A new India is visibly emerging from within the folds of its
many pasts. This new India needs to be seen with new eyes,
free from the baggage of yesterday's characterizations. This is exactly what Santosh Desai, one of India's
best-known social commentators, does in this warm,
affectionate and deliciously witty look at the changing
urban Indian middle class. Writing as an insider, from
personal experience, Desai cuts through the chaos and
confusion of everyday India both yesterday and today, and
suddenly, makes us see things clearly. Holding a mirror to
our inner selves, Desai makes us see what drives us, what
makes us tick, what makes our hearts beat, and how our
mindsets and attitudes are changing, even as the past never
quite leaves us. And Desai does so in short masterful
essays, written with great humour and sensitivity. A big
book about small things that truly matter.
