Prepare to discover the unexpected in each of the fifteen short stories of this debut anthology. In English prose with an Indian touch we are treated to intriguing displays of humanity seen in the spark of romance, the flash of insecurity, the pain of ideological obsession as well as in flights of fancy and in pleasing circumstances. They offer a colorful tour of the world through the eyes and ears of the men and women next door, street thugs and prostitutes, politicians and journalists—characters to be found anywhere in the world—embodiments of the good, the bad and the ugly.
