“Ajai Tripathi is a clear-eyed and incisive observer of the world around him. The poetry of his prose comes not from flowery language but from the precision of his vision and his passion for justice. You can always feel/hear his brain wrestling with the question at hand, never resting in its search for an ever-elusive answer.” -Bobby Bermea
