Description
A cup of hot chai and crisp pakoras. That’s just what we need when the grey clouds gather and the monsoon sets in. and like that perfect cup of tea, which varies from person to person, this anthology attempts to be different things to different people. The stories, written by twelve Indians, showcase Brand India today – proudly global yet sometimes pitifully parochial.
We hope, that like that good cup of chai, you will find these stories refreshing energizing… and to your taste.
