I wrote in the book as well, I'll meet you someday sir! Feb 05, Manoj Das rated it did not like it. This is the worst program in Indian television to mislead Indian youth. It does not offer any deep insight into the person or the show.
Prima Facie, the picture on the cover did not reflect Raghu Ram the way he comes across through the book. In the least, it appeared as if Raghu Ram has multiple faces. It would be interesting to google him and look at some of the images on Internet, he comes across as a smart, well presented anchor of a famous show.
The cover does not reflect that at all. In fact, the cover is designed to create an impression. That too for the sake of an impact. Did he create any? I doubt. Reality shows are like that, I feel. At times, they appeal and the other times, they simply fall flat on its face. Roadies was one such show. At times, it appeared to challenge the contestants in a constructive manner and at times, some of the tasks appeared overly dramatized for some strange reason.
Well, coming back to the book, the book almost appears as though these are pages from either his travelogue or from his diary. The book gives sequences and events one after the other. It absolutely does not offer any insight into a show that was hugely popular, commercially may be successful. It also does not offer any insights into what made this man the person he appeared on the show.
I mean, occasionally it does talk about the deeper, inner thoughts that drive Raghu Ram but all that appears quite superficial. He comes across as truthful through those passages for sure. The book has several pictures and also some poignant stories from the show. They would certainly appeal to you. They appear full of real emotions and feelings. I was left second guessing about his relationship with his brother Rajiv. I also felt that he has high regard for his wife for she is the woman who has supported him through this journey.
However, the book, while it does refer to her and the role she has played in his life, does not give her enough credit in writing. While Raghu might have used the F word quite liberally during the show, I felt that it was absolutely unnecessary in the book. It does not create any impact whatsoever. In fact, it comes in the way of a fast paced and smooth reading. Was it really necessary to sprinkle it with the F word? Absolutely not.
Is he a born writer? I do not think so. However, there is a different charm in reading a language full of colloquialism for sure. One thing that surprised me was his ability to work incessantly for days together. I cannot imagine someone working non-stop for seven days. I am sure it would have its impact on his health. It would be good to catch up with him about his journey and the nuances he might have picked up about himself, others and about life over the past decade.
The book is a fast read for sure. Dec 05, Sia rated it it was ok. I was interested to know the real person behind the rude face and yes it was interesting reading for someone who has been following Rodies. The book tells those part which we are unaware about and why exactly Raghu is like this. It was more like a journey of Roadies in form of words.
Fair enough because the book also explains how smart he is as a person not to open his all cards. So it was a good read. Dec 24, Anish Kumar rated it really liked it.

How the conce Book starts with introducing how Raghu feels while creating this show and he himself doesn't know why he suddenly haves this adrenaline rush and gets super excited infront of people who are chanting his name.
How the concept of roadies was introduced and how its first two season was shot and why they were a disaster. And how a team is formed which helped him in changing the way roadies is perceived by people and how roadies 3 became turning point in history of roadies as well as raghu's life.
This book also covers details why raghu left MTV during season 7 and why he came back and what happened after that. This book covers : his regrets, his achievements, his clarifications, his language,etc,. I would recommend to everyone, whosoever has liked Roadies. S:- Raghu as a person is very interesting. Some unknown facts about him : he makes sure he gets things done his way, otherwise he chooses to quit it altogether.
And also when it comes to work, he wants to get things done, anyhow. No matter if he has to sacrifice his sleep or his image. So now, you know, Raghu wants Respect with Survival :D Aug 28, Vikas rated it really liked it Shelves: owned.
Really nice autobiography by talented, rude and mysterious Raghu. It was a great read where he tries to tell who he really is. And yes he succeeds acknowledging his mistakes and also sharing some fun little secrets. Worth reading for sure. People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put I just love reading and so to that end I have made it my motto to just Keep on Reading. I love to read everything except for Self Help books but even those once in a while.
I read almost Really nice autobiography by talented, rude and mysterious Raghu. I read almost all the genre but YA, Fantasy, Biographies are the most. My favorite series is, of course, Harry Potter but then there are many more books that I just adore. I have bookcases filled with books which are waiting to be read so can't stay and spend more time in this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.
Feb 26, Indiabookstore rated it really liked it. Conclusion 2 — Hard-working man is a mad man. He did not discount the fact that success and glory brought along with them the blight of arrogance, egoism, jealousy, conceit and turpitude. May 21, Agnivo Niyogi rated it really liked it. Raghu is known to be brutally honest, and rude television personality who minces no words.
And now with this book we get an insight into his struggles, his highs and lows of life and his experience of making Roadies, one of the most popular show on Indian Television. From a boy scrawny, weak, easily intimidated, voice unbroken at fifteen, who was bullied consistently through his childhood, he has transformed into the badass rockstar of Indian TV.
The transformation is worth taking a bow. Aug 05, Tanya Sinha rated it liked it. I don't even know why I read this book. I don't idolize this guy. I am not a fan. The only two probable answers to why I bought the book in the first place are - 1. I like how he drills deep into the interviewee's mind during the PIs, 2. I was to travel for 24 hours, all on my own. There were parts of the novel that I was not much interested in and just skimmed through and then there were those which actually force you to repeat the cliche 'nothing is impossible'.
Raghu, through his hard work had I don't even know why I read this book. Raghu, through his hard work had carved a place for himself and inspired many. His revelations about Roadies were fun to read!

I really felt inspired by the book though I m not a roadie fan but I always liked the attitude of Raghu Ram. So now, you know, Raghu wants Respect with Survival: The synopsis of the book summarises it best: The way roadues has expressed his emotions, one could feel them. Return to Book Page. I would give book- 3. What was that political attack on him was? It does not offer any oradies insight into the person or the show. Now, stories moves with his different experience with Roadies session and people.
Quotes from Rearview My Roadi On a positive note, few anecdotes were interesting like the one where its decided why a bike would be rearview my roadies journey free mode of rearview my roadies journey free rather than a car. Lists with This Book. He has presented his whole life to the reader in this book. The book has several pictures and also some poignant stories from the show. To get a better glimpse as to what all went in the background, this is the book to read! The narrative is griping and its a fast read but it gets pretty boring at the end if you have watched all the seasons.
The man behind one of the most popular youth reality shows of India, Roadieshas a story to tell. Specially Youth Like it. For Raghu fans, it could be a must read but not for Roadies fans.
