The story of a young girl, a young boy, and an ordinary street. Since this was in the summer, during our holidays, we spent most days wandering the streets of the colony. Stopping the man with the ice-cream cart to buy lollies, exploring vacant houses, climbing over locked gates and having picnics in the empty rooms, cycling around hot lanes when the rest of the world retreated into the cool comfort of their homes. In a Bangalore of the 90s, two young children, aged eight and ten, meet and develop a friendship that goes on to impact both their lives in unforeseeable ways.Narrated through the eyes of its eight year old protagonist, offering glimpses into the mildly eccentric lives of the people who inhabit her world, this eloquent short story, told with a healthy dose of nostalgia, is at once memoir and coming-of-age tale.
