A cobra flies in through an open window. Wives form a pact against their bigamous, abusive husband. A mother and son battle over eagles? eggs. A homeless guest with a secret. An elephant protests on a highway. A woman marries a pumpkin. Diverse people – one country! This is the teeming, hectic world of India. It is also the vivid, startling world that Jasmine D?s Costa gives us in Curry is Thicker than Water.
