He DoesnT Attribute Any Genius To His Skills As A Writer And Convinces His Readers That The Stories Flowed Even As He Minded His Daughters Or Tossed A Salad. Equally, Manto Treats His Tryst With Bollywood With Disdain And Unmasks The Cardboard Lives Of Tinsel Town When A Horse Is Painted To Double Up For A Zebra Or Multiple Fans Rotate To Create A Deluge.
