'Leela Devi Panikar's brilliance is in catching extraordinary moments in ordinary lives which we see but rarely notice. Spread over continents and cultures, the stories in The Darjeeling Affair offer their own unique observations of life and its vagaries. She grabs the reader's attention with the first sentence and draws them into plots that defy conventional wisdom; yet, it all seems like the natural order of things. She weaves together, seamlessly, a range of concerns, and writes with the simplicity, ease, and purity that is the hallmark of a master storyteller.' 

This, Leela Devi Panikar's third collection, contains fourteen masterful and evocative stories.
