GOING STORIES OF KINSHIP

<p>Description</p><p>He had turned footloose moving from vihara to vihara an exile not from his faith so much</p><p>as from the times and a family is a part of the times... He wrote to his mother-it was some</p><p>years since he had seen her. He wanted to become a bhikshu he wrote.</p><p>A man drifts away from family and home and becomes a monk yet nothing fills the</p><p>void. The only constants are dreams and hallucinations where his mother sometimes</p><p>appears.</p><p>Another son retreats to his room then disappears. It has been ten years and the father</p><p>Sudhakar doesn't want to harbour false hope but the mother Hemlata clings to it.</p><p>Ardeshir and Firoza face a similar predicament. Only their daughter Arnavaz hasn't</p><p>gone missing; she lives with them even in her absence.</p><p>A woman half-estranged from her mother comes to visit her grandmother perhaps</p><p>for the last time.</p><p>The stories in this collection are among the finest explorations of family ties you will</p><p>read-ties that injure and heal; ties that can be everything yet never enough. Keki</p><p>Daruwalla a great poet of our time proves again that he is also a great master of the</p><p>short story. </p>
