Dr. Roy's Web Wisdom: Net Effect - Politics 2.0
Dr. Roy's Web Wisdom: Net Effect - Politics 2.0: "“The tweet is mightier than the blast,” may be the modern day sequel to analogous sentiments about the pen and the sword and the ballot and ..." In Dr. Suprakash Roy's opinion, Political Consciousness on the Net may be virtual.
Revisiting Best Seller and Amsterdam: Suprakash Roy's haunts
Here are some of the select locations where Dr. Suprakash Roy preferred to hold his psychoanalytic consultation sessions with friends.
"Amsterdam with all its attractions is a terribly interesting place for a psychiatrist," he justified his choice of locations by saying that he liked to see the raw human emotions - while he confessed - "I am a student of the human mind, who has his organ in the right place."

Foreword Clarion Book Review Now Available Online
The review of The Best Seller is now available on the website of ForeWord Reviews.
Click on the link to read the full review.
Rating:
The bons mots fly thick and fast through the pages of this contemporary novel, which pokes loving fun at corporate culture, techno-gadgets in daily life, romance, traditional Indian customs, geekdom, and a handful of other themes. The wonder of it all is that Sengupta keeps all the threads interwoven in a densely attractive word tapestry which is also very, very funny. Logophiles will be snickering at all the literary in-jokes as well as the pop-culture references.
.. Sengupta has delivered a finely tempered blade of a book that takes artful slices at several pretentious elements of modern life. In its scope and length, it’s reminiscent of Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, another excellent novel. The Best Seller deserves the attention to match its title.

At 681 pages, The Best Seller is certainly a hefty tome, but the book’s size should in no way intimidate the interested reader.
