An entertaining and surprising ride through an India you thought
you knew Sanjeev Sanyal, bestselling author of Land of the Seven
Rivers, returns to enthral readers with a collection of unusual
stories. Written with Sanjeev's trademark flair, the stories
crackle with irreverence and wit. In 'The Troll', a presumptuous
blogger faces his undoing when he sets out to expose an Internet
phenomenon. In the title story, a young man loses his job in the
financial crisis and tries to reset his life over two beers. In
'The Intellectuals', a foreign researcher spends some memorable
hours with Kolkata's ageing intellectuals. From the vicious
politics of a Mumbai housing society to the snobberies of Delhi's
cocktail circuit, the stories in Life over Two Beers get under the
skin of a rapidly changing India-and leave you chuckling.
Maps and mountains, lions and tigers, rivers and oceans-all sorts
of things you didn't know about India's geography Could you be

the book for you. In here you will discover various things you
never expected, such as the fact that we still greet each other
like the Harappans did or that people used to think India was full
of one-eyed giants. And sneakily you'll also know more about
India's history and geography by the end of it. Full of quirky
pictures and crazy trivia, this book takes you on a fantastic
journey through the incredible history of India's geography.
