Syed Amjad Ali is an advertising professional and this book marks his debut as a writer. This book highlights the unintentional mistakes and the hilarious consequence which arises due to social divisions. This book is a genuine attempt to portray an average Indian Muslim’s life (the good the bad and the ugly). This book is a result of heartfelt work put in by Syed Amjad Ali. When you go through the book you would come across the examples and real-life instances that occurred with the author and his known once. The example quoted are hilarious and will leave you laughing but when you ponder a bit it seems odd and painful. For us its just might be a simple mistake but we change and challenge some else’s identity. The different chapters of book take us sequentially through the journey of our ignorance and this book in particular helps us changing our notion.
Syed Amjad Ali has done a brave work in breaking the myth around the Muslim community and also tells us the different factor affecting a Muslim’s life. All the issues discussed in various chapters are quite relevant and notions against them still prevails in the society. I have been enlightened and enriched with knowledge by the means of this book. It is light hearted read which deals with issue of social and religious matter and delivers a message with ease. Amjad Ali grasp of knowledge is phenomenal. Overall a good read
