Thanks!) * I climbed the subway stairs, nervously jumping two at a time. A herd of teenagers with skateboards ba...
"Should I get you another tequila sunrise?" I asked my wife Neeti after finishing my drink. She looked up from the inflatable mat on which she was floating in the Mexican gulf resort pool. She first looked at me. And then at the bar. And then said, "I'll go, Abhi." I smiled as I watched my wife slide her shapely body off the mat and start swimming to the...

Chapter 1: Phone Calls & Photos A Phone-call. 'Have you ever considered playing the other side?' The voice was low. Sultry and disembodied—as all phone voices are.
