" The story relates to the adventures of two academic professionals. One born and bread in arctic Finland, and other born and bread in tropical India. By accidents of karma in previous existence, they get glued up and buttered in New York. In their romantic dream of 'Wonder that was India, they return to his homeland to settle down in Bangalore. Their confrontation with contemporary Indian social reality results in conflict of sensibilities. They endure little ironies, agonies, and ecstasies. The narrative has literary flavor against the background of globalizing cultural mythologies, classical and modern, in three continents. The juxtaposing of myths, legends, symbols, and some 'sacred cows and bulls' in good natured humor, makes it a challeging reading."
