Publisher's Synopsis
SUDHA MURTHY IS FROM THE NORTH KARNATAKA. PEOPLE HERE HAVE A TYPICAL PERSONALITY. THEY ALL CARRY THE CULTURE WITHIN THEMSELVES. ALL THE STORIES COLLECTED HERE RESEMBLE THE JASMINE GARLAND, EACH FLOWER CARRYING THE FRAGRANCE AND INTERWOVEN IN THE KARNATAKI THREAD. THE TENDEREST PART OF THE AUTHOR`S MIND COMES INTO LIGHT THROUGH THE WAY SHE HAS PICTURED THE UNCOMMON ASPECTS OF THE COMMON PEOPLE. SHE HAS ALSO BATHED IT IN LIGHT HUMOUR.
