This novel is a world in itself, spanning all boundaries and generations of an India we know very little of. It is a conversation between two of the greatest writers of all times – Mirza Ghalib and Saadat Hasan Manto – two men who shared the same passion and dreams but never crossed paths in their lifetimes.
