Abstract: *Window Seat: Rush-Hour Stories from the City* vividly explores Mumbai’s urban life through poignant vignettes in two parts—*Mumbai Montage* and *Mumbai Medley*. The stories capture diverse lives, from young girls in secret relationships and proud young men to elderly women waiting for their children. Spanning the socio-economic spectrum, the author empathetically portrays hopes, fears, prejudices, and passions of ordinary people. Highlights include ‘Ganesha’, depicting a mother’s quiet grief, and ‘A Game of Cards’, showing a woman’s reflective moment. Together, these sketches create a rich, colourful tapestry of modern Indian life amid the city’s bustle.
