Society – Mehernosh Kapadia
Dear Friend,

Please let me have your feedback after reading it.
Warm regards
mehernosh kapadia
A drug addict, Dalit prostitute is accused of murder of the only son of a powerful politician, who is hoping to become the next prime minister. A most successful lawyer in Mumbai is appointed to defend the dalit prostitute. He believes in justice but is his belief strong enough to withstand the loss of everything he holds dear – his highly paid job, his rich lifestyle, his family ?
- The political letter in the novel could not have been better written – Ashish Oza – Journalist
- When you read this novel, you realize how much our Society has degenerated – Jasbir Makin – Human Rights Activist
- Mehernosh’s Writing brings to light the class differentiation : something which we shut our eyes to and pretend it does not exist – KK – Social Worker

I read novel SOCIETY written by Mr. Mehernosh Kapadia.
To be honest I bought the book only to encourage a Parsee brother , but let me tell you it is better than any other author i have read in last 20 years. Just too good, excellent
Cheers
Thankyou very much for your kind words.

unbelieveably excellent
Thankyou very much for your kind words
a new author is born in our community
Mehernosh Kapadia with his novel Society
Excellently written.
All community members should back a man like this , all Parsee papers should give him exposure and the Parsee Panchayat honour him
excellent
Geart work brother keep it up
Let us know when ever you write the next novel , which i am sure
Thankyou very much for your kind words.
I intend to bring out my next novel by May this year.
I will certainly keep all you wellwishers posted.
Thanks again.
In my part of India where i live there are hardly any Parsees, so when i saw a novel written by a Parsee i picked it up—Society by Mehernosh Kapadia
He has really captured the Society as it is today , it depresses me as a youngster that this is what society is today. But i must say his writting is excellent. as good as Dan Brown’s -Da Vinci Code
Thankyou very much for your kind words.
Dont let anything in life depress you.
Be Positive and trust God

Dear Friends,
I came across a novel SOCIETY written by a one of our Parsi brothers Mehernosh Kapadia.
The novel is very well written.
It is fast paced and deals with what our SOCIETY is today.
The novel has emotion, action and reflection.
Many people have appreciated the book from all walks of life, which you can see from the comments they have given on the back cover of the book which is attached.
Once you start reading the novel you will not want to put it down. Happy reading to all.
Ms. I Karanjia
Mehernosh’s first book ‘Society’ is difficult to describe- in one word it is ‘UNPUTDOWNABLE’
-A brilliant first effort, it is racy, well written and keeps the reader engaged from the first page to the last-a thought provoking novel about the inequality of society, the downtroddenness & humiliation of the backward classes and Dalits and a reflection of the general degradation of our times
– A must read for all lawyers- the hero, N. Dev, a ‘Utopian’ lawyer is simply a hearthrob
– Great work Mehernosh-A bollywood blockbuster is in the making! Looking forward to your 2nd, 3rd and other novels!!
A very big thank you Aban
My next novel hopefully will be released in May 2010
I truely enthralling novel SOCIETY by Mehernosh Kapadia.
He has understood the Indian political and social structure exceptionally well.
Nothing better to read than this novel in the market.
Thanks KK
Thanks I Karanjia for your kind appreciation
Folks I picked up SOCIETY written by Mehernosh Kapadia.
What a novel —WOW.
The novel you just want to finish in one go—excellent.
I throughly enjoyed by Saturday and Sunday reading it.
He has a unique way of educating you about the Dalits by a seperate chapter at the end after the novel is over.
He much better than Chetan Bhagat. Hope to read your next novel soon.
Thanks very much .
Let my feet remain on the floor. I have a long way to go.
All I do in life is read novels eat and dream.
I must have ready over 500 novels by now and all subjects.
My favourites so far have been Sydney Sheldon, Harrold Robbins and Aurther Hailey.
Today i have added one more name to them –Mehernosh Kapadia. His novel SOCIETY is complete in all aspects. It sends a message and also entertains which very few authors are able to do. They just entertain. Mehernosh I want to meet you. Lots of kisses and hugs.
Please please i am no where near them. I have just written my first novel
Thanks for all your support

Hi Mehernosh,
I have not yet read this book, but certainly will.
Very soon. After reading all the praises showered on it by our fellow parsis, my curiosity is cerainly piqued.
I am in Kerala at present and there are “0” as in no parsis here.
Do keep in touch and inform me whenever your new work comes along.
ALL THE BEST.
Jesi.
Thanks Jesi.
My next novel will be released in May 2010 hopefully.
Please let me have your constructive criticism, also do recommend it to your friends after reading it and if you like it.

Who says there are no Parsis in Kerala. Come to Wayanad and you will find one living at the edge of the woods.

Yazdy.
Have you read the novel Sir?
With the grace of God 5 producers/directors of Hindi films are reading my novel SOCIETY
I will Insha Allah read the book soon. Alhamdulillah, meaning thanks to God, Mehernosh seems to have done a good job. I wish him all the best, and hope to see it on the big screen some day. We’re proud of you Mehernosh, our class mate in school.
Behalf of all our class mates at Holy Angels Convent, Bharooch.
Zohra.
You bring tears in my eyes dost.
Hope to see you soon in India.
Thanks for all your warm wishes.
Through my friends i came across this site when i was recommended Mehernosh Kapadia’s novel SOCIETY. Great work Yezdi.
Your site is very informative.
Also what a great novel mehernosh has written. Just UNPUTDOWNABLE. The best novel i have read in many many years. Let us all Parsees support him and make it a grand success.
Thanks Ronnie for your kind words. I especially thanks Yezdi also
I had started reading The Afghan by Frederick Forsyth the great novelist who gave us The Day of the Jackal and Oddesa Files. But i feel he has lost touch with writing and i put down The Afghan as it was just boring and nothing in it. My circulating library man suggested Society by Mehernosh Kapadia. What a great novel he has penned. I finished it in 2 days. Great work from our Parsee brother. Should not all our Baugs support his novel?. I am sure he will be the best novelist in the years to come.
Thanks Armin. I will do my best in all my future work.
Excleent site for Parsees Yezdi.
I only came to know of this site when my friend Rusi said that a new Parsee author has written an excellent novel SOCIETY.
Honest;y i did not believe him that the novel can be so good.
He asked me the visit this site to read the comments of the readers. So i came on this site. It has excellent information for Parsees. Great work —keep it up. I will certainly read SOCIETY .Good luck Mehernosh .
All credit to my dear friend Yezdi. Yezdi is a very hard working and a humble man who i know from my college days.
Thanks to him i am getting exposure through this site.
Excellent interview by Mehernosh Kapadia.
The man is absolutely sincere and his clarity of thoughts were evident.
I am sure the man is going to go places and we are going to hear a lot about him in the years to come.
When are the community papers going to recognize him ?
Only two words for the novel SOCIETY. EXPECTETION SURPASSED.
I have known mehernosh since college days when he and Paresh Rawal ( now a famous Hindi film actor) used to perform on stage. Both were excellent actors, but mehernosh also use to write and direct plays also.
I am so happy to have read his first novel and i can only say once again EXPECTATION SURPASSED.
We college friends of Narsee Monjee College are proud of you Mehernosh

Dear friends,
I sincerely thank you for the support you have given my novel SOCIETY.
I have received many emails and queries when my next novel will be released.
Though I had promised by May this year, I am sorry to state it will be earliest by late June.
The reason for delay is to give you a much better read.

My parsi friend Kamal recommended me novel SOCIETY by mehernosh kapadia. The novel kept me enthralled. Hope we have many more good writers like mehernosh who care for the poor in SOCIETY.
SOCIETY novel by mehernosh kapadia is as good as if not better than any other renouned international authors like Khaled Hosseini,Jeffer Archer, Tom Clamcy , Fredrick Forsyth and many more.
What society is , is very well stated by the author in the novel SOCIETY.
The author has very clear thinking and that he is able to put that on paper.
A novel not to be missed.
This is the first novel my wife liked.
Excellent Mr. Kapadia
Friends ,
I received from a reader who liked by novel SOCIETY very much, asking how many novels are sold. Honestly i dont know as that only the publisher would know. My reply to him was “The number of copies is not so much a measure of success as the depth with which you touch people. I am at a stage where I would rather touch a smaller number of people at a deeper level than a larger group superficially.”
What a statement. You are a true humble soul.
Very well stated Mehernosh
Can some one give me the mobile number of actor Boman Irani or his email id please
Dear Mr Mehernosh Kapadia , Society is a fabulous Un Put down able book which is a very gripping
it is a Best Seller and superb book

Congratulations you are Greater than Harald Robbins , Chetan Bhagat …

I simply loved the novel SOCIETY by Mehernosh Kapadia. Very bold writing from a Parsi gentleman. Only a man with great conviction would use words like golden shower . India atlast has found a strong writer. Congrats mehernosh. Look forward to lots from you.
Mr. Mehernosh Kapadia loved your novel SOCIETY . It shows you are a person who cares for what is right and what is wrong in society. Wish there were many like you.

Dear Friends,
I have launched my website with help from Yezdi Tandra.
http://www.mehernoshkapadia.com
Also launched is my new novel Crime –A One Way Street as an ebook.
SYNOPSIS
This is the story of a bastard son against the backdrop of the gang-wars in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the sixties, seventies and the eighties, who entered the world of crime.
He forgot the principle of the gangs- Firstly not to fall in love and secondly- interest of the brothers of the gangs come before your beloved. He made the fatal mistake of falling in love and realized that “CRIME IS A ONE WAY STREET.”
The decisions taken by the father and son in this relationship will shock the readers.
Through this novel the author is trying to convey firstly that crime never pays.
Secondly —who ever you are, whatever your religion, from whatever part of the world you come from –one needs and seeks love.
Lastly — the author has juxtaposed old Hindi film songs in the novel –reminding us how beautiful the words and music were.
I am looking forward to your support.
Kind regards,
mehernosh kapadia

I had read SOCIETY the first novel of the author and now his second CRIME –A ONE WAY STREET.
I really must compliment you sir for you have handled two completely different subjects flawlessly. This shows your versatility as a writer.
Both the novels are a lovely read.
Both the novels keeps the interest till the very end and is fast paced .
They are better than the recent novel Theodore Boone by John Grisham.
Dear Friends,
If you all are members of facebook see the proposition ( and the comments of others )of Mehernosh Kapadia on Ajmal Kasab —I have a different view.
wish you all a very Happy and prosperous new year
I WANT YOU TO WATCH MY WIFE novel by Mehernosh Kapadia is faster than a James Bond movie
I Want You To Watch My Wife is a real crime thriller. It has all the ingrediens to be made into a fast Hollywood movie with Sean Connery as the investigator.
Goodbook, Mehernosh..Dr.Aban gave it to me to read.. Get it edited before the second edition..There were 3 or 4 bloomers which i do not want to mention..Along the banks of the Tapti in Surat there are no bars due to prohibition in Gujarat..From the cricket stadium in Bandra ur view is really restricted..
Anyway ,a good debut effort..Keep it up
Just finished reading SOME WOMEN WILL NEVER CHANGE by Mehernosh Kapadia.
Nice suspence, sex and romance.
seems to be inspired by Salman –Aishwarya romance story
Congratulations Sir for now your novel SOME WOMWN WILL NEVER CHANGE in paperback after great success as an ebook
Mr Mehernosh Kapadia’s novel SOME WOMEN WILL NEVER CHANGE is Salmaan —Aishwarya love story in parts.
Excellently written and very good suspence.
Abbas Mastan should make a movie out of this novel.
Loved your novel CRIME A ONE WAY STREET.
In volvement of a man with 3 women so very well handled.
The best author of the world could not have handled it the way you wrote.
