Piggies on the railway - Smita Jain

As refreshing as a good gossip session.
Can write, Can't fill loopholes.
She writes for movies and hindi serials - that would have usually put her into the behenji with good punch dialogue talent slot. She isn't by any means. Introducing us to Katie Kumar, a designer clad, bollywood mad, sexually liberated (what better way to show sexual liberation than an affair with a married man) PI. And where there is a PI, there is a crime and this whodunit twists and turns around Mumbai and surroundings, through lesbians, gay men, transsexuals and a groin tattoo to reach its twister ending. There are a whole lot of stuff that is unexplained. A whole lot of twists that seemed forced and a hurried ending but we forget all that in the hail of chuckles at the heroine's expense.

You will surely enjoy delving into the superficial recesses of Mumbai grime and come out feeling like you had a rambling and not too illuminating, mindless gossip session with a long lost friend. 

Take it on a long railway trip.
