    About this ebook

    If you are looking for entertainment, humour and wit, then this is the book for you. The anecdotes are scintillating, funny and diverse: about chocolates, Bollywood heroes, the 2012 Olympic Games, the Urdu Virus and many more. The serious side deals with politics, religion, covid-19, science and much more. If you do not cry tears of laughter or sorrow after reading this book, then one of us has no sense of humour or capacity for deep thought. Read this book to discover who that person might be.

    I have an honours degree in Mathematics from the Open University and taught in Scotland before gaining an M.A. in English Literature. I taught English to O Level International GCSE Cambridge students for 14 years in Pakistan and was Head of Department there. My Haiku on Cultural Diversity is published in UNESCO’S Cultural Report 2000. My story of Big Samson The Big Lion (in a much shorter form) was accepted for publication by Oxford University Press, but never published for technical reasons. Currently, I have published about 12 e-books on the teaching of English, novels, short stories and poetry. My Spelling book was ranked number 1 in its category on Amazon. My interests include chess, badminton, bridge and astronomy. (Pervaiz Salik)
