A good, fun read about our fellow Indians. You can blow through it in a few hours or days, depending on your reading speed.
It is organized as a string of individual stories, quite unrelated to each other. The author's writing style is good, so you do feel drawn into the story.

However - this book is going to appeal to you only if you are a certain TYPE of Indian - the type that is not described in the various stories, the well-educated, aware, aloof sort of Indian who thinks they are ever-s...

Loved it from beginning till the end. If books have tastes, this one is definitely sweet. I'm not a travel buff but curious about those who are. Why they do it? What they feel? and of all the things in the world why someone would do a conducted tour? Read it.
Reading the book in the cool confort of my room was wonderful. We visit places not to see but to feel. Book contains 10 different tours and 10 or more 'feelings'. Best part is the writer is not judgemental about his fellow travelers onl...

With the disposable income in the hands of average middle class Indian increasing a large number of Indian venture out of their homes for travel inside and outside India. While the more adventerous and resourceful ones plan their trips with the help of a plethora of travel help books and magazines, most prefer to leave all the hassles of planning and executing to their friendly neighbourhood travel agent . It is this group of Indian travelers that the book seeks to relate to.

The first few chapters were gems. They were extremely hilarious, relate-able and stunning in general. However, the book eventually took a turn for the worse. Chapters that followed were drab and descriptive, with the author attempting to make every little detail sound epiphanous. While the book promisingly began as one catering to an Indian audience, it eventually turned into a guide of sorts for foreign travelers. I would recommend this book to every reader of travelogues only because the fi...

Very good book! Writer brings out the essence of all the ten trips he describes. Especially good is the character description of the people who go on his conducted tours. A book everybody is sure to enjoy.

Very nice read. Its quite different from your regular travel books. Its interesting, in how it describes people travelling in groups. The automatic division into sub-groups. Each chapter is a different tour, a new bunch of people, a new location, with the only constant being Srinath's observations & interactions with them.

I picked this book from flipkart, after reading an extract on a website. (open magazine i think).

its not the usual run of the mill travelogue. This one is more about the people and how they behave in groups.
