ok.. you might.. just might have guessed from the title.. i just finished reading 'mistress of spices'. to be honest i took the book only because of the hype surrounding the film.. so i began reading it with no expectations in my mind. and to my suprise i realise that i really like the book! the way the spices have been described.. the stories.. the cliches.. whatever.. maybe old wine in a new bottle.. but its a damn cool bottle at that. i loved the book. and now am dreading to watch the film.. considering the way it has been ripped to shreds. and for those who didnt know the woman in the book is old. not a bloody miss world winner. somewhere down the line i think in ambitious production and publicity/ promotion the esssence of the book has been lost. especailly cause at the end of the book the old woman regains a bit of her former beauty(external only;)..
towards the end of the book i felt really indignant on behalf of tilo.. someone who has given to others all her life.. for once she wants something back and the spices donot want to give.. or they give with the idea of temptation in mind.. the ending wasnt too much of a surprise.. but i liked the book.

comment moderation..becus of that crap mr.anonymous??
@ms.rebellious:haha....the messenger gods!!...lets pray to them...:)

honestly ....i have no clue bout the book but heard about the movie.and i decided not to see it.i hate aishwarya rai.shes too plasticky.too tryin-to-be-perfect.and i hate that.
about the story...from what ur sayin...looks like she dosent get what she deserves.well thats the problem in givin too much to others.u expect them to reciprocate.
but they dont.
and even if they do,it almost never happens as u wanted it.in the right measure.
lifes never fair.it never will be.
what it gives to you...it takes from others.and vice versa.sounding pessimistic but think its as simple as that.
@jyoey: yes crap mr. anonymous has zero life.. and is therefore eating mine.. u read the book?? or seen the film?
@ sreicanth: yea she sucks. i cant take her movies or her fake laughter.. i hate it when people can tgive genuine smiles.. (like when it dosent reach their eyes..) yuck.
and the thing about expecting.. in the book she chooses to be a mistress of spices.. so technically she knew what she was getting into..
