When it comes to my city, I am totally in love with it. It is like a litmus test, if you can survive you succeed or else you won’t ever look back. Having born and brought up in Mumbai, I felt a natural affiliation towards Jaina Sanga’s collection of short stories, Train To Bombay. I had received this in the hamper which I won for Hindustan Times’ #BrunchBookChallenge. But of course, I had a problem with the name Bombay, because it is that for the outsiders and the elite. The true spirit of Mumbai lies in the sweat and grim shed by every Mumbaikar. You can read my views on this topic, here. Not digressing too much, I was still attracted towards this book and I finished all the seven stories last night.
I shall give an overview and my opinion about each story, without divulging the story, below and post that I shall discuss the other aspects of the book.
