What better way to spend the dawn of Independence Day than to read about the intricacies of the land we call our home?
Finally picked up Indian Realities: In Bits and Pieces off of my shelf today. Sham Lal, referred to as one of the most erudite personalities to have graced the editor's cabin, gifted us with a collection of over a hundred writings from his time as a columnist, which spanned for over forty years.
I bought this book a few years back and never got around to completing it.This lies way farther off from my general liking for fiction. So much to learn. So little time.
Here's to India and to her paradoxical independence!
