amrit aur vish

I haven't read a hindi book for a long time and when I ordered amrit aur vish by amrit lal nagar, I did not have much hopes from it. I have never read any book by nagar saab and so didn't have many expectations. but boy, was i wrong? this is one amazing book, simply delicious. The story moves in 2 dimensions where in the author is one protagonist who creates characters for his novel from his acquaintances and relatives. And the hindi used is simple dialect, khadi boli, which sounded so funny initially but then started feeling so home like. I finished it in 1 week, reading it very slowly, feeling the taste of hindi on my tongue. This book also gave me an inspiration to start writing my own story. It does not matter if there is no plot or characters. Just start writing and after some time the plot will make itself apparent and once it happens, it will take a life of its own. I am going to do that and on this blog itself :-)
