Zahra,

The underlining was done by Chowk editors not by moi!
It is a good book and you should read it--it highlights, more than anything else, how culturally British we desis who`ve grown up in the UK actually are in practise.

The characters have next to nothing in common with desis who actually are from the Subcontinent.

aSiF,

Hi. The story sounds interesting, but the underlines are killing my eyes. You could you have used italics or quotes :) Thanks for sharing the latest dilemma of the Britsih youth :)

Asif,looks like an interesting book.Thanks for the review.
I dont understand the need for balance.It is a story and he can be as ``unbalanced`` as he wants to.
