Horn OK Please - HOPping to Conclusions is a hilarious, witty and moralistic take on Kartik Iyengar's road trip to Ladakh with his fellow travelers. The book is thought provoking and gives its readers some glimpses of the rapidly-growing country that's India. Summary of the Book
For a book that's unpredictable, wacky, and completely off the hook, it's almost ironic that Horn OK Please – HOPping to Conclusions starts off with a foreword that's penned by the Dalai Lama.
Kartik Iyengar (aka Chief Redbull) takes his readers along with him on a journey to Leh and Ladakh with his comrades Derek Demonia and Goose Goldsmith in this fascinating book that provides snippets of India through the eyes of its protagonists. The book spans their journey from the busy streets of Maharashtra right across the country, through the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Goa, Delhi, Uttaranchal, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
Their hippie adventure is aptly aided by Chief Redbull's anthropomorphic, trusted SUV 'Motormouth', which keeps the tone of the book light with its quirky observations. Kartik Iyengar manages to bring up instances that most Indians turn a blind eye to, albeit in a humor-laden and lucid manner. He starts every chapter with a poetic snippet that's sarcastic, setting the scene for what's about to come in a tongue-in-cheek way.
