I think it ironic that as I read Suketu Mehta's Maximum City, I have to begin preparing to choose between Bombay & Delhi as a more permanent nomadic base. Needless to say, the decision was much simpler than I first thought it might be. The book served to lend a vivid colour and imagery to my reasons.

Like Shantaram, this book too is a must read for anyone who has lived in Bombay. And for anyone who ever plans to: brace yourself, read it and then brace yourself again.
