This book, "The Times of Paths," collects nearly two dozen essays by Harishankar Parsai, Hindi's most powerful and popular satirist.
Almost all of these essays have been published in leading magazines like "Nayi Kahaniyaan," "Dharmayug," and "Gyanodya." The essay titled "The Times of Paths," after which the entire book is named, reveals the burning truth of today: everyone is in the pursuit of shortcuts.
Thus, each essay in this book offers a witty satire on some aspect of today's reality.
A hallmark of Parsai's writing is that he doesn't write merely for humor or satire.
All his writings are purposeful, and behind each work is a clear, scientific outlook on life, constantly vigilant in shining a light on the evils prevalent in society, such as corruption, hypocrisy, opportunism, superstition, and communalism.
Despite its lighthearted tone, each essay offers insight into the complex circumstances of today.
Therefore, this book is a musthave for those interested in understanding the realities of today.
