Shangri-La and Other Stories

In these impressionistic and mystical stories and sketches, identities flow into one another in the drag of time-often unknowingly maintaining adversarial relations to each other in the general symbiotic culture. Here you find an aging escort sipping on gin-n-juice in a hotel in McLeod Ganj; a quaint brass-deity come haunting an Indo-Tibetan youth; a poacher, called Bucephalia, hunting down a musk deer in a dale in Kashmir; a Daoist shrine-keeper casting a Vedic horoscope. Whether it is the Buddha emerging from a veil of mist or the surge of humanity converging in the Kumbha-Mela, it takes you to the seductive realm of intertwined patterns of destiny which nevertheless transcends space and time, cultural and religious boundaries.
