About the Book

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE PAPERBACK VERSION OF THIS BOOK - ONE WITH BLACK AND WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS (£11.99), THE OTHER WITH COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS (£19.99). DUE TO THE COSTS OF PRINTING IN COLOR, BOTH CONTRIBUTE SIMILAR AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO ASHA. BOTH HAVE COLOR COVERS.Self-deprecating, self-aware and always thoughtful, this is the story of one man's blind date with the magnificent and terrible beauty that is India. With illustrations by Miki Lowe, it is an insightful, entertaining and beautiful book. All proceeds from it will be donated to the charity Asha who work with the poorest people in Delhi's society. *****For more details about this project, visit: https: //thedelhidispatch.com/*****"There was one major barrier between me and the Yoga studio: MG road. Along MG road flowed an unstoppable stream of cars, lorries, rickshaws, cows, pedestrians, bicycles, and a metro line. Google suggested that there was a place to cross the road half a kilometre from my house, but upon reaching the spot, I discovered the bitter truth: three white stripes of a zebra crossing, fading out into asphalt blackened by tyre marks and oil stains. Standing on the first of these white stripes was a lady whose head reached no higher than my elbow. She was wearing a green sari and holding a rusty bicycle. I decided that she was my best hope. As she stepped out into the flow of traffic, I tucked in close beside her."*****Arriving in India from London for an unexpected six-month work trip, Robbie Gilmore is excited and nervous. Above all, he wants to use his time to the full; to dive in, to experience and to learn about this fascinating, challenging and sometimes overwhelming country.This book tells of his adventures and mishaps as he tries to go beyond the tourist experience of India. It also shares his efforts to understand modern India through the lens of history, conscious always of his position as an outsider.*****All proceeds from this book will be donated to the charity Asha. The word "Asha" means "hope" in Hindi. Founded in 1988, Asha works with Delhi's poorest residents, giving people living in slum areas hope by allowing them to realise their potential, regardless of background, caste or religious beliefs. Since 1988, Asha has developed a strong track record in improving the lives of the urban poor and as a result, has won the respect and support of politicians in India and around the world. Asha believes that the key to tackling the poverty cycle lies in educated, healthy, empowered individuals who can transcend their personal circumstances and transform their own lives, their families and ultimately their communities. They currently work with around 900,000 people in more than 90 of Delhi's slum colonies. Asha were not involved in the writing of this book, or the design of the illustrations. As such, the contents of this book do not necessarily represent Ashas views, or anybody affiliated with Asha's work. The views in this book are those of the author's alone, and he takes full responsibility for them.
