From initially sounding 'silly in Silicon Valley to gradual close encounters with the inscrutable, enigmatic Americans, Prakash's keen eye notes the bizarre and the beautiful in these interactions. From American arranged marriages to the peculiarities of splitting up in the Silicon Valley, from the travails of asylum seeking taxi drivers, to accompanying Dr. Kalam to a Space congress, this collection includes hilarious, heartwarming and sometimes poignant vignettes of the Indian-American interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788122007657\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.1 x 0.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retail Maharaj","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66921380413744,"sku":"DRG.KonarkPublishers_8122007651","price":143.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/21JYxZtht7L.jpg?v=1781089533","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/clueless-in-california-america-in-bits-and-bytes","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
