Description
Sudhansu Mohanty’s sensitive stories convey intricate human relationships, yet they resonate with emotion and nostalgia – the basis of these seventeen short stories. The tete-a -tete of two senior bureaucrates captures the corrupt, nepotistic opportunism of Indian Babudom; a chance rendezvous with her former lover leads to nuanced possibilities in Suvra’s mind when reality suddenly jolts her; Shiela’s anguished life seems to find solace upon serendipitous spotting of black moles in her little toes; the benign diagnosis of a life-threatening disease brings out the remorse tucked inside the patients’s heart of a failed arranged marriage; a tele-talk encapsulates how wrongs are righted in the murky world of bureaucracy; divorced Malaika’s dream cross-stitches a passionate longing for the flesh; and a man’s dying wish conveyed to his wife to let the younger son light his funeral pyre affects all family equations beyond repair.
