Shikar

Hridayesh( born 1930) has eight novels and over ten short story collections to his credit. A literary chronicle of our times, his prose records with immense intricacy and artistry the social and political chaos that has become our reality today. Gaanth, Hatya, Ek Kahani Antheen, Safed Ghoda Kala Sawaar, Saand, and Pagli Ghanti are some of his acclaimed works.

An old man travels from the Bombay of his time to the Mumbai of his son''s time. In the ever burgeoning, consumerist and irreverent city where time stops for none, he begins to miss the absence of cuckoos in a park that had existed once in the neighbourhood. The opening story in this collection Shikar sets the tone for the vignettes that follow rendered in voices that marvel at the changes that overcome people and places in transit from one generation to another.
