Description
Chennai, where a boy has to choose between magic and trickery; Delhi, where a doctor cures a case of Acute Rhymitis; Colombo, where a child of the slums loses his only companion – his beloved cat…
Frequently nostalgic, often humorous and sometimes grim, these stories from India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, are about ten cities and the people who inhabit them.
