Side Please  (English, Hardcover, Madan Mohan)

Shailesh, a young Mumbaiite, dodges old men, lovers, buses and cars with the magic words, "Side please" as he rushes to catch his train to work...and back! On the day he takes the car out instead, he has to combat incredibly heavy rain and dangerous flooding to make sure he and his car don't drown. Will an eventful eight days of life in the city that never sleeps culminate in a potentially life changing decision? Read on to find out. Side Please is a humour-filled look at what life in a megapolis bursting at the seams puts its citizens through and how its citizens have nevertheless built a photo album's worth of memories in the process of eking out their existence. Side Please takes not only Mumbaiites but urbanites in general, especially those living in Indian cities, on a journey that is rollicking, rib-tickling and poignant in equal parts.
