Maximum City

Next book on my list : Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found. A memior of Suketu's life and views on his city, bombay before he left , and after he came back to visit. The books got a big two thumbs up from Salman Rushdie too !! Suketu Mehta had stopped by our university, of which he is an alumni, for a book reading, and from the few excerpts he read out to us, its definately is worth a read. The city bursting at its seams, and yet finds space to include one more person. My adopted wonderful city ..yeh hein bombay meri jaan.

I don't know about this one. I guess i am very passionate about the city I grew up in and I am a little apprehensive about the bad and the ugly that will be mentioned in the book besides the good. That said, there is bad and ugly in Bombay, but it may not be the same bad and the ugly that the author might point out. Lucky you, you seem surrounded by authors and Nobel laureates and what not :-)
