The Underclass Lover: Short stories

by K.C. Bhatt

Rajesh thinks the city to which he walks to his job everyday, from a village near Kathmandu, is a different world. He is on a mission today to bury the dropped-naval of his newly born nephew, on the instruction of his widowed mother, in side the boundary of the Prime Minister's residence at Baluwater. His mother has sensed the possibility that the newly born could become the Prime Minister of the country one day if all the tricks are performed properly. A father feels happy when his son slaughters a goat for the first time. He was doing poorly in his studies. The father thinks that his son has shown a potent symbol of coming of age and belonging to the warrior caste of Hindus, unlike many others of his generation. These stories create a world which was there and will continue to be there regardless of everything else.
