About this book
A collection of short stories set in the final decades of the last millennium, offering a glimpse into a gentler time before smartphones, the Internet, and 24-hour TV. From a gardener in Bangalore to a gambler in Kathmandu, a civil servant in Sierra Leone to a salaryman in Delhi, these tales open new worlds and fresh perspectives on familiar places. Evoking emotions from surprise to sadness to joy, they invite readers to pause, escape the rush of modern life, and rediscover the magic of storytelling.
About this book
This collection is inspired by the many hours I spent walking in Lalbagh, having lived close by for many years, where I observed others like myself, as well as the flora and fauna that the park abounds in.
This set of stories, probably the first of its kind to be set in an iconic park in India, chronicles the eccentric adventures of a wide range of colourful characters in Lalbagh. You will wander through the park along with the bird-watcher, the singer, the chanter, the siddha and many others. Readers, especially those familiar with Bangalore or Lalbagh, will find these stories a joy to read.
