This epistolary of Reality hits hard- there is no sugar coating of any kind -it's just pure naked reality. The metaphors and devices of speech used are just wonderful.
Arvind Adega used those small comparisons in the book which shows how keen observant he is. Things like differences of taste and how what you eat and drink is defined by your economic status like picking up alcohol and getting the liquor for rich and poor had me in the first read, I have read more than 102 books but nothing so true. It is an expanse of reality and unpredictability.
