The book collects conversations with the many seekers who came to him for guidance, answering the questions sought on the road enlightenment.
Through this book, we can discover the essence of Sri Ramana's teaching: that self-realisation is the vital quest we must all pursue, before we can attempt to understand the world.

On one level, this is a story about love; the love of a woman lost and found and lost again. A chance sighting on a London bus, a letter that should never have been read, a pianist with a secret that touches the heart of her music: from a multiplicity of details, Vikram Seth creates, once again, a living, breathing world that enchants and grips the reader. This is also a book about music and about how the love of music can run like a passionate theme through a life.

Malice. This word is synonymous with Khushwant Singh; his pen has spared no one. For over four decades as India's most widely-read columnist, he has commented on just about everything: religion, politics, the future, past, prohibition, impotency, Presidents, politicians, cricket, dog-haters, astrologers, book banning, the secret of longevity...the list is endless. This book brings together some of his nastiest and most irreverent pieces. Witty, sharp and brutally honest, this collection is certain to delight and provoke readers of all ages.
