This book is a bouquet of touching stories and sweet and sad memories. The life and Times of Dacoit Queen Putli Bai,-also the title of this book, re-lives the life and times - in the infamous Chambal ravines-of a lady dacoit who accepts a young police officer as her brother and agrees to surrender, but whom the Destiny drags into internecine rivalries and jealousies-of various dacoit gangs. What happenes to Dacoit Queen Gudiya and to the informer? The book also contains many romantic tragedies-each exploring layer-bylayer, the intricacies of men-women relationships - leaving reader spellbound. What happened that night in Dehradun Express when after a gap of 18 years, he landed into a first class coupe and found Vimalaji sitting there, all alone? Das Babu was advised by a very famous astrologer to wear a nine carat coral ring as protection against health hazards. The same ring is recovered a few months later, from his fully rotten dead body-hands tied with an iron wire at the back. Presented in this very attractive bouquet, are eight short stories and one short novel originating in the very incisive mind of- and also given words to, by the former Governor of Nagaland and Manipur.
