Join us for an evening with Sam Miller, a former BBC correspondent to Delhi and author of ‘Dehli - Adventures in a Megacity’, where he sets out to discover the real city, a place he describes as being 'India's dreamtown - and its purgatory'. A bestseller in India, this book is part travelogue and part history where the obvious ports of call such as the imperial buildings and the celebrities of modern Delhi make only a passing appearance. Through his encounters with Delhi's people - from a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant, from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Band - Miller creates a richly entertaining portrait of what Delhi means to its residents, and of what kind of city it is becoming.
