invested in all the characters. I will miss them when I finish.

Fun read so far, and the dynamics between the ladies and their attitude towards Vishnu is authentically Indian, hilarious and yet so sad.

REad for Gibbes Art Gallery book discussion.

It took me a while to finish reading this book due to personal reasons, but I loved it!

OMG! I've been trying to finish this book for over 2 years! Only a few short pages to go......

I was kind of under the impression that this would be a kind of apocalyptic SF story, but by no means! It's about Vishnu, the sort of errand guy who sleeps on the landing in an apartment building. He's dying, and as he lies there, we get to know the residents floor by floor. Vishnu sort of ascends through the levels, but that's not too clear yet.

Interesting beginning. Very misleading title. Nothing related to Gods or mythology. Current scenario depicts the inner minds of super pretentious kitty party ladies! Jealous neighborhood fights.

"Being a Rajput, Arjun was bound by his mother’s words, words that once spoken could not be retracted." #real

The story was entertaining at some points but most of it was like a huge gossip. Most of the characters lacked personality and the end was quite plain, can't say I hated it, but I didn't enjoy it much.

starting to get really interseting!

A new read. A new author.

Struggling to finish it!

am having serious deja vu about this book. I'm pretty sure I've read it before...

This book is amazing. Quiet and forceful look at class and daily life in India. Kind of hate to finish it.

The Death Of Vishnu

I am taking a break from this due to time constraints.
