This from Basu Chatterji's contribution to Faction, an anthology of short stories by film personalities edited by Khalid Mohammed. Good story. The book? A laudable effort but a possibly overawed editor gets all the stars and auteurs to sound the same, from Arjun Rampal to Bobby Deol (yes, you read it right) to Akshay Kumar (yes, again) to Juhi Chawla and Sonam Kapoor.
Most of the tales are a tad precious but a couple of them do turn out to be engaging. Farah Khan's unsentimental recall of her eccentric grandmother, was a good read.
