Three themes bind this collection of eight stories: women, around whom the stories are built, Goa, in which the stories are set, and the popular rhyme, One for sorrow, two for joy, which is used as an anchor; each story, in turn, reflecting the emotions or objects referred to in successive lines of the rhyme. Sorrow and joy, girls and boys, silver and gold, secrets, food, drink, wishes, kisses and messages - these are the stuff that stories have been made of since they were told at the dawn of humankind in huddles around campfires. And this is the stuff these stories are also made of. Though authentically Goan, these tales speak universally to all. Told with wit and subtle humour, each has an interesting twist at the end, to give the reader an "ah-ha" moment in the final paragraphs.

Autorenporträt
Tino de Sa grew up a thousand miles away from his ancestral island- village of Divar, Goa, in the dusty little central Indian railway town of Bhusaval, where his father ran a picture house and, off and on, was Mayor. He took degrees at St. Xavier's College in Bombay and then, as a Mason Fellow, at Harvard in the USA. He joined the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 1980. His varied assignments included a stint with the United Nations, and culminated in his being the longest serving Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh. Some of his poems have been included in anthologies of the Poetry Society of India and Delhi Poetree. He is the winner of a first prize in the Times of India national short story competition. This is his second published collection of short stories, the first being The Disrobing of Draupadi and Other Stories. Tino de Sa is the nom de plume of Anthony de Sa.
