Vinod Mehta

Viking, 300 pages, Rs.599

In this lively and irreverent book, Vinod Mehta takes forward the story of his previous memoir, Lucknow Boy, by recounting his experiences in Delhi’s corridors of power. His views on today’s politicians, and on the significant changes ushered in by the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, are expressed with characteristically sharp insight, wit and wisdom, as are his portraits of personalities such as Ratan Tata, Niira Radia, Sachin Tendulkar and Arundhati Roy.
