You know when I first used to go back to india (3-4 year after coming to US), I used to be irritated by a lot of stuff there - the dirt, the crowd, the inefficiencies, how no one seems to be in any hurry. Now, I am fascinated by it - the crowd, the dirt, the inefficiencies , and how regardless of it all, things somehow work :) Yes, I did see the namesake (last year on a flight to India :) ) I liked the book even better.
