About The Book

It did feel strange to see her lying cold and silent and then being carried away . . . But at the back of my mind was this growing anticipation-Sanjiv Maama was taking me to Mumbai! When Gopals mother dies his uncle brings him to Mumbai to get a job because he has few prospects as a Dalit boy in a UP village. Gopal is cast into the unfamiliar world of Squatters Colony where he has no family or friends. He gets his first job at the bicycle shop owned by the sage Chacha and rapidly makes friends with the strange and diverse people who live in the community-Chachas friendly daughter-in-law the neighbourhood thug Raja the three-legged Tiger and beautiful Ayesha. And he learns that when disaster strikes and lives fall apart he too has a family in the gully.Zarin Virjis gripping debut describes the raw rollicking life of Mumbais small neighbourhoods with vigour and zest.
