@SkyinMA @ava @netflix I read that book on a bus going across southern India. It’s one of the best novels ever. I didn’t know Ava adapted it but I’m excited. – fuente2021-01-22T15:28:06.000Z

Just watched The White Tiger on #Netflix. Had read the book of #Aravind #Adiga it is based on back in 2008 when it came out. Wonderful book, and wonderful movie. “You have spent years looking for the key, but the door was always open”. Strongly recommended. – fuente
