Description

The 10 stories in this collection are a passionate philosophical exploration of life in contemporary India. They are set against the country's fast changing social fabric by the valorization of issues of caste, community, religion and gender that flowed in to take the place of and to fill the gap left the 'big cause' - nationalism and colonization - of an earlier era. They lay an ear to the pulse of change and excitement as it crisscrosses and enmeshes with intimate and personal lives of ordinary people, men and women engrossed in the business of living. They are about a new morality and more that in spite of ourselves has taken over and brought new life to a generation and a race. The leitmotif is aptly captured in the title. At once it invokes the romance of modern life in India and also expresses the intense search for rapport and rhythm in the personal relations.
