Deccan ChronicleThe book begins in Dubai on January 17, 2014 — the worst day in Shiv Pushkar Menon’s life, the day his mother Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor was found dead at a Delhi hotel. But every contact led me to another, and I consider the Canada chapters in the book as the most fascinating and interesting one.” Another interesting chapter is ‘The Only Man I truly Loved’, where Mehta describes Pushkar’s life with her second husband Sujith Menon about whom not much is known. “Wherever the police was not forthcoming with information, which was almost always, I filed RTI applications.” Mehta credits her streamlining skills to her 25 years in journalism, which trained her to look into both sides of a story, comprehend significant documents and write in an unbiased, sensitive and sensible manner, even as she attributes the book’s tight structure and elegant tone to her book editor Teesta Guha Sarkar’s careful handling of the narrative. Those pictures kept haunting me.” When Mehta embarked on this, many were apprehensive whether Pushkar’s life merited a book.
