???Puppy, why do people marry???? asked Chinnu with her eyes lowered. ???To produce little babies,??? I replied. ???But can???t I just adopt and take care of them???? ???Of course you can, but who is going to take care of this baby???? I asked, sliding my hands under the sheets and flicking her nose with my index finger and a thumb. ???Won???t you take care of me, Puppy???? I smiled and remained silent. On not hearing a reply, she brought herself closer to me, scooped her head on to my chest and clutched me as if it were the end of days. True Lies and Hump is a tale of living denial, where travesty of the young society meets its gradual renaissance. It portrays the raging storm in the minds of twenty-year olds and the confusion they go through to endure the highs and lows of life. It is a tale of transformation of an arrogant and self-centric creature to a mature and mellowed down human being. It also gives an insight into one of the greatest corporate frauds that India has known, through the eyes of an employee.
