Restive and moving, Kamleshwar’s stories resist all attempts to divide. The title story “These are not Flowers of Henna, Salima,” - which had set the stage for the celebrated novel Kitne Pakistan – affirms that Pakistan exists not on the map but in people’s minds. These tales are not fragrant flowers of henna, but intimations of the Pakistans that breed everywhere, every moment. The fifteen handpicked stories in this collection meld memory with experience.
