Warning:Ai you! If you are NOT crazy lover of Rajnikath, America, films and cricket, this review is not for you. If you are not Tamil and are still reading and laughing, then you must be C by 2
Yes, the book Bala takes a plunge is all about the Tamil obsessions – Rajnikant, films, America and marriage.
B Balasubramaniam dreams of directing a film where Rajnikant will be the hero, but alas! Without the cash rich pocket of his parents who are a very middle-class Tamilian family, he is forced to fulfil the second Tamilian obsession – go away to America. In fact that is what he does and becomes a Director of a different sort - Director of Design at FlexIt Inc, His parents dream of seeing their son in America is fulfilled and now they can brag around to everyone, how their son Bala is earning 3 lakh rupees a month!!
Dags!! Hahaha!

Ashish,
Wonder how you manage to keep "shadowing" my writings LOL!
Julia,
Ever since I came across 'Aunt Julia and Script writer' by the latest literary super star
( Mario Vergas Llosa), my inner core wants to address you by your first name.
Hope, you won't feel offended.
Interestingly, 'Bala takes the plunge' reminds me of 'Inscrutable Americans' by Anurag Mathur!
Regards,
yours,
ashish
Sridhara,

Hi Julia,

Hi Jai,

Usha,
Ahhh PGW is quite another matter. Wry English humour is not really like Indian Tamilian brand humour but really MD is worth it!
Enjoy!
Julia
