Sulekha Select: The Indian Experience in a Connected World

by Sulekha, Smart Information Worldwide, Ashini J. Desai

Rising above the Web sites that provide nothing but canned content, recycled news reports, seedy chat rooms, and mind-numbing Bollywood brain candy, this collection provides an unparalleled cultural context in which Indians from around the world express themselves and interact with each other. This book brings together 42 real-life stories from contributors to the Sulekha.com Web site. Selected by the Sulekha community from nearly 1,200 writings that have been published since 1998, this delightful and diverse collection of stories features Indians from all walks of life -- a CEO of an IT company in Singapore, a Ph.D. student at an American university, a Bangladeshi writer, and many others.

[Niranjani · Rating 5 out of 5]

A distinct collection of stories. Some stories make you cry your heart out and some you would go hysterical. I liked "Damn" and "How do you say it in Indian". There are some like the Train window bars and other stories which were ok. Its a book you can carry during a travel and you would enjoy. Especially with kids when they constantly distract you you could easily finish one short story before the next distraction :-)
