The problem is these have to be translated to English. Vernacular magazines and Sunday pull-outs of most regional newspapers publish lots of travel articles, which are unfortunately inaccessible to the majority of the reading population.

Varma. It gave me a very good insight into India. I was always searching for my identity (kind of) because I studied in a convent school and then when I came out of it, I realised that I had been living in a cocoon. The real India was where I worked and the real India was in my new neighbourhoods. Varma's book gave me an insight into the the workings of the Indian mind and pointed me to where I came from.
