The other day I was reading Ruskin Bond’s “Notes From A Small Room” (a collection of his writings, taken from his diary and notebooks, up till a few years ago) and came across the name of one of his shorter pieces titled, “Catch a Moonbeam” – that has not been published before. Though I haven’t yet finished reading the book, yet needless to say that I enjoy his writings immensely. He is one of my all time favourite authors.

When a Lawyer Falls in Love – this interestingly titled book is the debut offering of Amrita Suresh, who had decided she wanted to be a novelist while she was still a bespectacled twelve-year-old, and finally managed to pen this one as a bespectacled twenty-two-year-old. So all credit must go to those spectacles, I presume.
It makes for a nice breezy read … and nowhere does it in any way suggest that a lawyer (including one in the making) should not succumb to the matters of the heart. So…
Amitabh Manu is a first time author and his maiden offering is “The Blogging Affair”. He however prefers to write under the name Manu and has carefully dropped Amitabh in the process. Perhaps he is no fan of millionaire-making game shows and/or big and small bees. So much for honey and money!

The book feels good to hold and I don’t really recollect any editing errors; so…
