A humorous family novel set in the 1970s in New Delhi, India. The main character is a lively grandma who unites the community with her affectionate involvement in her neighbors' affairs, with wisdom, kindness and humor.
As the title says, this novel echoes the vibrance and liveliness of the main character in the novel - Paati. Interesting in the way it brings out the lifestyle as it was 50 years ago...
