'
Once Upon' is always a most likable story telling style. However it is keeping the 'story line' on the track that generates reader's interest to read the book instead of simply browsing through its pages.
Rishi Vohra the author of the novel "Once Upon the Tracks of Mumbai" holds a Masters Diploma in Environmental Law. He has recently re-located to Mumbai after completing a Green MBA from San Francisco State University. He is also a certified specialist of Wine. This is his first novel
When I saw the typical Bollywood Poster style cover of the Book "Once Upon the Tracks of Mumbai", it never gave that grab and read kind of feeling. Perhaps it is this reason that saw me putting off the review for so long.. Well now that I have read through its pages all 266 of them I do feel it did draw me in like the sparkling wine. With all the right con cotes this novel has all the winning streaks for a Bollywood adoption. specially at a time when Bollywood is desperately moving in for re-makes for their grandeur survival.
The story line of "Once Upon the Tracks of Mumbai' revolves round four main characters Babloo,Vandana, Sikander and Raghu and is based out of typical life style of an average Mumbaite The story line may not be gripping, yet the book does retain the readers interest though at times it does become hard for the reader to believe the traits of an Autistic personality as portrayed in the book. Incidentally it is this Autistic personality who shoulders the responsibility of carrying the story to its logical Bollywood style ending. This novel succeeds in keeping the story line on the track that generates reader's interest to read the book instead of simply browsing through its pages...
"Once Upon the Tracks of Mumbai" though may be a one time read ,it surely is a good read.
This book is published by JAICO books. The book is a creditable achievement and my hearty Congratulations to the author Rishi Vohra .
