About the Book

One of India’s most prolific bloggers, Shukla’s weapons of choice are humour and satire, the stiletto and not the bludgeon. He uses them skilfully to expose the inanities, pretensions, biases, cupidities and failures of our society, governments, media, big business, academia and anything else that rouses his ire. He does so with big helpings of sarcasm, irony and the suggestio falsi. His style of writing is unique and his insights refreshing.

This compendium of some of his favourite blogs spans the entire spectrum of life in India, and is guaranteed to make the reader chuckle and reflect deeply at the same time.
