About
From the winding hills of post-colonial Shimla to the rainy pavements of 1950s London, 'From curry to crumpets' is a delightfully wry memoir of a young Indian man finding his feet, and sometimes losing them, in a strange new land.
With gentle humour and vivid detail, the author recalls a lifetime of misadventures: from awkward dalliances and odd jobs to unlikely friendships and quiet triumphs. Each story is steeped in the sights, smells, and social codes of a rapidly changing England, seen through the eyes of someone who was often a rolling stone but somehow never left.
Threaded with affection for his family back in Shimla, this is a comic, heartfelt chronicle of a life, lived with quiet reflection, humorous interpretation set in the in-between spaces where identity is stitched together with equal parts confusion, curiosity, and charm.
