I am enjoying this collection of essays, poetry, and short fiction so much that I acquired a copy of my own. I am offering this copy in ApoloniaX's South Asian VBB.

I discovered that this anthology was originally published in the US as Sulekha Select: the Indian Experience in a Connected World, a title which more accurately describes the writings within ('sulekha' means 'good writing', or even 'well-written' in English). This edition, published in India, bears the title Black, White, and various shades of Brown: the Best of Sulekha.com. I am a bit put off with this title, perhaps because of the emphasis on color rather than on the writing, which reflects such a rich, multi-layered experience of Desis at home and abroad at the dawn of the 21st century. I hope that once readers open the cover and begin reading, they will be entertained and enlightened, as i was.

Thanks, J4Shaw, for sharing this book with me. I hope it will touch many more hearts in its ongoing journey.

It is funny when you sometimes totally unintentionally read several books about the same theme in a short period of time. This was the third in a row about India. The short stories very interesting, some of them were real gems. It was an interesting glimpse into a culture and society that is pretty much unknown to me.
