Overview: Half a Rupee Stories
A suicide bomber in a minor town plans out her final day, getting herself snapped before she goes & explodes up the prime minister. A drunkard in a Mumbai shanty-houses attempts to race with the heavy rain, even as it drenches his house away. An army person at the border's been so used to conversing over the wireless that he terminates every sentence with'Over!' And in the title story, a cop pulls a dead cow from Vinayak Rao Patwardhan Road to the adjoining Bapu Road, since the latter's so much easier to spell. From real-life tales about Javed Akhtar, Sahir Ludhianvi & Kuldip Nayyar to stories set in Kashmir, in the hinterland, in the modern megapolis & on the LoC, from small-stories of love & cheating to fables of bravery & conviction, this's an exciting collection available in English for the very foremost time.
