The Moving Finger: Bizarre and quite funny.

Dedication: What a fucked up, disgusting, strangely enjoyable story.

No progress these past few weeks. Should get back into it.

The Inset, A House in a Distant City, is an excellent short story within a story.

steady.

slow reading day.

Damn this book is dense. 900 pages to go.

Year's End: A portrait of a mourning family, of moving on despite being unable to. This time from Kaushik's POV. It's interesting.

Part 2: Hema and Kaushik> Once in a Lifetime: An interesting, sombre beginning to this three story series.

Nobody's Business: A fine story of how people ruin lives, and how sometimes we still go back to them.

Only Goodness: So far my least favourite story in this collection. Still good, but the characters seemed much less fleshed out.

Choice of Accomodations: How she imbues such history and depth in this world and her characters in 40 odd pages, I have no idea.

Hell-Heaven: Who do you blame (probably Pranab)? Sad all around. Poor Deborah, that saint of a woman. Only question left in my mind is the reasons for Pranab's behaviour: distancing himself from Bengalis or the mother?
