About the Book: Onam on the Yamuna Banks
Every journey combines the trauma of separation with the excitement of
discovery. The new people in town carry the past from a faraway home and face
the uncertainties of arrival. During the day they struggle to adjust to
unfamiliar life. By evening, longing for what they have left behind subsumes
everything. Their stories record life in all its intensity and grandeur, for
living is mere repetition unless it is on the road. The tales of the new
settlers capture their struggle and give an account of love and losses that
makes up what life is all about..
