Synopsis

This collection of short fiction has been written over a period of two decades. The stories do not belong to any particular genre . They could vary from addressing issues of national import to dealing with the trivia of everyday life. As with much of short fiction each story is a snapshot. Yet the attempt is to make each as complete as possible. In a sense the stories are a commentary on the India of today - it's strengths, it's weaknesses, it's frailties, it's eccentricities, it's idiosyncrasies.
