One of my favourite jokes on Lucknow goes like this. An itinerant traveller gets down from the train on the Lucknow Railway station and lands into a beggar. The beggar asks for Rs 5 to have a cup of tea. The traveller knows that a cup of tea costs Rs . He points out the same to the beggar.
"Aap nahi peejiyega kya? (Won't you it be having it as well?)," the beggar replies. The joke reveals the famous tehzeeb of Lucknow.

In this book, Nasreen Munni Kabir talks to Gulzar and the conversations bring out how Sampooran Singh Kalra became Gulzar. Gulzar talks with great passion about his various creative pursuits in life. From writing the superhit kajrare to what he thinks about Tagore's English translations. If I had a choice of reading only one book all through this year, this would have to be it.

Vinod Mehta's Lucknow Boy starts with his childhood days in Lucknow and the tehzeeb it had and it lost over the years. The first eighty pages the book are a beautiful account of Mehta's growing up years in the city and how he and his friends did things with not a care in the world. Childhood back then was about being children, unlike now.
High Point's first graders will be hitting the books this month in a friendly nose to tail competition for their first annual read-a-thon. The goal? Raise as much money as they can to fund their favorite charity, Hand in Paw. This is no ordinary fundraiser! The proceeds will go towards financing a blankets and biscuits workshop at the end of the month. While their delicious dog biscuits are baking in the kitchen, these enterprising students will also design and sew blankets for the four-legged residents of Hand in Paw in Monrovia, California.
This little book running into 685 pages was to me the surprise package of this year. The book is along the lines of international bestsellers like Freakonomics and The Undercover Economist. It uses economic theory and borrows heavily from the emerging field of behavioural economics to explain why India and Indians are the way they are.
This is a great collection of series. I love the Rookie Read About Series! Some of these are new to me too. Thanks for the ideas!
