Maximum City—Bombay Lost and Found is an interesting read. It isn't exactly a travel book, however it may be taken as a Citylogue, a description of life in Bombay. U.S.-returned authoer, Suketu Mehta's Maximum City is a description of life and times in Bombay, as seen from his interaction with a cross section of Bombay's society, and is a window to the 'Zeitgeist'* of the city with stories about people in politics, religion, underworld (Mafia), Bollywood, betting, cricket, commuting, food, and all the things that make Bombay what it is. A city of dreams and the melting pot of India. To borrow from Frank Sinatra's popular song and change New York to Bombay, "Bombay, Bombay, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere." Read the book if you have an evening to spare. Regards, Chirayu Pune, India * Zeitgeist - The general cultural, intellectual, and moral climate of an era.
