| The book is an epic. It has a vast historical sweep, set in the slightly hazy period when the Mughal dynasty was declining and the British gaining control over the sub-continent, a little over a hundred years from early 18th to the mid-19th century. ...more | |

| This is not your usual book about money, trying to prove every theory to the last decimal point. Through stories and examples, it tries to explore how people make financial decisions. Reminded me of a colleague in the big bank I used to work in, when ...more | |

| Fascinating account told from a unique perspective, of a former Count held 'captive,' unbelievably, in one of the swishest hotels in the world, from the time of the Bolshevik Revolution. And of the many characters that he keeps colliding with though ...more | |

“Going against the customs of the Court and high society that consider it normal to make the lower classes wait indefinitely, Hazrat Mahal has never been able to accept this disregard for others, this manner of monopolising their time....this tendency to make them waste their lives, just out of indifference.
