There is not such a place as these hills for the tongue of false report to wag about. Everybody thinks everybody else’s affairs to be more worth looking after than their own. If you have a friend or two to lunch, tea or dinner, the whole town is sure to know before noon next day what was on your table and who said or ate what. A fascinating illustrated insight into the society and culture of the stunning hill stations of the Indian Himalayas, the book reveals Ganesh Saili’s very personal collection of Gupp and Gossip from the foothills— a peep into their customs and behaviour.
