One of the best Indian books I have ever read. So many authors write for the language, which is good too, but when a writer focuses on a story, and only aims to delight his readers, a book like this takes a birth! Immensely hilarious, gripping, and uniquely represents the largely undiscovered common Indian humor! What a book! Only advice is, if you know Hindi, only read this in Hindi -- else you will miss a big part of the greatness (With no offense to the translator(s) to English -- who I show more think have done a good job in adapting this masterpiece! show less
