Where no literary gymnastics were attempted...just good old storytelling👌 A poignant tale of family bonds, self discovery, forbidden relationships and discovering a new foreign way of life and feeling like you're home. Set partly in Bangalore and a Kashmir mountain village, Vijay writes a simple yet wholesome story that keeps you engaged till the very last page.
