Deep Chand, the barber, dreams of giving the prime minister a haircut; Pitamber wishes to ride an autorickshaw instead of pulling a cycle-rickshaw; and Aziz will be happy with a junk-shop in Chandni Chowk. Sharing their dreams of escape is the narrator Arun, a struggling detective fiction writer. As he waits for inspiration to write a blockbuster, he seeks and discovers love in unusual places-with the young prostitute Kamla, wise beyond her years, and the orphan and epileptic Suraj, surprisingly optimistic despite his difficult circumstances. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDelhi Is Not Far\u003c\/i\u003e, one of his most enduring novels, Ruskin Bond sketches a moving portrait of small-town India with characteristic sympathy and quiet wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Penguin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143440437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124","brand":"Ruskin Bond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40550358155445,"sku":"9780143440437","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9a611328-4da0-4fe1-8886-b50fcfaff2d3.jpg?v=1626789930","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/delhi-is-not-far-9780143440437","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
