This year as part of my 52 challenges for the year, I began a practice that I soon hope to transform into a tradition. Writing letters, old school style with a pen and paper.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Khushwant Singh is somewhat of an Indian literary legend.

This book was one of his earlier works and as such has been considered a classic and a must read for any Singh aficionado.
