About the Author:

Aditya Sharma grew up in Sonipat, aspiring to be a cricketer. When his not-so-distinguished cricket career went for a toss, he studied Law at Delhi University and then practiced in his hometown for a couple of years until he discovered that he wanted to be a writer. Aditya started by freelancing for various national newspapers and magazines. When a weekly publication took him on as a journalist in New Delhi, he was more than relieved to be rescued from a lawyer s drab life in the district courts. His articles and short stories have been published in The Hindu, The Tribune, Sahara Time and Life Positive.

Review:

A highly readable account ... combines the enthusiasm of a self-avowed fanboy with the clinical detachment of a professional critic --Sunday Indian
