Each of these stories is a window into the lives of fictional characters experiencing real things.
Bombay (or Mumbai if you prefer, I don't want to get in trouble) is a large soup of humans. No matter where the residents of this city go, something from this city goes with them.

Here are ten stories that take place in these two cities; starting in the year 2000, going all the way up to the year 3000.
There is a story about a single mother who is as honest as she is hilarious, except this is not the type of humour most people like.
There is another story about a man and his two interns who have to investigate a heist, but then they get in too deep, and one of them is gone.
There is also a story here about carrots and peas. I could tell you the rest, but it is more fun to find out yourself.
