Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

An economist, urban theorist, environmentalist, and writer, Sanjeev Sanyal grew up between Kolkata, Sikkim and Delhi before heading off to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Sanjeev spent most of his adult life battling international financial markets. One day in 2008, mostly on a whim, he decided to move back to India and travel all over the country with his family for a couple of years. This resulted in his second book, The Land of Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India s Geography. In 2011, he took up a role as the global strategist of one of the world s largest banks. He also spent the next few years exploring the Indian Ocean rim, which resulted in The Ocean of Churn: How the Indian Ocean Shaped Human History. Currently Sanjeev lives in Delhi where he serves as the principal economic adviser to the Indian government.
