A travelogue, written in a simple narrative, of a journey the author undertook around the 5000 mile (7000km) coast of India, rediscovering his country after a long time away from her shores. It is a bittersweet tale of finding himself at odds with several alien cultures, and putting across what he sees clearly and bluntly without embellishment as he follows a long coastline of stunning beauty mixed with shocking defilement.
