It's one of the most amazing books I've read.. Written in simple, lucid language, everyone can connect to Jai & Kaahi. There were some funny incidences along with the realism in it. The best part was that while introducing the characters, the ethnic description was there, along with considering India as one entity. The use of 'local' language, read as Hindi; Marathi; Gujarati; Kannada; Bangla and many more clearly depicts the background of vast Indian culture.
One thing which I'd suggest to readers is that just even think of an incidence that the closest person to you is in (say) Pakistan or Bangladesh, and you are not able/allowed to communicate with that person.. That person can be your spouse/parents/child. Watch out your reaction. And consider the same incident happening in India. You'll certainly get goosebumps. One would certainly realize that even the thinking of dividing India raises a rage in ourselves.
