Read while in the mood for something fun during a long weekend. This is indeed fun; an assemble-the-avengers action-filled adventure with a ton of deliberate representation. Special call out for the Tamilian with H-1B lottery problems from whom I learnt a new Tamil phrase: kan kettu piragu Surya namaskaaram. Favourite quote: “Home isn't where the heart is, it's wherever the wind feels right.”

A passionately written index of the history that didn't make it to typical British (and possibly Indian) curricula. A useful, albeit strongly opinionated, reference for millennias of rule of the Indian subcontinent.

Few attempts to keep the author's judgements & opinions separate from historical content. Treat this as a highly informative extended opinion piece, as opposed to content for a generative classroom discussion.

Described by the author as “a pop song”, this book is joyful. Dialog drives the plot forward almost exclusively.

This is unabashedly a self-help book with a stretched metaphor paralleling disc golf with life. A work the cult of positivity would be proud of. If overwhelming positivity works for you, I would recommend it. For others, read it if you like disc golf for the casual ‘not tips' and to be privy to the inner thoughts of a disc golf enthusiast. Could have been better with even a light amount of proof-reading & editing.

Excellent at dispelling the rose-tinted haze that clouds the time of colonial rule in India in modern memories. An excellently-researched, well-substantiated, contemporary take on curing the collective ‘imperial amnesia', though at times painfully repetitive.
