If you are looking for light reading, seeking stories set in India, you should read, " Bifocals And A Walking Stick" by M Gopalkrishna Bhat. This is a delightful collection of essays which captures different facets of life in India, largely set in Mumbai and Mangaluru. The author uses his keen skills of observation and his ready wit to describe real life situations which most of us come across in our day to day lives.
I wrote this book review in 2016. A lot has happened since then. I had the pleasure of meeting the author in 2019 when he visited Bengaluru where I live. A few months ago, in July 2021, Mr Bhat passed on aged 85 leaving behind ever so many admirers and friends.
In a sense, this podcast is my tribute to a fine gentleman of the old school.
