इस क़िताब में 14 कहानियाँ हैं। ये कहानियाँ उन चीजों के बारे में जिन पर हम और आप social media पे भिड़ते रहते हैं, या अपने office में, घर पर, किसी अंत पे ना पहुंचने वाली चर्चाएँ करते रहते हैं। ये क़िताब बड़बोला बन के answers देने का काम नहीं करती, ना कोई verdict देती है, ना judge करती है, यहाँ तक कि सबसे घृणा योग्य लोगों को भी ये judge नहीं करती, केवल उनको उनका काम करते दिखाती है । ये क़िताब हमारी आजकल की दुनिया का front camera है। Rishabh Pratipaksh's first collection of stories has a riotous cast—ranging from prostitutes who read slurs etched by men about hookers in public urinals; mobs that wish to destroy the idea of Gandhi each time they get ready to commit hate crimes; a society that shuns rape survivors but turn them into goddesses the minute they die, the dead 'Shravan Kumars' of a family who is burdened by their parents' dangerous expectations; an upper-caste Bhura Pandey who helps his scheduled caste childhood friend elope with a brahmin girl; two small-time criminals who are plotting to bump off their gangster mentor; and an adolescent girl who is trying to deal with the first day of her period. Rishabh's stories are definitely the finest to come from Hindi literature in recent times. They gratify, entertain, unnerve and shock, all at once.
