"A master writer reflecting on his illustrious career on his 70 th birthday, a half-gold mongoose searching for perfection across ages, an aging painter trying to outdo the emerging craft of photography, an avatar choosing to go back to his reality, a government clerk who stumbles upon the theory of everything, a mysterious lady doomed to kill anyone who have her, an autoriksha driver haunted by the memory an accident that cost him his daughter- Crossing Over deals with stories of people transcending the outer layers of life and going deeper in search of meaning. As they cast aside the crosses of their lives and embark on new journeys their lives become treatises on how the stream of life finds a way around each obstacle and run through the many paths of redemption before it finds the ultimate salvation. With themes ranging from unabashedly nostalgic to mundanely realistic and from engagingly mystical to unapologetically absurd these stories seek to make the reader reaffirm his faith on life and literature."
