About the book
The book is an anecdotal record of the journey of life of the protagonist, who is keen to establish relations with every newcomer in his life in the hope that it would make his journey less tiresome and thornless. There is an old saying "It is always better to have two than one during a journey.” From the remote village where he is born to the silver city of Mumbai, he searches for real relations, but each time his search ends in smoke. Even in the big crowds of the big city, he finds himself a solitary creature. Newness attracts him, but he finds them more deceptive. He is aghast to see even the blood bonds breaking in the struggle for a better existence for which they had moved out of their native villages.
At last, the protagonist seeks seclusion to unload the burden before the nearest ones might start feeling him burdensome.
