But the little that does is lovingly discussed embellished upon and spread far and wide by the scandal starved people of the little town who throng Bhagirath's hotel every evening for an endless diet of pecial tea blaring off key Hindi Film Music and a blow by blow account of the lives loves highs and lows of their local celebrities Naina Mem the Voluptuous Volatile mistress of an Anglo Indian Railway Guard Vinayak Homeopath and Trade Union Leader whose radical ideas on untouchability make the other local luminaries squirm Murari Doctor and Parashuram Vaid whose respective medical practices are under threat from Vinayak.
