Bombay Time: A Novel | Thrity Umrigar
2 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
At the wedding of a young man from a middle-class apartment building in Bombay, the men and women of this unique community gather together and look back on their youthful, idealistic selves and consider the changes the years have wrought. The lives of the Parsi men and women who grew up together in Wadi Baug are revealed in all their complicated humanity: Adi Patel's disintegration into alcoholism; Dosamai's gossiping tongue; and Soli Contractor's betrayal and heartbreak. And observing it all is Rusi Bilimoria, a disillusioned businessman who struggles to make sense of his life and hold together a fraying community.

Bombay Time: A Novel | Thrity Umrigar

Pickpick

A glimpse into the lives of families who live in the same apartment building in Bombay (not Mumbai). The story takes the reader into the heart of these families, learning about their neighborhoods, desired, hopes, dreams, and failures. This is an unflinching look at the complexities of human relationships.

@TricksyTails To go with your last email. Totem is a Bombay, so if you have a shelter close to you, you should see if they have any Bombays. They're basically the most "dog-like" cat breed an owner can have. ??? #BombayLove #AdoptDontShop #BlackCatsAreLovers #StopTheStereotypes

Clwojick Hahahah! You'd have to come here to watch them! Totem does NOT like his surroundings to change 7y
TricksyTails Aww thank you! ♥️The Bombay seems like the perfect 🐱for me! I've always had black kitties and just have a special love for them. I still wouldn't mind if you sent Totem my way 😏😂 Okay, okay...maybe if you need a kitty sitter! 7y

TricksyTails Woah. Something weird just happened with my comment. Anywho, so what you're saying is Totem might not like me babysitting him in my car in the bookstore parking lot? 😂 7y
Clwojick @TricksyTails well, he doesn't like cars because that equals the vet so, you know 🙄 7y
Clwojick @TricksyTails side note, have you ever watched Video Game Highschool 7y
TricksyTails No, but now I'm going to look it up. Is it on Netflix. *off to Google* 7y
TricksyTails Hahaha I don't know how I've never seen this but I know what I'm doing this weekend. 😁Damn it all! I'm never going to get any reading done! 7y
Clwojick 😂😂 the first few seasons are lighthearted and fun, but the later seasons get a little dark. Lol @TricksyTails (edited) 7y
