An old man travels from the Bombay of his time to the Mumbai of his sons time. In the ever burgeoning, consumerist and irreverent city where time stops for none, he begins to miss the absence of cuckoos in a park that had existed once in the neighbourhood. The opening story in this collection Shikar sets the tone for the vignettes that follow rendered in voices that marvel at the changes that overcome people and places in transit from one generation to another.
