India, celebrating fifty years of independence, offered to the audience a haunting remake of "Vande Mataram". India entered the new millennium singing paens to information technology. India’s writers, from Rushdie to Roy, spanned the diversity of a nation which refuses to be defined by any consistent image. A taste of this diversity is contained in A Storehouse of Tales. As changeable as the monsoon sky, as exhilarating as a ride on a village swing, as taut as the kite strings at Makar Sankranti, as demanding of attention as the Ring Road traffic, this anthology of stories captures today’s assertions and yesterday’s nostalgia.
