Description

This is a book of short stories that are basically subtle and universal human experiences, sometimes so much part of our daily life that we take it all for granted. They are presented in first person although it's not strictly biographical in that the author has cleverly mixed up events and added imaginary details to make the stories interesting. They are all located in India, and some/most of them pertain to an Indian way of life. From the bald phone booth man in Kolkata who does not like "South" Indians, to a Madi Maami who will not touch Christians but gets confused when she starts loving one, to a strange journey in a train where ticketless travelers have their say in a most bizarre way, the book goes back and forth delighting its readers with itsy bitsy morsels of delectable human nature and its quaint foibles, the way a sweet shop owner will present you with lovely white spongy rosagollas in a lotus leaf if you ever to go to Kolkata. The author, by the way, is a Tamilian who is born and brought up in Kolkata, married to a typical South Indian and having traveled around India, especially the East Coast, is now settled in Chennai, Tamilnadu.
