In search of everything desi
The Hindu
Sundeep Bhutoria’s ‘The Global Desi’, is an account of his travels abroad looking for Indian connections
Author Sundeep Bhutoria’s book The Global Desi: Reflections on Home and Away is a compilation of his travel memoirs; made unique by his constant search for the Indian connect. Be it Norway, Poland or Chile, Sundeep manages to search for and connect with people of Indian origin (PIO), wherever he travels. The book takes readers on a journey of discovery ― of places and people, with India at its very heart. Be it a quirky café in Brazil or a glimpse of Rajasthan in Rome, be it a commentary on social etiquette (or lack thereof) during a pandemic, the book has it all in equal measure. By virtue of being a social activist working in social welfare, international cultural cooperation and promotion of Indian arts, Sundeep travels a lot. Driven by love and need for his daily fix of desi khana, he looks for it everywhere he goes. The author of seven books says, “My search for Indian places to dine is because I am a vegetarian who completely relies on desi khana. The search for my comfort food, led to look for and meet PIO and get to know their life in a foreign land. Many interesting stories emerge on account of this and that one contact leads to several others.” Sundeep’s book takes readers through a discovery of places and people with India in their heart.
