long back ,in 2008 I was probably 0 book old that time, and then did I come across 'arivind adiga', a young, man with a little bald head and the remaining shaved off, to cover baldness, he was all around, in the media, newspapers for winning the man Booker prize award ,I didn't even know what that was
after so long time, just few days ago i borrowed it from my friend , and she just told me that it was about politics or of that kind. ohhhh...I really annoyed it , and started the book reluctantly......
INTRODUCTION
OH MY GOD !!....the book is damn cool thank god that I had borrowed this book, I wished for myself ,It sounded very bold, something out of the box
I think the author is an ardent follower of osho , because the book has his Midas touch
frequently, he talks about, the gods and deities, and says that he is very lazy to kiss all the 3,60,000...arses of the gods( 3,6, 0000 Hindu gods, 3 christian gods and 1 Muslim god )....so , he choose to be an atheist
* The one ingredient left me fascinated was, throughout the book he says about 4 Sufi poets, from whom one of them is IQUBAL , I don't remember the other two names and the fourth, the author himself doesn't remember
the quote given by iqubal is witty:you always go on searching for the key, but the door is always open .
.
* there is something for all upcoming young trailblazers
The he here refers to the character created by adiga ,which indirectly show Adiga

* he actually wishes to become an entrepreneur and confesses some tips
* the basic prerogative of an entrepreneur is to make the bad news into the good one's * an entrepreneur should be walking on both dualities
* his sense of humour makes one crazy, and the way he describes things is marvelous. And went crazy, the way he describes his missing poster (care to notice it)
*I liked the way he describes a goat's pee to the stars in sky .. * he is a great critic too, and obviously he was into mocking at India, but the style with which he mocked was cool( please don't get offended).
PLOT
The story is about a boy who is from a village near gaya(orissa), whos father is a rikshaw driver, obviously a very poor family, and they don't allow him to study even he gets a good opportunity, but still he is brave enough to face it, and he doesn't lose his hope of becoming an entrepreneur, as days pass, he enters the town, learns driving, and works as a driver for a rich family
Here comes the twist in the story which actually makes you crazy , and you feel like abusing the author, for leaving you ambivalent , then finally our hero is a rich well settled entrepreneur in banguluru .
THE TITLE
The title white tiger is actually given because when he was studying his primary grade , an inspector comes to his school and finds him unique in the whole class, and so he calls him "the white tiger " , which is unique in the jungle , whose happening is a rare phenomenon and so, white tiger is something one need to imbibe into one's life. I am proud that i am a white tiger .
* an other thing I skipped is " the hero's vision , he wanted to start a school, where he would educate the poor children of begaluru, make all of them white tigers, not teaching them about 3,60,000 arses of gods, not teaching them about Gandhi, but teaching them the real things in life
* he also explains that he is tied up in a Rooster coop ( his family , especially his granny ) .....who doesn't let him have freedom , have individuality, he says he is actually a white tiger put in a cage ( the cage is his granny )
I need to confess to my friend, due of the adrenaline boosting literature I came across in the book,I couldn't resist myself underlining and marking few sentences in the book .
Arvind adiga is amazing , I some how want to kiss his arse one day...............................
