These strange, funny, intriguing tales from small-town Uttar Pradesh have been passed down orally from one generation to the next. They are likely to make one exclaim, ‘This couldn’t have happened!’, even as the narrators swear they are nothing but fact.
The bizarre chronicle of a lazy daughter-in-law, the court clerk who loved eating chaat, two cousins inseparable even in death, a blind teacher who fell in love with a woman with beautiful eyes, and other wild tales from Bareilly, Lucknow, Hapur, Badaun, Sapnawat and Pilibhit-places big and small-in that fascinating part of India called Uttar Pradesh.
