Here’s an excerpt from my novel, “The Blind Spot”, available at Amazon.
“The compartment was nearly empty, yet he chose to remain standing by the door, feeling the rush of wind in his face as the train swayed and clattered past grimy apartment buildings, past smoky factories, past crooked tin shacks, past mountains of garbage, past stations with their ancient Wheeler book and tea stalls, past cricket grounds with bald pitches. He took it all in, the Bombay he loved, every square inch of it.”
Here’s a Wheeler book stall mentioned in the excerpt above. Wheeler book stalls are an institution in Mumbai, one in every train station. Also THE place for a quick tea while waiting for a train.
