A Whiff of Whimsy is just that—a collection of entertaining pieces on disparate subjects, ranging

from personal foibles, social mores and current events to dysfunctional domesticity, pet peeves and

growing old. The common threads of whimsy, sarcasm and amusing observations about human

nature and urban life run through them.

K.C. Verma finds much to be joyous about in everyday life—from ageing gracefully to the ambiguous

détente with the ‘little woman’. Besides heaping scorn on whatever he considers unacceptable conduct

on the part of the rest of the world, he does not shy away from ridiculing the quirky behaviour

of total strangers, neighbours and even his relatives. The charming narration of the improbable

situations that Verma finds himself in is guaranteed to strike a sympathetic chord with readers

across different age groups.

A Whiff of Whimsy is an eclectic mix of opinions and satire, as also impish observations about the

not-so-simple business of leading humdrum lives. It will leave you with a good feeling, and a sense

of having been on a highly enjoyable journey.
