Tiger at twilght - Manoj Das

This is a nice novelet from Manoj Das, but I couldnt finish reading this one. Got dragged too long. Partly I blame it on my undisciplined life and partly to my weakness in vocabulary. Its too tough for a software engineer in India to make time for extra readings, unless he is dedicated. So for me its time to change :) Good luck to me :D.
The main character in the story is an heir of a princely state somewhere in North India during the post independence time. And he was managing a beautiful castle called Heera Mahal as Tourist destination. And this Mahal was in adjacent princely state to his. The story was based on his experience with the locals in that place and the Raja of that princely state.
