The Bulldozer - Manoj Das

I read it first as part of a collection of short stories but realized there is a full novella on it. Overall I will not consider it one of the best novels of Manoj Das. It's it's highs and lows. There are lots of satire in the piece but stories are not that well connected. I found the novella hard to read. In the end the protagonist loses his newly purchased home which is destroyed in front of him in a flash is a bit touchy in human emotion.

Overall not the master story telling we know Manoj Das for.
