ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry tells the story of four characters from different backgrounds whose lives become intertwined in a city during the tumultuous period of the Emergency in India. Dina Dalal, a widow struggling to maintain her independence, takes in two tailors, Ishvar and Omprakash, who have fled their village in search of a better life, and also Maneck Kohlah, a student. The story follows their struggles to survive in the face of poverty, social injustice, and political turmoil, all while navigating the complexities of their relationships and the challenges of city life. The novel explores themes of resilience, loss, hope, and the search for belonging, examining the human capacity to endure hardship while maintaining dignity and compassion.
