In which the discerning literary pundit (Ra Sh) Ravi Shanker N reviews Bombay Hangovers, featured in The Compulsive Reader.

"This meticulous nature of her research into each story marks her out from other writers. This is again evident in another beautiful story where a Parsi youth is obsessed with creating his own brand of perfume (Parfum). Rochelle goes into a heady mixture of the scents and perfumes employed. She even has a lab where the protagonist works to manufacture that one perfume that can be his own.
