Highly recommended. In Bangalore, I read through Jayaprakash’s two collections in a matter of days. Had never read anything like them.

This is a story about communication. About languages — spoken and unspoken; and who we speak to, and who we fail to speak to, and how we can reach out and make a connection even when there is no common language. It's tender and hopeful.

A woman trying to make a decision about her long awaited pregnancy tries to confide in her hyper religious mother. This story left me feeling unsettled on many levels. And right at the point when I felt that maybe I was wrong, it ended with an image that made me question myself all over again.
