The author has spent his life in many parts of the state, with a wide variety of people. These stories talk about what people are curious about, what they search for, wherever they are. They are filled with characters who are loyal to the truths they find. Our relationships are never exclusively with those who share love, but they are often exchanges of vulgarities as well. Aravind has managed to capture the essence of such exchanges in his stories.

This book is raw and real and these people can be anyone truly. It is ...

Before a week had passed, the place began to exert a weird fascination upon me. It is difficult to describe or to induce people to believe; but I felt as if the whole house was like a living organism slowly and imperceptibly digesting me by the action of some stupefying gastric juice. Perhaps the process had begun as soon as I set my foot in the house, but I distinctly remember the day on which I first was conscious of it.

With this diverse collection of short stories, Manik Bal continues to explore the bizarre in the mundane, and the mundane in the bizarre. Exploring seemingly ordinary characters as a caretaker of a shared accommodation, a construction supervisor, and an out of job stay at home husband, every story weaves a heady cocktail of ordinary and unbelievable.
