A book I am currently reading


Maximum City : Bombay Lost and Found
by Suketu Mehta

Mehta, an Indian-born American, travels back to his city, Bombay where he documents the life of India's metropolis. Throughout his journey, Mehta takes us to the city's slums as well to its privilaged areas; to the good men and women of Bombay and to its villains; to the dancers and worshippers - just like a Bollywood movie.

Mehta writes in full depth with an ethnographic touch.

I highly recommend it.
