I'll Follow the Sun

 
Akhil Bakshi (Author)
Synopsis

I'll Follow the Sun chronicles the author's journeys around the world and to the ends of the earth. Full of wit and satire, Bakshi's story-telling and embellishing descriptions of eccentric and heart-warming characters, remote and quirky places, and current and past events tickle the insides. Sit back and explore the mountains and lakes of New Zealand, the volcanoes of Bali, the ruins of Angkor. Take a train ride across the Tibetan Plateau or a stomach-churning drive into the secluded Nubra Valley. Get lost in the Lakshdweep Sea, track Osama in Afghanistan or bash the dunes of Arabia. Wander through the interiors of Scotland, Ireland and Iceland. See Caribbean from the comfort of a cruise ship or brace yourself for an exhilarating trek to Everest and Patagonia. And prepare to laugh - hard and often. Bakshi's astute, and at times refreshingly irreverent eye and penetrating observations skewer history and politics in a delightfully thought-provoking prose. An entertaining exploration of our mad - but beautiful - world, I'll Follow the Sun is full of surprises. Expect the unexpected - with humour and charm.
