'Whit' is one of the funniest books that I have ever read.
The founder of the cult Salvador is Scottish, who has been rescued by two Indian women. These ladies have a holy of hollies, much like a Communion wafer, which is something called 'slonjish', a hardened and brownish paste like substance. It is taboo to touch slonjish, or even to cast a look at it. As usual with such things in every religion nobody knows the reason why.
I thought about this slonjish, after all it did sound like Hindi, what could it be? And then I had this Eureka moment, it struck me, I thought of that old medicament, Sloans Liniment, used by everyone here in India for various ailments, a sort of a rub to ease aches and pains. In Hindi, it is corrupted to slonjish. This was hilarious. Considering that Salvador has two wives who are from India there is a lot of fusion cooking, Haggis Pakora and Neeps Bhaji.
Funny though the book is, it takes a hard look at sects sprouting all over the world, with their complicated rules, their intricate traditions.
Being an Indian did not help me understand the book, not at all, but it helped me laugh deeply and heartily at stuff like slonjish, the fusion Haggis Pakora and Neeps Bhaji.
