  About the Book: Return to Jammu
  Balan, growing up in the small cantonment towns of Jammu and Ambala in the 1960s, is the son of a junior army officer. His is a packed life, with tough schoolmasters, homework and games with playmates to keep him busy. And, above it all, is the strange species called adults, who have a curious understanding of life.
  The story follows Balans struggles as he grows up and enrols at IIM Ahmedabad. He is certain one of his fellow students is his childhood friend. But she is not who he thinks she is she says so herself. Balan, though, is not convinced and returns to a changed Jammu to find out the truth.
