Just read an article (in The Hindu) about the genius Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan about whom a movie is being made.

Before the article starts it says "Seven cities fought for Homer dead, Through which, Homer living, begged his bread"...

It indicates to the harsh treatment some brilliant geniuses received while they were alive and honoured once they were no more.

Secret of the Nagas

It’s true that Amish’s book compels its reader to pick the next book from his trilogy as one completes reading the present book. He unveils the deepest and darkest secrets of his characters yet withholding an important element from the story only to be revealed in his next series.

I wouldn’t say I liked his Immortals of the Meluha thoroughly but it’s quite a good read.
His second book of the Shiva Trilogy-The Secret of the Nagas, starts with a dull note though it takes new twists and turns in the second half. It is, thus, fast paced than the first half and keeps the reader glued to it.

Unfortunately, I have not laid my hands on ‘Oath of the Vayuputras’ which I intend to do very soon.
