A delightful & easy to read book---as one keeps turning the pages
you feel that these events have also occurred with you . The stories
are narrated in a very simple manner, which keeps the reader glued
till the last. It's a wonderful collection of incidents /happenings in our
daily Life and the beauty of the book is the author's interpretation
of those events- a very commendable book for a first try-
Looking forward to the next one

A very interesting book with a very wide canvas. Much of it is fun and told so informally that you feel you were in the story. Thus you meet world’s youngest author and tour guide, both 8years old, a snake smeller sniffing for snake around your house and several such special personalities. Also you have a look at Gandhi and Nehru in a way you have never done before. Pleasant reading all through.

The book brought back memories of India as the country of contrasts.
From snake smellers and gurujis that love giving discourses to gandhians that have gone out of their way to provide education to others and innovators that create helmets specially for women. The book reminded me of how crazy India is and how somehow despite all its craziness, it works - people with very different beliefs coexist easily.
The author has a unique presentation of many of the problems affecting India. I have read many articles describing India's issues but they never take the extra
step and mention possible solutions to those issues. However, this book frequently made me stop and think ... encouraging classical music by catching them young, suggestions for improving tourism. even some alternatives to mundane serials - like more hasya kavis!
Easy to read, full of humor & observations. Can't wait for the authors next book!
