I thought Chetan made more fun of Punjabi's rather than Tamilian. One reason could be that his wife Anusha is his first proof reader and he didn't want to mess around by making fun of her community too much!😆
PS: Some of his observations made in the book regarding Tamilians (and Punjabi's too) are pretty on the spot, though!
I am a Tamilian too and I agree with both of you. I am not at all silent or quite...I am a completely vivacious and talkative girl. I dance quite often for no reason too and my mom calls me MAD !!😆
When I read the book's summary, I thought it would be something like Ek Duje Ke Liye, sad and lovely...but it was NOTHING like that...this book was just quirky and sooo much fun.
No matter how many times I read, I never get tired of it ! 😃
Many of his observations are quite true and when I see those happening right in front of my eyes, I just burst of laughing. But ya...the book was just super-awesome. 👏
P.S. The interview was well answered.
