Vinod Mehta is one of India’s most widely-read and influential editors who has successfully launched a number of publications, from the now legendary Sunday Observer to the weekly newsmagazine Outlook. This candid memoir, with its ringside view of the major events of our times, brims over with wit, wisdom, scandal and gossip. Running through the memoir is Mehta’s account of his struggles for editorial independence through his nearly four-decade-long tryst with Indian journalism.
