Well this post is just about the travelogue I am reading. I just completed it.
It is titled " Smokes and mirrors" . It is authored by Pallavi Aiyar and It is about her seven years stay in china from 2004 onwards.
I was eagerly waiting for the book and eventually I found it my college library. I liked her articles which used to come in the Sunday Magazine which comes with the Sunday edition of The Hindu.
It deals with her experience living in China witnessing the change as china passed through events like SARS, The Beijing Olympics and everything.

Till now most of the travelogues we read are all written by western writers and It truly offers a different view of china. The view from the eyes of a Indian.
