📝 About The Book

In this distinctive collection of 24 stories, Anand brings his exceptional mastery of poetry into the realm of short fiction. As he delves into the lives of rural characters, his writing transcends its origins, capturing a world where each story stands as a unique exploration of human emotions, experiences, and relationships.

Anand’s writing evolves with new dimensions in this volume. His characters, vivid in nature and personality, break away from the monotony of traditional rural narratives. Each one speaks with their own voice, behaving and communicating in ways that feel authentic and fresh. In contrast to his earlier works, Anand’s style becomes more concise, leaving out unnecessary details like excessive nature sketches or extra dialogues, creating a more precise and dramatic portrayal of emotions.

Set in the rich backdrop of rural life, these stories explore the complexities and nuances of village communities, where differences exist but unity prevails in the face of challenges. The characters’ shades reflect their individual perceptions, creating a rich tapestry of human experiences. As village life unfolds, Anand’s stories remind us that despite the challenges and differences, humans are bound by common emotions and a shared sense of community.
