The Mad Tibetian By Deepti Naval

"Stories from Then and Now" emerges through the prism of life. While "Thulli" draws you deep into the sordid and bleak life of a prostitute in Kamathipura in Mumbai, "The Piano Tuner" gently tugs at your heart with music from the piano that Feroze Batliboi once played. Ruth Mayberry inspires with her never-say-die spirit, yet grapples with loneliness. "D", "The Morning After", "Bombay Central", "The Mad Tibetan", "Premonition", "Sisters", "Birds", are all facets of life itself - each speaking in a voice that is resonant of hope, love and joy of another day.
