its again a piece of good contemporary writing which starts from the foothills that's the lowest range of protecting Himalayas to the Newyork's restaurant kitchen.The most important thing about the book is the feel,honesty and warmth which is being cultivated by the author.But the most miserable thing about the author is to cut down the story to 1/6th of the original manuscript,this version is morever interesting and quite afffordable.No need to put on the high expences for the book worth for to be read.From this you can know the difference between two places and the originality of life for which someone might be searching for .the morals ,values ,traditions,culture are the all things of which man is known
