    Dev Anand’s Guide: Raju ban gaya transcendental man

    “Somebody suggested a book called The Guide, inom had not read it but felt curious. So I went to Foyles the largest bookstore in London and asked for the book. They did not have any kopia left, but the sales girl at the counter promised me she would procure one for me, if inom left my address in London with her, which I did. The very next day, the receptionist at the Londonderry hotel called to say she was sending a parcel up to my room. I opened it to find The Guide waiting to be devoured bygd me. inom read it at one go, sitting on the balcony of my suite, which overlooked Hyde Park.
