Toe Knee Unplugged

A plug for my short story ebook - feedback welcome

There comes a time in every couple's life when the husband and wife, especially if unceremoniously yoked together in 24/7 proximity due to a COVID-19 pandemic, can no longer tolerate perceived slights by their happily-ever-after partner. This includes hogging the bathroom to take Instagram selfies.

My short story ebook "For fitter, for fatter" is free to download on any Android/iOS device or phone until March 10 and always free on Kindle Unlimited.

If you like it, tell your friends. Grateful for any ratings and reviews on the Amazon website.

Four years after feisty Tanu (Ranaut) hitched up with the imperturbable Manu (Madhavan), there's trouble in paradise. The seven-year itch comes prematurely for a couple constantly at each other's throats. Long story short, they separate in London and fly back to India. The seemingly alcoholic Tanu heads to her hometown Kanpur, getting chatty with her former lovers while Manu picks up the pieces of his broken heart in New Delhi. My review.

Manu Joseph's "The Illicit Happiness of Other People"

I’d heard so much about Manu Joseph’s comic prowess that the unexpectedly dark “The Illicit Happiness of Other People” (2012) came as a surprise. No, I haven’t read his debut novel yet but his second work of fiction is best described as a philosophical potboiler. Why does 17-year-old Unni, the charismatic son of a UNI journalist in Chennai, jump to his death? It’s a riddle his alcoholic father would have to solve by questioning Unni’s classmates, a nun who has taken a vow of silence, and a corpse among others. Add to the mix a woman who talks to walls and a young boy who knows what Pele’s real name is. Manu Joseph uses his characters well to present a pacy whodunit -- or rather, whydunit -- that is worth your time.

The Sariska Tiger Camp was comfortable but I couldn't sleep at night, thanks to a diligent colleague who shook me awake whenever I started snoring.

What? Andy Murray trying to win his fourth Australian Open tennis title? Well, he hasn’t won there even once. This tennis howler was in Friday’s edition of the Economic Times.
