Though I am a lazy reader, I finished the book fast as the chapters, content, and narration are very much relatable, short, and crisp with a combination of all the activities which reveal the intriguing nature of the author. In this book, his comments about pigeons as pests are genuine and thus, his points are well justified to avoid feeding them for controlling their breeding. Every chapter has some take-home message, which depicts his objective to inspire the readers in multiple aspects. Sparkling fireflies and enchanting ride ending at Thane's Happy Valley would dulcify anybody’s mood. Besides scientific facts, environment awareness, the essence of culture and tradition, the selfie points could not escape where gigantic flags, grand monuments, and historical attractions are there. In another chapter, the author dragged our attention towards commuting by public transport. The way the author explores the Thane area creates an urge in the readers to visit Thane. His initiatives to create awareness in home gardening, treating plants, and guiding will motivate and inspire any plant lovers. One must have a quick visit to Thane through reading “Life at Urbania’ by Giridhar Pai.
