There are six reluctant guests at a boisterous Indian wedding. It is the last place that they want to be, troubled as they are, by the recent events in their lives. In a bid to side-step some of the festivities, the six strangers look for some place quiet where they can drop the pretence of normalcy. There is, for each one of them, a jagged journey behind them and a mapless hapless one to come. They slip away to a viewing gallery suspended over the forest and river below. As dusk turns to night and then dawn, their stories emerge. The retired air force man is hiding from the consequences of new love. The woman academic is struggling to deal with her economist son's 'descent' into Bollywood. The young boy carries the burden of a wild-child older brother and his distraught parents. The work-weary nurse is grappling with a shocking realisation about herself. The celebrity TV anchorman is dealing with his sudden fall from grace. The lady voice-over artist has a suitcase full of wrong choices to handle. It is a night of talking. They are profoundly affected by the opinions and choices suggested by each other. The viewing gallery becomes, for that night, a raft, a lifeboat, pitching and listing in the dark, but conveying its six occupants safely to firm ground at dawn. Clarity and counsel comes from strangers . . . and then there is work to do, Paperback, लेबल: OMOBOOKS, OMOBOOKS, उत्पाद समूह: Book, प्रकाशित: 2012, स्टूडियो: OMOBOOKS, बिक्री रैंक: 761180.
