Freakonomics in Hindi

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything is a 2005 non-fiction book by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner. The book has been described as melding pop culture with economics, but has also been decried as "amateur sociology. There are couple of versions of the cover for this book. But what I had to do was a cover for the hindi translation of the book.

This would be my first non-english book ever. It was quiet a challenge since though the book is the same as the English one, it is meant for a different audience who speak a different language and have a different sensibility. And to add to that like all our regional language books, there was no money that I could spend for an image or illustration. In spite of all the confusion that we had about what the cover should be and what text it should have and all that, I enjoyed working on it. May be not the best cover but just the sheer idea of working with a different script than Roman was great.
