So, P Sainath made fun of self help books yesterday. Very sophisticated joke he made about them.
Such a nice man.

Lavanya RaviIs this the P. Sainath that wrote Everybody Loves a Good Drought? I am currently reading it. It's pretty depressing. Only consolation (I tell myself) is it's from the mid-90s and that things may have gotten better now. Hide
Saurabh JLavanya same chap. Things have only gotten worse. I could never finish the book. He now tells the same tragedies humorously. So not as depressing in person.
Gouri ChughThat doesn't reduce the effect of his articles/stories that he compiled in the book, I am sure. Hide
Gouri ChughKartikay and I put an excerpt of his book in one of the Civics chapters. We wrote him a mail for permission. And he sent it! Hide
