Every cloud has a silver lining!

I knew this proverb from childhood but got to experience it last week. I am a diehard fan of Sidney Sheldon and why not? His writing is magnificent. I was mad at completing his series of novels.
For a break I asked for an Indian writer’s work last week and somebody suggested Chetan Bhagat. I had seen the book at Big Bazaar but didn’t want to buy it (same Sidney Sheldon ghost over me). I brought the book from my library and started reading it halfheartedly. By the end of the suicide letter the book started becoming interesting. I completed reading it on Saturday. It was a good read. At the end of the book I was wondering if the characters were real and still stayed in Ahmadabad. I would definitely like to meet them, especially Ali………………miracle batsman! I am not a cricket fan but I would definitely want India to win ever match.
I definitely feel sorry for underestimating the other authors but my experience when I first tried to switch author was terrible. I had read ‘Pet Symmetry ‘and I did not sleep for two nights! Maybe I was the wrong-reader. Three-fourth of the book was a slow read and the rest went like a hurricane. Anyways there are fans to this author too.
But no harm in trying new things. After all only “Change is permanent”
