About the book

P, J and K are caught in a web of love, lust and need through which Paro attains a deeper understanding of the man–woman relationship. A writer gets an anonymous phone call from a woman named Rain every night. Bradley Hudson, an Anglo-Indian railways employee, elopes with Munni Begum. However, true understanding of love dawns on him when Munni Begum's attendant, Longlatti, tends to him devoutly in his twilight years. As Joel attends to his comatose father Rafael Tigga, Rafael's entire life unfolds on a canvas of penury in a tribal landscape rife with conversion to Christianity as the people's sole redemption. An astounding collection of stories, Pahar Dopahar Thumri is an exploration of the human psyche against the backdrop of modern life, language and sensibilities.
