Vinod Mehtas new book takes forward the story of Lucknow Boy, recounting
his experiences in the corridors of power in Delhi. His views on
Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal and the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and his
decoding of coalition politics and the significant changes ushered in by
the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, are expressed with his characteristic
sharp insights, wit and wisdom. So too are his analysis of the sweeping
changes taking place in the print and TV media and his pen portraits of
personalities such as Ratan Tata, Niira Radia, Khushwant Singh, Sachin
Tendulkar and Arundhati Roy. Other chapters examine the lack of humour
in our political life, the changing aspirations of the Indian middle
class and the mistakes and regrets of his life. Peppered with anecdotes
and gossip, every page of this honest, lively and irreverent book is
both illuminating and entertaining.
