  • Description

    Delhi OMG! is the story of one man’s struggle for survival in the colorful, yet tough Indian city of Delhi.

    Summary Of The Book

    Delhi OMG! is the story of a man named Dinesh. It is set in the big, bad city of Delhi, traversing some of the key places in the city and exposing its shocking underbelly.

    Dinesh is a middle class man who goes from living in government flats in Netaji Nagar to a posh, luxurious DLF residence. As Dinesh goes about his life in Delhi, he encounters various characters from all walks of life. His journey also takes him to several hot-spots of the city, acquainting him with a different side of Delhi, a shocking side often hidden under the cloak of superficiality. At once humorous and hard-hitting, the story presents the vibrant as well as the dark side of life in Delhi.

    The book explores themes like bribery, obsession with foreign women, sex trafficking, and the well-known fixation of Delhiites on the concept of self-image. Common perceptions about the city of Delhi are once again brought to the fore, and perhaps even strengthened by the narrative.

    Delhi OMG! was first published in 2012 by Om Books International. It received positive reviews.

    Simple, easy and a good read. Vinod’s brought in the nuances & small unknown facts of Delhi very subtlly, interestingly and are well placed.

    OMG

    OMG

    That was precisely my first reaction to this debut novel:-)

    The book very effectively & at times humorously encapsulates many shades of this melting pot called Delhi. And the city has a palpable living entity in the novel with it's queer, weird & grey value systems. It's also a growing up & 'rites of passage' novel .One can easily identify & connect with the protagonists' angst & agonies as he goes thru life..The myriad collage of observations about the city & it's people are astute &...

    Nostalgic read for any one who's made the capital their home

    having read several academic like books on Delhi over the years it was really great to read a book about the DNA of the city and its underbelly, its residents. For many of us who call delhi home, we will identify with several characters from the book, and all those who have moved to delhi in the recent past, Delhi OMG is a must read to understand how Delhi works and how a common man on the streets behaves the way he does, from the overcharging auto driver, to the nosy landlord!!!

    Truly some brilliance happening here.

    There's a frustration they can never completely explain. Never ever. Frustration of 'them' who are not 'us', frustration of 'outsiders' who don't 'belong' here, frustration of being treated badly. What's meant to be will always find a way it is said, and it must be these aforementioned feelings that prompted the author of this downright 'in-the-face' book to pen down a tragi-comic take on 'our' beloved city. It is an impertinently bold tale on survival of the fittest and the meanest, an unrel...

    Discover Delhi

    For anyone wanting to know what ails the big bad Delhi, this book is a must read. The city of Delhi has a very peculiar character in how it manages to erode its inhabitants’ character – let it be surpassing queues, overtaking on road from wrong side, having the right contacts for school admission, stealing electricity from your tenants generator, conspiring with your colleague to pull someone down or being forced to watch from trees inspite of having a legitimate ticket at Ferozeshah Kotla – ...

    No plot or storyline but great insight into Delhi

    In terms of a novel this has no storyline to speak of. It does however contain lots of insights into how Delhi ticks through the use of topical anecdotes. As a foreigner living in Delhi I enjoyed identifying with some of the experiences of the protagonist as well as learning new things about this great city

    The Bottom Line - A great book by many measures

    A gripping story that you won't want to put down. Through its powerful story, the book is a page turner and covers all themes of life; i.e. good and evil, friendship, love, pain, betrayal, heartache, joy & self redemption.


    Delhi OMG looks at how the main character, Dinesh, deals with situations in his past and how those situations shaped who he become.

    I was drawn in by Dinesh's relationship and love with mankind, especially his father. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angr...

    Mesmerizing and captivating, Delhi OMG! is an enchanting walk down the memory lane for any-one who has grown up in Delhi.
