Description
Here is a wonderful introduction to the residents of Firozsha Baag, an apartment complex in Bombay. We enter the daily routine and rhythm of their lives, and by the time we reach the final story we are as familiar with the people of Firozsha Baag as we are with our own neighbours. The crowded, throbbing life of India is brilliantly captured in this series of stories.

Admirable
I recently started reading this book and was floored by the simplicity and "humane"ness of the book. It touches various aspects of human relations and does it quite well. Since all the short stories have similar characters you tend to see it as a novel than short stories. I recommend it to everybody who likes reading short stories which are, to be simplistic, "plain and simple"

It's collection of interrelated 11 short stories which depicts the parsis as minority community...their nostalgia, anguish and anxiety. These short stories are presenting the microcosm of the world that is Mumbai.
