Bankerupt - Ravi Subramanian


When stories of migrants and Gun control; in India and US with their aftereffects on society run in parallel, how can we keep the book aside and get some sleep? This was 31 of 2020. Started on Saturday completed on Sunday...This has become a trend with books by Ravi Subramanian and am enjoying them. At the end of every book wonder is it real or fiction?



With guncrime becoming Comman in US, pro and anti gun lobbies are fighting a pitched battle. Cirisha Narayanan ambitiouses young woman with integrity is working feverishly shuttling with her career in MIT and research project in India. He father develops an interest to deal with Emu in Coimbatore, and to facilitate trade meets the investment banker Adi. In due course they become family. While Cirisha is busy building her career, Adi falls prey to hoax that plays out in the skyscrapers, markets and slums of Mumbai.

Cirisha stumbles upon a secret which change their life for ever. She gets involved in some sleuthing, on 'Staring down the barrel' by James Deahl and believe data for research was fabricated. How much of Richard did she know? Was it right of her trusting her mentor Michael Cardoza?

Some interesting discussions are Adi telling Shivinder what are auditors for? To write what we want them to. Lucifer telling James it's criminal to have a team which always dreams of personal glory, desperate for success. When aspirations are not in sync, it leads to trouble.

Gun incidents reignite the debate on gun rights vs. gun control. Nothing change. The game continue with different players.
