In his new book, Indiaýs pre-eminent humorist turns to the subject of domestic help, and brings us ten hilarious stories about some memorably idiosyncratic people. The tales are put together by Ganesh, a freelance journalist trying to write a feature article on servants he has known. As his chronicle progresses, what emerges is a richly embellished narrative starring unforgettable characters. There is Swami, the cook, who finds his true vocation as a godman; Kumar, who deserts his household duties to pursue his tinsel-town dreams; Anthony the driver who makes money on the side by giving lifts to strangers; the maid Shanti, whose life is thrown into turmoil by the neighbourýs servant who is besotted with her; and Ramaswami, a trusted retainer who reappears mysteriously, much to the consternation of his employer, long after he has been presumed drowned.Marked by Laxmanýs trademark wit, and including pencil sketches drawn specially for this edition, Servants of India is a delightful read.
