Written over week-ends, late nights and early mornings, A Box of Chocolates is an eclectic collection of short stories. From the dense, Naxal-infested forests of Dantevada to trading rooms on Wall Street, from a missionary convent in Kerala to a gritty brothel in Mumbai, from a cold Christmas morning in Harvard to a hot summer afternoon in St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, Raghuvir Mukherji takes the reader across geographies and epochs and presents a diverse array of stories that describe different facets of the human condition.
