Just got a parcel of India after Gandhi from Flipkart as a gift by Kailash. I had put it on my wishlist a couple days ago and Kailash promptly made a purchase for me.
Here I am with an about-900-page nonfiction book, and I am overwhelmed with two exactly opposite feelings at the same time. I want to devour it all in a go, and at the same time, I want to imbibe myself into it dip by dip.
This would be the straight third book revolving around the same subject that I would read after India wins Freedom by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Freedom at Midnight by Collins and Lapierre.
Got the book, felt it all over, read the front and back pages, preface, reviews, even copyright page, and everything that I can do before actually starting it—and still feeling its brand new smell! Oh, I can’t thank Kailash enough! Oh, I can’t wait more to finally read it!
See you soon!
P.S. Just in case if want to read my previous posts about books.

I look forward for a review from myself too. I missed it with the previous two books! I must keep things in tune to come up with a review.
