Title: Ambling Indian Diaries
Author: Aina Rao
Blurb:
"This book, a fun trip through India-with all the peculiar experiences of the country, has the ingredients to intrigue, the spice to savour, and the nuggets of reflection to delight! Meet the characters of Chand TV and Changa Times-Madam Chandni, Mr. Chatu, Mr. Raja Chata, voluptuous Ms. Kitry Kat; and the others-the boyfriend Runny Singh, Tinuji, swashbuckling Mr. Anal Manbee, Jamal and the Mangoman. Watch their lives intertwining with the young and lively Ambling Indian's, as they navigate through the lanes, bylanes, gallis, and mohallas that make up much of India. Coast through Bollywood, the elite Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institutes of Management-hallowed Oxbridges of the East; weddings, politics, and modern offices. Duck and dive as you avoid the cows, potholes, and street dogs. Celebrate the functions and everything else that is the substance of modern India; chaotic yet captivating. Sit back, brace yourself for a quirky, rollicking auto rickshaw ride, and lose yourself in time as you travel with the aam aadmi (the common man). Discover an India like you have never seen before- through the mirror of the Ambling Indian, Aina; who discovers an unknown side of herself too."
My Views:
This one has got some witty building blocks to it. Tracing different findings about Indian, society, culture, and many more to explore for you. If you are an Indian, you are definitely aware of the stuffs. But, sometimes it is good to look through someone else's perception, especially if someone is willingly gives you fist of laugh in between.
Definitely a good book in this specific genre, but not suitable for everyone's taste. You have to show your interest to have fun while reading her words.
