Více o knize

An anthology of essays and occasional pieces, written over a period of 24 years. Ushi Kak's pieces have appeared on the editorial pages of national newspapers like The Times of India and The Indian Express and in some leading news magazines like Outlook. She has a blog on WordPress under the pseudonym kashpundit, a name chosen to indicate her provenance and her penchant for puns and wordplay. "Funny, sad, and often eye-opening, these pieces are an entertaining read." - Shashi Tharoor, Member Parliament, Author "Often hilarious, always mischievous but never malicious this is an enjoyable read for even the most staid ... And a repeated heartbeat in this wonderland is the pathos of the human spirit symbolized by the joy and the sorrow of what has become of Ushi's homeland, Kashmir. An engaging read, an experience!" - Wajahat Habibullah, Former Chief Information Commissioner, Government of India "Ushi Kak serves up a delightful soufflé combining humour and sensitivity with which to entice the literary palate. Bon appetite! Cheers." - Jug Suraiya, Satirist and former Associate Editor of The Times of India
