Close encounters with multitudinous humankind" would be an apt description for Sudhir Joglekar's collection of stories, Jab I Met. With quicksilver, self-deprecating wit and a sharp eye for human weakness, the author delineates several chance encounters he has experienced over various stages of his life. Joglekar weaves a rich tapestry of these meetings, ranging from legal skirmishes and student squabbles to friendly dialogues, from office debates and socio-political commentaries to bhaang-induced gabfests. Like the Bollywood movies which are frequently referenced, an undercurrent of joie de vivre flows through the mix of mirth, outrage, ambition, and melodrama which this seasoned road warrior presents. A book not to be missed for all those who want a glimpse into modern India's triumphs and travails, its heroes, anti-heroes, villains, and extras.

Leela was scorned and thrown away like a fly from a glass of milk by a villainous, greedy and a selfish Menon. She vents her fury on him by seeking the ultimate revenge a woman can come up with. A story told by a friend who is first just a witness to the bizarre goings-on between Leela and her divorced husband, but later becomes a part of the dirty quagmire. Both of them take recourse to tantriks, plot murders that don't work, and in the end an exasperated and frustrated Leela takes an unheard of course. The friend initially looks on in an indifferent and uninterested way at a marriage gone wrong. But he too is drawn into the drama as both sides dangle the ultimate bribe - money. His scruples are thrown to the winds as the lure of filthy lucre traps him in the web woven by a scheming Leela.
