Out of her colossal collection, a suitable range of Shobha De's works has been carefully selected and arranged in this volume. This book covers the versatility of De's writing, be it on politics, media, food, festivals, films, books, people, travelogues; or articles pertaining to her city of joy and pain (Bombay); and much more. As a special bonus, this volume offers the first short story written by De. "A melange of themes, personalities, random thoughts, all forcefully even colourfully expressed - there is much that is amusing, outrageous, thought-provoking, even shocking." --The Hindustan Times

4.0 out of 5 stars
I liked it.,

This review is from: Shooting From the Hip (Paperback)
Since I have not read her novels, I only look at Shobha as a journalist. I bought the book hoping to get a glimpse of her mind, and this I got. Her writing is simple, personal and gets to the point (when there is one) fast. Her articles, when not lampooning or eulogising someone on the basis of a couple of meetings, tell the story of a little girl who goes through fun-loving teenagehood to become a mother who yearns for the good old days. But the way the story is told, now that's something. It's also a great book for anyone curious about Bombay, though it concentrates on higher class society.
