About the Book

Challenged by a Kashmiri greengrocer in South Kensington, journalist Justine Hardy went to work for The Indian Express in New Delhi. This is an idiosyncratic, funny and sad tale about writing as an outsider on the inside of a country where the newspapers are still printed on hot-metal machines and deadlines are missed because of cows at rush hour. India's clash of past and present continues to wrong-foot Justine as she tries to get her story in order.

Table of Contents:
The Kashmiri of South Kensington; a head-stand; cocktails for the blind; the garden of shades; on things that explode; the dust monk in God's library; body in mind; "Sindoor" and sex; Mrs Krishna and Mrs Windsor; high teas and aquarium blues; the foolish man devours all he has; treading lightly on dreams; returned empty; black Oxfords and last rites.

About the Author :
Justine Hardy was born and educated in England, trained as a Journalist in Australia, and has worked on newspapers and magazines both there and in India. Hernew book, Goat: A Story of Kashmir and Notting Hill, is also to be published by John Murray in 2000. She continues to write for newspapers in America, England and India, and presents on television. She lives in London and India.

Review :
`With both humour and pathos this true-life account tells the story of one British journalist's extraordinary experiences after taking a job on a daily newspaper in Delhi.' Daily Mail; `A brilliantly observed, often amusing and sometimes tragic account of a country where the Imperial structure is now a distant memory as it struggles to reinvent itself for the modern world.' Geographical Magazine; `A distinctive voice informed by intelligence, sensitivity and a generous spirit.' Sara Wheeler, Daily Telegraph; `Tremendously funny and evocative'. Nicholas Coleridge; `Justine Hardy has produced something more than the usual besotted travelogue. . . it is full of Dickensian detail and hilarious dialogue.' Guardian; `A funny, fresh and occasionally sad take on a country that no one - not even the lapsed princes and commissioning editors - is really going to understand.' Independent.
