The book is neither pulp fiction nor a serious treatise its inimitable literary humour comes naturally to this first time author. Praising the book, Amitabh Bachchan recently blogged, "While on culture and arts and literature, I was wanting to bring to the attention of all my EF, a marvelous book written by Vipul Mittra, secretary tourism, Gujarat with whom I had the great pleasure of spending most of my time during the making of the Gujarat Tourism films. It's a refreshing and humorous rendition on life in bureaucracy in India. Says the senior IAS officer, "It is very gratifying to find one's work being widely appreciated. A lot of back-breaking routine goes into writing any book, particularly when you are not a fulltime writer but hold busy responsibilities that can at times stifle your creativity. But the end result has been very satisfying."
