POLYTICKS, DEMOCKRAZY AND MUMBO- JUMBO

This is the cover of my new book releasing on the 31st of August, 2020. Published  by Pippa Rann Books and Media, UK. It's a collection of satirical and irreverent pieces on the state of our politics, society, leaders and democratic systems. We have given them serious thought and it has got us nowhere- it's time now to look at their humorous and funny side. That too will get us nowhere, but it might just dispel the gloom and doom for a brief interlude!




The virtual launch of the book shall be at 6.30 PM ( Indian time) on the 31st of August 2020. I shall be in conversation with an eminent group of writers, including Mr. Shashi Tharoor, MP and the publisher Prof. ( retd.) Prabhu Guptara who lives in Cambridge. Would certainly request you all to join if you can spare the time. The links for joining the launch are given below:

To take a slight liberty with G.B.Shaw: All great truths begin as jokes!
