Shashi Tharoor continues to fascinate me as an author. He had it in him right from his college days. The stories are fascinating and one can relate to some of them. He certainly knows how to narrate and keep the reader captivated. I am sure the audience would be equally captivated if the play is performed on stage.
Penned by Mr. Tharoor between the age of 15-22, the short stories are the reflections that constitute a young adult's, evidently highly impressionable world view, those that shape his social, sexual, political, familial and scholastical sensibilities. The stories are typical magazine entertainers and have been previously, albeit individually published in magazines, tabloids, and journals all over the world.
Hence, predictably and rightfully so, the fourteen short stories are laced with a moderate...more

Finally I got myself into reading a short stories collection after a really long time and it was a lovely break from books where each chapter goes on endlessly. I have always wanted to read one of Tharoor's books, to see if his writing style and sensibilities is something I like. I was not disappointed although I took some time to arrive at this conclusion. Some of the stories were a bit too juvenile to my taste, which is to be expected out of this book as many of the stories were written when T...more

This is a collection of Shashi Tharoor's early works.. really early :) It has 14 stories and a two act play. While they are not of the fantastic quality of say, The Great Indian novel, it definitely shows the class of the author, who even during school and college days, displayed an affection for words, and humour.
Each story is preceded by a note from the author that explains the context, and the mood. This adds great value to the reading.

I was a bit worried when the author referred to these stories as adolescent works in the preface.
They are not quite as bad as that, but they are far from the quality of his novels. Here and there a keen insight shines through, and a concern for a changing India is evident in just about every story.
I found that 1974 seems to be when Tharoor hit his stride. The stories earlier than that (probably 2/3 of the ones in this collection) are a bit awkward and amateurish, but the ones after that tend to...more

An outpouring expression of Juvenile impressions of the world around him , is all that I can say about this collection of short stories by Tharoor . Now , the English is good , so the average connoisseur will find this a pleasant , if not very bright writing . I found some of his stories misogynistic, particularly 'Auntie Rita ' and 'The Simple Man ' which is basically just an English translation of those Hindi softporn that was once all the 'secret rage ' you used to popularly find in railway b...more

Good only if one considers the context that Tharoor wrote this when he was a boy. Otherwise, below average.

Linguistically simplistic representation of very real and eternally applicable principle that founds Indian existence.
Each story is so beautifully cliché, the ending expected, yet still somehow unexpected and one cannot be deterred from completing any of the numerous short stories. No topic is left untouched—romance, existentialism, politics, social commentary, crime—and although published in the 90s, their origins are dated to the 70s and one cannot help but become more captivated by the voice...more

You can either love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him!
I find him one of the most read, under-appreciated and over-hated man ever. I am not sure if that's the reason, this little book of treasured stories has never been able to garner much interest of people. The 14 short stories are the most lovely take on the lives of people from all runs of life. This could only have been possible from a very observant and intelligent person, none other than Shashi Tharoor. And then, the theatrical fa...more

I always wanted to read a book authored by Shashi Tharoor. I grew up reading Enid Blyton, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, folklore and slowly graduated to Classics like David Copperfield and Romantic fiction like Mills and Boon and later to science fiction like Robin Cook.
This book is different. Intellectually stimulating. I loved the satire on society and hypocrisy in people he has so well portrayed through the stories. Reading 'The Five-Dollar Smile' gives me the freedom and flexibility to read th...more

I have been a huge fan of Shashi Tharoor's editorials in TOI and finally got to read this collection of short stories written when he was between the age of 19 - 25. Considering his literary prowess at that age, you can say that this book is a genius. But when you are awakened by the fact that it is written by the same man who stunned the English with his speech, you begin to realize that he had it in him since he was young. Some of the stories have great premises that I have never come across b...more
I enjoyed reading a few of the stories in this book, while the last play appeared more of a stretch. I must concede Shashi Tharoor's literary acumen is way beyond a layman’s grasp, but the fact that he uses the word ‘prophylactically’ tad too often put me off. My favorite story amongst all was ‘The Other Man’. I liked the way every word had been articulated in this simple writing. Rest all the stories, being about average, affected me only superficially.
I have always admired Shashi Tharoor and his orating skills fascinated me, which turned to be major reason to read him. His first publication of short stories, the age and era he penned them , the sensitivity that every story was portrayed holds you captive of the central emotion and makes you admire him even as a writer.

The book is a collection of stories written by Shashi Tharoor mostly in his teens. Each story evokes a different emotion ranging from nostalgia, frustration, sympathy....and so on. There is a variation in writing styles as well as the themes that run underneath these short stories. Its a journey through an evolving teen mind.
I actually read only three stories-Auntie Rita,Village Girl and The Professor's Daughter-of which I liked The Professor's Daughter best.The description of the professor was very engaging and the story line was different.
I probably expected too much nonetheless it's still a decent read.

As good as PG WODEHOUSE
fine collection of short stories of varying genres
Honest. Talks about everyday events, urges and emotions. What amazed me was the maturity of content coming out of a teenager. More like the courage to spit it out.
