Description
A mysterious ailment afflicts Indrah, reducing the omnipotent king of the gods to, well, not quite the man he used to be. To add to his woes, the Holy Trinity threaten to fire him for dereliction of duty. But Indrah s troubles wilt in comparison to those of his asura counterpart, Bali, ruler of Tripura. Even as Indrah's its fretting over his delicate health, an assassination attempt on Bali leaves the asura on the brink of death. There is only one thing that can save both these men from certain doom: amrit, the mythical nectar. But to secure it, the gods and the asuras will have to cooperate and churn the Ocean of Milk together... Will Indrah and Bali be able to put aside their ancient enmity, or will old rivalries keep them from pulling off this epic feat? Bali and the Ocean of Milk reimagines the eternal conflict between the gods and the asuras in a whacky thriller littered with bad jokes and corpses.

This book is a great read. It reminded me of famous political satires, and parodies of such great writers as George Orwell (1984) and Jonathan Swift (Gulliver's Travels). While the comedy is almost Wodehousean! The novel describes, with intricacy, the plots, sub-plots, treachery, the subversion and the intrigue in the royal palace, in the eternal struggle between the good and the evil. The caricatures of the various gods of the Hindu pantheon will certainly upset the orthodox and the religious, but none the less, these godly creatures do exactly what is expected of them from the scriptures!I highly recommend this book to people who are aware of the Hindu Mythology. For people unaware, it might be a hard plot to follow, in spite of its simplicity. Those, who saw and felt "Mahabharata" by Peter Brooks and felt it was blasphemous, may like to stay away from this book. Other than those few caveats, I recommend this book very strongly.
