"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalThis collection of contemporary satirical essays in Hindi is a way of author to look at the current socio-political scenario and an attempt to recreate the magic of Hindi satire once visible in the world of Sharad Joshi, Shrilal Shukl and Harishankar Parsai. The author takes a dig at the inconsistencies of the modern world, modern value systems and modern politics, waltzing around with fictional heroes from the past. You have characters from Rag Darbari wandering about, Emperor Ashok landing in Karnataka post elections and even legendry writer Sharad Joshi himself coming out of retirement to get his satire published. The attempt of author is to create an outrageously funny world without ever losing the grace, dignity and beauty of language, cautiously and carefully avoiding the smattering of Hinglish and cuss-words modern Indian satire and homour space is infamous for.
