About the Book
A storyteller unravels the extraordinary stories of some ordinary people. On our journey through life, we meet so many people--many we forget but some leave memories that refuse to fade away. This is a collection of true stories - of actual meetings and encounters that the author had with these people over the years as a journalist.
The 11-year-old flower seller with her unfulfilled dreams, the gay men forced into lives of heterosexual unhappiness, the heart-wrenching stories of abandoned HIV positive children whom no-one wants to adopt. There are poignant stories of old women in old age homes. Among the exploited prostitutes there stands out Sandhya who proudly describes how being a sex-worker has enabled her to educate and marry off her siblings. Poor homeless pavement dwellers live together amicably regardless of their religion. One old lady tells the author: "here everyone has only one caste - Ezhari jaati-(the caste of the poor).” Yet what shines through these stories isn't despair but hope and triumph of the human spirit against all odds.
