Read two paperback novels set in Delhi, one about what it takes to survive in a big city and the other, a gentle love story of a boy from Bihar and a momo-seller from the northeast; read how step-by-step processes reveal ways of overcoming obstacles on the path to fitness; and finally an unusual love story set in a cafe.

A City Happens In Love
Author: Ravish Kumar | A boy from Bihar living in Lajpat Nagar likes a momo-seller from the northeast; she likes him too, but when he gifts her a token from his village, his dreams come crashing down.

In these crisp, powerful, micro-stories, journalist Ravish Kumar brings alive the love, longing, and heartbreak which flourish in the city's spaces.
Dilli Durbar
