These charming portraits of young girls living far from home, `secure` in their illicit relationships, of young men full of RSS swagger, of old women waiting late in the night for their grown-up children to come home, capture the lives of ordinary people in vivid and varied hues. Spread across the socio-economic spectrum, these stories are like snapshots of interesting faces in a crowd; faces around whom the author deftly sketches lives and longings, pet ideas and prejudices, loves and hates with bold, confident strokes. From `Ganesha`, the story of a middle-class housewife waiting for her son to return at night and thinking of her other son who died in a road accident, to `A Game of Cards` about a young urban woman sunning herself on the beach, these pithy sketches are a colourful montage of modern Indian life.
