Urban - Middle class India - in the new millennium. Ten short stories, told simply, with economy and brevity, in the style of classical writers in the mould of R.K. Narayan and Premchand. Stories of ordinary people you will recognize and identify with, People you almost know. Ten casts of characters, ten life situations with the common thread that the characters in each setting are ranged in seriously conflicting positions against one another. Look again and you see that these very native appearing dilemmas are really global and timeless. Strung together these stories open our eyes to a reality we should not be ignorant of, nor ignore facing.
