It’s Bengaluru in the ‘90s. The Boulevard on MG Road is a good place to walk eating ice creams from Lakeview. Commercial street is a shopping hub but the best deals are found at Safina Plaza. Weekends for the kids meant going to Cubbon Park for the train ride, eating cotton candies and the large masala papad (snack) served at fairs. Route 1 is the longest bus route in the city.
Now in Middle School, Prashanth’s world consists of his friends, a crush who won’t talk to him anymore, his collection of stamps, coins and tazos. The cricket bat and gloves are his prized possessions.
This book is a collection of short stories revolving around Prashanth and his friends. Its set in the backdrop of the days when Gulmohar trees dotted the city roads. Read on for a walk down 90’s nostalgia.
