महानगरी, विशेषतः मुंबईच्या आधुनिक वेगवान आयुष्यानं लादलेले ताणतणाव, नातेसंबंधांमधला ओलावा जपताना होणारी ओढाताण, यातून होणाऱ्या अपरिहार्य गुंतागुंतीतून मतकरींची कथा फुलत जाते. तारुण्याच्या उंबरठ्यावर शाळकरी वयातल्या आठवणींचे तपशील, उमलू लागलेलं चौकस कुतूहल, भिन्नलिंगी आकर्षण आणि पौडांगावस्थेतलं वय, त्यातून आई- वडिलांमधील आणि मुलांमधील विसंवाद, एकूणच काय? कुठे? कसं? याबद्दलच्या इमॅजिनेशनला आव्हान देत 'कदाचित'मधल्या कथा पुढे सरकतात.
I always like reading books/stories having background set in Mumbai (even better if the era is of 90s!) I've completed 2 story collection of Mr. Matkari & will be completed third all of which are set in Mumbai only. So that's a plus for me. But this book fades in comparison with the first story collection that I read - खिडक्या अर्ध्या उघड्या. That book introduced me to Mr. Ganesh Matkari, who is a writer in an altogether genre than what his father used to write in - Horror. I liked his writing style & hence picked up this book. Though only 3/4 stories were decent enough which lingered in my mind for a brief time. Others were just dull/unstimulating. 3 ⭐ from my side.
