Firecrackers that kill, cows that die, insects that murder

The planetary holocaust wrought by armies of ravaging insects

A neighborhood called Orya Bustee

A visionary billionaire to the rescue of humanity's food

Three zealots on the banks of the Hudson

The daily heroism of the people of the Bustees

An American valley that ruled the world

A little mouse under the seats of Bhopal's trains

A poison that smelled like boiled cabbage

They deserved the mercy of God

"A hand for the future"

A promised land on the ruins of a legendary kingdom

A continent of three hundred million peasants and six hundred languages

Some very peculiar pimps

A plant as "inoffensive a chocolate factory"

A new star in the Indian sky

"They'll never dare send in their bulldozers"

Wages of fear on the roads of Maharashtra

The lazy poets' circle

"Carbide has poisoned our water!"

The first deadly drops from the "beautiful plant"

Three tanks dressed up for a carnival

"Half a million hours of work and not a day lost"

Everlasting roots in the black earth of the Kali Grounds

A gas that makes you laugh before it kills you

"You will be reduced to dust"

Ali Baba's treasure for the heroes of the Kali grounds

The sudden arrival of a cost-cutting gentleman

"My beautiful plant was losing its soul"

The fiancés of the Orya Bustee

The end of a young Indian's dream

The vengeance of the people of the Kali Grounds

Festivities that set hearts ablaze

A Sunday unlike any other

A night blessed by the stars

Three sarcophagi under the moon

"What if the stars were to go on strike?"

Lungs bursting in the heart of the night

"Something beyond all comprehension"

"All hell has broken loose here!"

A half-naked holy man in the heart of a deadly cloud

The dancing girl was not dead

"Death to the killer Anderson!"

"Carbide has made us the center of the world."
