Badri, a rich old man, incapable of enjoying his great wealth, grieved by his never-ending wait for the rains, in a drought-ridden town. Jason, a near-forgotten war hero, who dares searching for love in a woman half his age. Jennifer, a drunk and extravagant landlady who believes that her dead daughter still lives. A govt employee tortured by the memory of a murder he committed. An office clerk looking for redemption and courage. Edna,a ghost who falls for a living man. Ganga, an aging prostitute divided between love and work, in the unforgiving underbelly of Mumbai. Dark, funny, chilling, heartbreaking, inspiring, there are many such lives, names, and tales in this carefully crafted collection of short stories by Dhruv Sharma, that will grip you till the very end.
