U've got a mail Mr white tiger

Good Evening Mr.White Tiger,

All you must right away know from me is you ought to be privileged enough receiving this note since I don't write back to every author whose book I read. And as a matter of fact I haven't completed most of the books that I began reading especially books written by, one Ms Roy & another by Ms Sai which are still lying in my bookshelf with bookmarks on some unable-to-proceed pages, if you like me to draw some parallel comparisons. But that was not the case with your book Mr. WT. Reading 30 pages everyday for 10 roller coaster days were like gulping down tequila-shot-after-shot each day from a fully refrigerated bottle. Apart from your book, the three other books whose last page felt my hands on them until now were the ones written by our IIT-IIM author. Thought you would just like to know.

Now that you won the Man Booker prize, your book would sell in millions and you would already be counting money in zillions. Still having been impressed by your unique style of writing I would suggest all my friends to read this book, which might add few millionths to your existing zillions.And I promise I shall not claim any share from those zillions. You can have them all for yourself.

The next sets of things you ought to know from me are these.Since I received few hints in the beginning that the book is going to throw some light on entrepreneurship I read each page with some anticipation to receive useful pointers on the same. But all I had was disappointment since I had nothing to take away from your story as a useful tip, just in case I start something on my own someday. As one of the true reader of your first book I believe I have all the right to say this to you Mr. WT. However you justify, the path you took to become a successful entrepreneur is just not appreciable Mr. WT.I am still ok for not getting useful pointers from your story. But I must admit, I was hooked to your newly invented style of writing throughout the whole book which was just awesome. As a personal attempt, thought would try my hand in your style by writing this small note to you.

Precisely, honestly & most importantly, boldly at the same time innocently the way you have portrayed the inauthentic India to the whole world receives a big round of applause especially from people who see the same India as you did for holding torch on their lives through your book but I am afraid to say that you made a small mistake Mr. WT by writing it in a language which most of them unlike you and me cannot even comprehend, just in case if I was ready to read out to them. But you don't have to worry about it Mr. WT. I already narrated this story written by you to my maid and she did appreciate you for your work on this book.She will do her best to spread this by word of mouth, a very powerful medium even these days, she feels.

One thing which left me little lurched was, being a chauffeur you called yourself a technology driver. If you want to be called that way, all I know for sure is how bad the young women sitting two cubicles away from my desk in the office who works exclusively on windows driver technology would feel. But then for a good job done by you I think I should be able to handle her just in case she shares her feelings on this.

Now that you are in the limelight, you would be receiving millions of accolades and may be few millionths of brickbats from across the world. I don't expect you to be reading my note for long since it's time for you to be basking in your own glory of success. Btw even if you hadn't noticed I truly acknowledge this newly acquired writing style is inherited from you. I just have one last thing to say to you Mr. WT which I know will make you happy for sure.When I happen to reach the end of this book, the subtly sleeping tigress in me awakened with a budding spirit of entrepreneurship through many powerful sentences of yours. The credit goes to you Mr. WT. And my many thanks to you for this.Alright, will write to you someday when I become a full fledged white tigress, truly licensed to celebrate the spirit of Entrepreneurship.Until then

with your ferocious blessings
