An intriguing set of fifty one real life encounters that leave the reader pondering on the contrasting shades of India. Sudha Murty brings out the best from her life experiences with her vivid writing that captivate the readers. Human nature and psychology is showcased through these twinkling tales where there are illustrations of honesty, humility, wisdom, greed, wretchedness, sorrow, cruelty and what not. The stories highlight human nature at it's best and worst. What interests me best in this book is the impact it creates through the simplicity of language. The stories reflect irony and are caramelized by subtle humour. Just like her other book, 'The day I stopped Drinking Milk', this book too manages to touch the deepest corners of one's heart. The author has dedicated this work of art to "the shirtless people of India" who have taught her so much about her country.
Strong variations in the societal effects on humans are showcased wonderfully. This universal book will surely leave a change in the outlooks of it's readers.
