A Politburo member, a second-generation Congressman and a bureaucrat-turned-BJP MP shed ideological baggage to form a new political outfit. That is how this book ends. Before this, they shed their outfits.
In a progressive/democratic alliance struck between the sheets, a firebrand woman MP, impressed with a TV appearance in one instance and a speech in Parliament defending the civil nuclear deal in another, chats up a political adversary and accepts his invitation for a drink at a Delhi hotel. Sparks fly, conversations turn cosy and ideologies melt before you can say global warming.
Not that the merry troika is oblivious to the world around it. Round-the-clock television, SMS alerts and news websites are the staple diet for the young, urbane MPs. So, if you wanted a primer on the genesis of Hindu terror in the late 2000s, or the middle class's denouement after 26/11, or the Hyde Act, author Tuhin Sinha's take on events of national importance will provide you a peek.
A minor editing quibble: “Aditya thinks of me as his girlfriend. The mismatch makes us converse about everything under the sun, expect us.” Uh-oh.
