Don't judge a book by its cover. When a book lies among a hundred others on the shelf, it is the cover that first catches the eye. Thereafter the seduction of the reader is unabashed. through great graphics or visuals, maybe through an interesting title or through a controversial quote or a celeb author's photo or endorsement, the cover tries to get you to cough up the money and take the book home.

I have been lucky enough to live in several different cities of India. Having grown up in New Delhi, India my view of Mumbai (actually it was called Bombay then) was colored by a collage Bollywood cinema scenes from various movies from the black and white era to the times when color films were the norm. They would always show the millions of daily commuters who would cramp themselves in local suburban trains and spill out at Churchgate Railway Station or Victoria Terminus Railway station to get to their office in the commercial hub of India.
