An uproariously funny, no-holds-barred tussle with India's entire canvas: political culture and current affairs, the environment and conservation, the bureaucracy and governance, legal matters, social issues, societal peccadilloes, and anything else that can be lampooned.
The foibles are treated with indulgent banter, the failures with wit and raillery of the highest order.
Avay Shukla is an original voice.
A major discovery.
