India Smiles : Winning Entries from the Sulekha Humour Contest, Used [Hardcover]

In 2005, Sulekha, the largest online community connecting Indians worldwide, offered a unique opportunity to writers - The India Smiles contest. Writers were invited to submit a humorous piece of writing, fiction or non-fiction. Over a million members of Sulekha's global community helped shortlist sixty entries out of the five thousand received. A distinguished panel of judges then selected the three best entries with the outstanding entry among them receiving one lakh rupees and the two runners-up receiving ten thousand rupees each. This volume brings together the best of the submissions. Real-life accounts of desperate parents lining up potential sons-in-law for unconventional NRI girls, young mothers struggling to make sense of their suddenly topsy-turvy lives, droll accounts of the unintentionally funny collision between technology and tradition, these are unpretentious, tongue-in-cheek stories, sure to bring a smile to your face.
