Wretched, Writing: Stall 22 is like no other on Calcutta's College Street - four-feet-by-three-feet, its shutters a copper sulphate blue. Recessed from the main road, which has a tramline running through, it is wedged between a shop selling new and old Hindi literary works and another selling old textbooks. Stall 22 is there but not quite there. No matter what time of the day you turn up, the wooden shutters are firmly shut. Written across them in white Bengali font are the words - Chaturtha Duniya, meaning the fourth world.
