It is so much more, that it would be a crime to describe its contents as travel pieces . . . It examines the petty and the large-hearted, the honest and the hypocritical, the smug, the defeated and the insecure . . . In the final analysis, Indian Journeys is like a parcel gift-wrapped in multiple layers, each one presenting the reader with a wonderful surprise that raises his expectations of the next' Sunday Statesman`A treat ... With more than 35 pieces, the book gives a wide-angle view of contemporary India' Indian Express`An exhilarating account of India, complete in its mosaic of contending architecture, climate, people, politics, emotions, ambitions and shibboleths' Hindustan Times`[India] sets the literary imagination on fire.
