This is a really funny book that I finished reading recently. A must-read for those who love to laugh while reading. The protagonist is a small-town Indian guy called Gopal who goes to the US of A for higher studies. The entire novel revolves around the clash of cultures and mannerisms between Gopal and various Americans with whom he makes acquaintances. There are very comical ‘Indian’ interpretations of various situations that the protagonist comes across daily in his new American life thanks to the ‘small-town innocence’ that he portrays. His thought process is so fast and hilarious that you will say to yourself a million times, “Oh, my God!! This guy is unbelievable! “
