โฆ Synopsis
Overview: Wry humor and a delicious grasp of the friction between generations in Bangalore are the hallmarks of Lavanya Sankaranโs fresh, deeply nuanced debut collection. โA potpourri of beggars and billionaires and determinedly laid-back ways,โ Bangalore, Indiaโs own Silicon Valley, is a crucible for prosperity, and at the chaotic crossroads between past and present. Here, American-trained professionals like Tara return to their old-fashioned families with heads full of Quentin Tarantino dialogue; a successful entrepreneur is shaken when his partner suddenly reneges on their plan to return to America; a traditional Indian mother slyly circumvents her Western-educated daughterโs resistance to marriage; a neighborhood gossip is determined to discover what goes on behind the closed curtains of the hip young couple across the street; a chauffeur must reconcile his more orthodox credos with his employerโs miniskirt lifestyle.
