Pavitra in Paris: Stories for Life<\/h3>\n

Toronto: Greengardens Media, 2013.<\/p>\n

Publisher’s Synopsis<\/h4>\n

Pavitra in Paris<\/em> is a powerhouse collection of 11 short stories that take the reader on a roller coaster journey from dazzling New York City to remote Indian villages with stopovers at Seattle, Vancouver, Paris, Bamiyan, Jaipur, New Delhi, Patna and Mumbai.
\nIn the title story, a poor old Indian farmer is travelling with his masters.\u00a0 The author brilliantly unveils the emotional upheavals of this savage human in the midst of cultured urban travellers who mock him as a brute primate.
\nThe 10 other stories are 10 captivating worlds of arranged marriages, lone journey through Thar Desert, finding a groom in an open bazaar, desperation of a snake charmer, falling in love with a high school student while being his mother’s age, finding lifelong friendship with a parrot, committing suicide to teach your family a lesson, and coming face-to-face with your mother’s turbulent past during your own engagement dinner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
