Sinha is a former Professor and Head of the Department of English of the University of Pune. He continues to publish books and  articles and has given talks and written papers at several seminars and now webinars. \n\nZoom Meeting ID: 844 5653 8227             Password: BookClub\nDate: Sunday\,  (postponed ) 23 May 2021 | Time: 06.30 PM (IST)\nContact us at:  Facebook: gyaanadab  |  www.gyaanadab.org | +91 98230 10962 \n\n

SUMMARY:The White Tiger  by  Aravind Adiga
DESCRIPTION:The White Tiger  by  Aravind Adiga\nAbout the Novel:\nThe story of Balram Halwai\, born in Gaya in Bihar\, is the story of the white tiger- an animal that arrives once in a generation.

This debut novel won the Man Booker prize in 2008 and was made into a film for Netflix in 2021. \nAbout the Author\nBorn in Chennai\, Aravind Adiga began his career as a financial journalist\, interning at the Financial Times and then went onto work for Time magazine.

SUMMARY:Jane Eyre  written by  Charlotte Brontë
DESCRIPTION:  \nJane Eyre\nwritten by  Charlotte Brontë    \n  \n \nABOUT THE BOOK :    Jane Eyre is considered one of the most famous romance novels of all time.

It explores late twentieth-century society as deftly as it does universal human relationships. Called a tragicomedy by some critics\, it is a witty\, biting\, yet ultimately sincere commentary on what drives people. The heart of the play can be summed up in a few sentences that Louisa Kittredge directs at the audience: “I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation. . . . It’s a profound thought. . . . How every person is a new door\, opening up into other worlds.” The play was made into a movie starring Will Smith in 1993. \nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nAhmed Karim\, by profession\, is an organizational development consultant. He has an abiding interest in human  identity and this is the undertow of his love for a variety of subjects and fields such as Literature\, among others.\nExcerpts from the play will be read by Mohini Khot\, John Kurrien and Ahmed Karim. \nDate: Sunday\, 10 Jan  2021 | Time: 06.30 PM (IST)
