About the book

A love poem in Engglishhh, a new language that has numerology as its guiding principle, a mascot clown who yearns to explore a city of animate beings, a purveyor-director of porn who bamboozles his hesitant leading lady with highfalutin oratory, a building watchman who counts the seconds to death – Altaf Tyrewala has an uncanny ability to write the streets and mindscapes of Mumbai, the city he first captured in prose as nobody else had in No God in Sight, and more recently in verse, in Ministry of Hurt Sentiments.His words are sharp with irony and each story is slashed through with deftly satirical insights into the ways of men and the worlds they inhabit.
