Short Stories |
A mother and son tussle about what happens after death; one of them is about to be proved spectacularly wrong. A motley tour group tries (and fails) to get along on a foreign holiday. Senior citizens wrestle with social media with side-splitting results. A bad mood snowballs into a full-blown crisis by sunset. A forgotten toy is rediscovered, resurrected, and even revered after years. A boyhood passion turns into a man’s most enduring love… In Aiyyo, What Will the Neighbours Say?, everyday moments are turned inside out and upside down. With her signature quirky humour and razor-sharp observation, the author spins 13 delightful tales that are as funny as they are thought-provoking. Each story ends with an unforeseen twist—sometimes ironic, sometimes tender, always clever. And just when you think you’ve moved on, a familiar face pops up again, threading one story to the next in this witty, wildly entertaining portrait of contemporary Indian life and human failings and motivations.
