LITE LE….

What are we? If not mere stories just waiting to be told… In the early sixties my parents eloped! A fair, light eyed, handsome lad hailing from an illustrious Maharashtrian family fell hook, line and sinker, for a dusky, meek, simple Jain refugee. Love had travelled all the way down from Multan in Pakistan, to Guru Dutt’s ‘Bombay Meri Jaan’. An innocent romance surreptitiously bloomed. It resulted in an unlikely union of contrary minds and tribes. Grass eating herbivores up against hardcore carnivores. Robust Kshatriyas matching wits with crafty Vaishyas. ‘Lite Le’ is an ode to their unholy yet, ‘Happily Ever After’ alliance. A collection of stories of love, loss, life and chaos. Narratives sprinkled with familiar yet unique quirky colourful characters. Tales of universal appeal, some philosophical, others downright funny. Disclaimer All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. So ‘Lite Le…’ – Take a chill pill! Any resemblance to persons living or dead, is a wild exaggeration of your purely crooked imagination
