Shangvi- sly(imp) and provocative. Delights in his access to the drawing room and bedroom talk( never very deep/bright) of the upper crust of Bombay and being able to poke fun at them as an insider. Has the potential to go beyond the clichés that mar his prose but seems too lazy and unwilling to spend too much thought on taking his work to the next level. Not completely entranced by new age thinking on love and the good life but unable to stake out a place for alternative thinking and a lifestyle that is very different from that portrayed on the third page or that peddled by gurus. Has the contempt for the material life of the rich man who has not worked too hard for his money.
