Description
A cluster of 7 literary short stories presenting the romantic-sexual facets of:
Narain who lusts for Munika, Old Jaganlal who wants a favour from young Dia, Jackie who is in love with Nic. A surgeon who is changing more than a patients hairline, nose, lip and chin. Shonali and Neel who are realizing that infidelity might not be such an easy thing. A woman who walks the tight rope between tradition and sexual exploitation, and Sunil who meets the woman of his desires through an adult dating site.
Through these stories, Rochelle Potkar explores the intensely personal unrelationship that exists alongside its conventional and socially articulate twin, the relationship.

The book is a quick read and can be easily finished in one sitting. Although, I would suggest you to read one story a day and take time to appreciate the writing.

Each story, though has lust as an integral element, has a deeper meaning. Readers can find romance, love, happiness and sadness in these stories.
