From one of India's most original and audacious writers, Uday Prakash, come three stinging and comic tales, of living and surviving in today's urban, globalised India. In 'The Walls of Delhi', a sweeper discovers a cache of black money and escapes to see the Taj Mahal with his underage mistress; in 'Mohandas', a dalit races to reclaim his life stolen by an upper-caste identity thief; and finally, in 'Mangosil', a slum baby's head gets bigger and bigger as he gets smarter and smarter, while his family tries to find a cure.
