Book excerpt: In a style that is curiously light and acerbic at the same time, Rajshekhar Parashuram Bose places well-known characters from the Puranas in situations that might have been. Surpanakha s wooden nose and ear pieces fall off as she becomes hysterical reminiscing about her heartbreaking love for Ram; Mahaveer Hanuman s wife-hunt ends in despair; Durvasa finds his rattle years later, in the Kali Yug, tangled in his beard thanks to a few mice; and Hanuman appears again at a séance in the 1950 s to explain Ram s rule and the politics of power, and even delivers the proverbial kick in the butt to a couple of so-called patriots.
