Author
Rishi Piparaiya is an over-worked and over-traveled corporate
executive based in the skies, 38,000 over India.
Characters
The
author himself… You… Me and all of us!
I
am not joking… Really!
What I think
Firstly,
the book blurb is catchy. It arouses curiosity. The suaveness of the cover page
further adds to the anticipation. It is sensual while the sub-title - Swaying hips, praying lips and flying tips –
is rhyming and welcoming! In short, one look is enough for anyone to pick the book
and stretch their legs for a read.
What
matters is what awaits moving forward… The book is thoughtfully bifurcated into
different chapters; the chapter heads are equally interesting. And the beauty
is the book turns out to be everything it promises. It meets all our
expectations and startles us with its out-of-the-world witty and catchy
narrative style.
Outcome?
Your stomach churns because you have laughed aloud a lot. Your parents pray to
God that no evil spirits have cussed on you. Whereas, you fervently laugh more.
No.
This is not an overstatement. The beauty of this book is that it will appeal to
all. Frequent air-travelers… Those who have flew very few times… And the rest
of the chunk who wich they had flied and hope optimistically that they fly
someday.
This
book is all about airplanes… From the moment you see the airport to the moment
you drive off the airport from your destination. The author has emphasized on
almost every aspects that the book become addictive. It is simply
un-put-down-able!
The
book can be finished in one go and in no time you will be left wondering how
time fluttered so easily and rapidly.
The
book is a joyride… In the air… Midst of clouds… Swaying hips… Praying lips!
Oh!
I am seriously in love with this book!
But...
This
book can be addictive and obsessive.
BEWARE!
Should you read it?
Doubtlessly…
The
book is awesome. It gives us everything that it promises.
So
don’t miss it!
And
enjoy the joy ride!

The
book stole my heart!
Thank you
Jaico publications for giving away such a
wonderful book!
Some words that stole my heart
(I liked each sentence. Yet
compiling three of them so that you know what you can expect!)
Q And
unless you are a sunflower or vitamin D deprived, I assume you would like to
avoid sunlight streaming on your face at 38,000 feet
Q I
have a 9 to 5 job – 9am to 5am.
Q Let
the only things higher than the airplanes in the sky, be the stories that I tell
to others and the castles that I build for myself.
