Maximum City
Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found | Suketu Mehta
2 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
A native of Bombay, Suketu Mehta gives us an insiders view of this stunning metropolis. He approaches the city from unexpected angles, taking us into the criminal underworld of rival Muslim and Hindu gangs; following the life of a bar dancer raised amid poverty and abuse; opening the door into the inner sanctums of Bollywood; and delving into the stories of the countless villagers who come in search of a better life and end up living on the sidewalks. From the Trade Paperback edition.

This paragraph from #MaxiumCity helps explain the Bollywood movie "Robot" (also known as "Enthiran")... As a Westerner, that movie made little sense to me, but now I have a better understanding of what I would classify as nonsensical.

Pickpick

My boyfriend got this book for me because he travels to Mumbai fairly often for work. While this isn't the type of book I would normally pick for myself, it's very enjoyable and a great insight into Mumbai in ways that the everyday non-native may not be privy too.
