It was a decent read, and was able to deliver a lot of thoughts and perspectives within it's few pages.

It did continue with the pattern I have observed with other fiction novels from Indian authors I have read. That is it managed to make me uncomfortable because our main guy was deeply flawed, and seeing society, relations and women in general with his often creepy or shallow perspective 'scared' me to say the least. It gave me an honest insight to the way a plethora of men in my country think, corroding my fantasies I gathered as a teen when I used to read all those romance novels.

Funnily, I found myself seen in the women the narrator hates or feels are 'too much' for him and his way of living. But I hope reading my review, one does not entertain the idea for the slightest of seconds that the author himself supports the views of his narrator in this story, as via small but significant subtleties in actions or thoughts he managed to call out the prejudices his characters portrayed, which was always fun to look out for.

Lastly, I remember I picked up this book solely because of the title, intrigued by how little light it sheds on its plot. And after having read the book, I'd say this book truly was all Ghachar Ghochar.
