May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss

May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss is the right book to read if you appreciate humor and satire. It's a funny documentary of things that any individual growing up in an Indian society during the 80s and the 90s would come across. It talks of the simple things you saw around you, terrorism, NRIs, frustrated engineers (and men in general), politics, weddings, the television industry, Bollywood, and more. It's a collection of essays you will highly enjoy reading, knowing that impressionable minds could do with some great perspective on societal issues. Sadly, the only issues that were missing were perhaps Rakhi ka Swayamvar and Himesh Reshammiya . The book was totally worth my time, money, and expectations.
