Sandip Jones (1989 - ) is not even remotely authentic. Belongs to a community which follows caste endogamy and family exogamy, a phrase and the meaning of the phrase which still continues to elude him. Born and brought up in Bangalore and in a military household, discipline and respect to authority was always a concern to him even after gaining two degrees from Bangalore University. He is averse to travelling and is more opinionated than the new age agony aunt. His first book The Manhood Recall is a recollection of the times spent in Bangalore during childhood and dedicated to the unnecessary involvement of a couple of his friends from school who have trickled on to adolescence and his manhood days.
