The grandmother, who was about to turn eighty, became a widow and turned her back on the family and grabbed the cot. The family tried to drag him back into their midst. A joint family seething with love, enmity and mutual bickering. Grandma said that she will not get up now. Then the sound of these words changes and now a new one will arise. Dadi wakes up. Brand new. New childhood, new youth, free from social taboos, completely free in new relationships and new attitudes. Not only is it a saga of an extraordinary woman hidden in every ordinary woman, it is also a unique depiction of sand-tomb, joint family's condition at that time, country's condition and common human destiny. And there is an immortal love affair and an unforgettable character like Rosie. There is a new shade of story writing in this novel. Its story, its chronology, its sentiments, its sayings, all move in their own unique style. Neglecting our familiar limits and crossing the borders. The familiar is completely unique and new here. Its world is both familiar and magical, bridging the gap between the two. Time also comes here in its continuity. Every being holds together the past being, and every moment dormant ages. For example, the aggressive Indian and Pakistani nationalist demonstrations held every evening at the Wagah border are resounding with the 'returned voices of the carnage', and the long shadows of the past linger in the everyday life of the joint family. There are other boundaries crossing which this work becomes unique, such as woman and man, young and old, body and mind, love and hatred, sleep and wakefulness, joint and nuclear family, India and Pakistan, humans and other animals. Not without reason, this story is sometimes told in the voice of a butterfly or a crow or a partridge or a road or an ancestral door) or in prose and poetry: 'Tears fall like stones from the Dhamma. Drop of rain.
