“On the first day, he is not unduly perturbed, the taste of yesterday’s fish curry is still fresh, on the second day the memory persists-but only just.
On third day, no sooner is the idol of Lord Ganesh given a ceremonial immersion than he’s back to where he belongs – in the fish market, making up for the lost time.”
-from the book ‘Mango Mood’
The most common problem with reader is that he used to get addicted to a particular mood. Though there may be different kind of claims by author or publishers or readers of a book or author but the central theme of most of the books is generally one. Love or affection, technology or science, horror, conspiracy, corruption or any other the central theme moves around the one theme whether author does it unconsciously or deliberately.
Bringing out different shades and colours of life and society in a book through writing requires serious observation and presentation skill. When the book comes as a collection of writings the reading becomes more interesting. ‘Mango Mood’ is one of the books falls in this category.
Though the book heavily talks about Goan culture and society but despite it the writings presents different shades of Indian mindset. From fish curry to Ganesh Chaturthi, Wagle ki Dunia to modern politics, Bapu to Las Vegas, common family and social issues… author tried to talk about everything though in a lighter vein.
