Khushwant Singh, (Punjabi: ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ਵੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ, Hindi: खुशवंत सिंह) born on 2 February 1915 in Hadali, Undivided India, (now a part of Pakistan), was a prominent Indian novelist and journalist. Singh's weekly column, "With Malice towards One and All", carried by several Indian newspapers, was among the most widely-read columns in the country.
An important post-colonial novelist writing in English, Singh is best known for his trenchant secularism, his humor, and an abiding love of poetry. His comparisons of social and behavioral characteristics of Westerners and Indians are laced with acid wit.
Typical Khuswant Singh with a good compilation of all his best stories, especially the ones dealing in his favourite theme of relationships and women. The book has too many stories, most short and very short with the exception of 4 to 5 stories of around 30to 40 pages. Easy reading especially for Hindi readers. Overall a thoroughly engrossing fare if u like what the late old man is best known for.
