About the Book
In this captivating collection of stories set in the bustling cities of Kolkata and Delhi, Shuma Raha delves into the complexities of modern Indian life. Each tale explores themes of love, betrayal, superstition, sexuality, and the unspoken desires that lie beneath the surface of everyday existence. From the rumour that leads to a devastating calamity to the girl demonized for her ‘evil’ horoscope, and from a train journey that forces a woman to reevaluate her marriage to the inner life of a shop girl, these narratives are as dark as they are revealing.
Raha’s characters are deeply embedded in the urban, aspirational world of contemporary India, where social snobbery and a relentless rat race coexist with undercurrents of class and religious conflicts. Whether dark or humorous, satirical or poignant, these stories encapsulate the unpredictable chaos of life, painting an intense snapshot of modern India.
