Reviews

[Zen Walker]

Very humoristic and funny in its own ways in its times. A good time pass book for some quirks.

[Bala Joshi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beechi is one with curious mind. While I adore his wit and very witty satire, this book appeals for altogether a different reason. By being compilation of witty answers to readers questions for a weekly magazine, this brings out perceptions of a bygone era. Era of naked nepotism and corruption, shame of poverty and difficulty of taking shame of getting fed by US, double standards of men having difficulty adjusting to nascent feminism and so on.
Beechi stands out with completely unexpected answers, sometimes really harsh to point out bigotry and chauvinism of a question, and sometimes really humane and introspecting comebacks.
Read this second time almost two decades, as I find with most books they are as if totally have changed in what they are conveying!.
