Publisher's Synopsis
If It's Monday It Must Be Madurai: A Conducted Tour Of India was first written when author Srinath Perur made the mistake of going on a conducted tour of ten of the most famous sites in India. However, despite being very annoyed at his bovine compatriots and his sonorous tour-guide, he found that there was some merit in traveling in groups, and wrote down his experiences in the form of this book. Witty, Humorous, and insightful, it combines his science-based knowledge and heartfelt experiences to create a tableau of interesting descriptions and adventures. It was published as a hardcover novel by Penguin in 2013.If It's Monday It Must Be Madurai: A Conducted Tour Of India is written as a first person narrative, with reference to 10 really important tourist destinations in India: from the Camel rides in the Thar Desert to the music on the trail of Kabir in the North West, and the root bridges in Cherrapunji that are still growing. It follows not only the destinations but the state of travel and the behaviour of tourists in today's modern India.Key Features:The book and its writer have been featured in The Hindu several times.
