Cantilevered Tales by Jayant Kripalani
3.0
A fast read
This started off very well.
The 'Khosla ka Ghosla'-ish feels were strewn all around. The book deals with the idea of 'development' and gives us a glimpse of how far corruption is rooted in bureaucracy.
By the end, it became slightly commercial Bollywood'ish. Suddenly the reader has to listen to the side of the corrupt businessman and become sympathetic towards him. However, I failed to sympathize and only found the man vile and tyrannical. I lost track a couple of times. But it was fast-paced and the language moves smoothly.
Not a bad read for the in-between-two-heavy-reads.
Pick it up if you like the 'Ji Mantriji' man. <3
