Description

Political satire is not parading one's intellect or mere wordplay. It requires understanding of politics, the desire to hit out at people who exploit others and a clear focus. The subtler the satire, the better its impact.

This book collects satirical pieces by the well-known columnist on a range of topics-media, politics, sports. These are clever pen pictures, where the contours are deliberately exaggerated. They do not fail to tickle your funny bone-at the same time, sharpening your awareness of the anomalies in social and political life.
