Book Review: Life Over Two Beers

The Book ‘Life Over Two Beers and other stories’ is written by one of my favourite Indian authors Sanjeev Sanyal.

The author generally writes non-fiction and this is the first time he has forayed into the world of fiction.

The Book consists of short stories and poems and is a light  breezy read.

The stories seem to be grounded from the author’s own life and he does a good job at poking fun at the various boors, bores and hypocrites around us

Its the kind of book you want to take on your vacation and read it at leisure.

Would recommend this book for light reading.
