"Absolute Khushwant" by Kushwant Singh

I just finished reading Khushwant Singh's new book ( published in 2010). As usual it was a delight reading him. Simple language, easy narrative, absolutely frank and free about everything....yes everything. I now getbooks home from by placing order on line and they deliver home and pick up when I ask them online. Buying books and worrying about storing them is passe`.

Sardarji covers Indian Politics and politicians,marriage,religion,Urdu language,and many other topics chapterwise. Last is an Urdu couplet which when translated reads...

You ask me what I do in life
Well, I sell mirrors inthe city of the BLIND.

The book is like an autobiography though not quite one.
