About the Book

Hiru is the story of a young boy from the village of Harinarayanpur, whose life becomes intertwined with memories that transcend time. For some, memories are the only legacy they leave behind, while others are born to collect them, weaving emotions and memories into the fabric of their being.

Hiru, a ten-year-old boy, embarks on a journey, traveling by train, seeking an unknown and unseen life. Along the way, he encounters magical people who change the course of his existence. He discovers that love, like a kiss, can linger on without any glue to hold it together, and that shadows, when cast on water, never disturb the stillness beneath.

In his world, these magical figures come, stay for a while, and leave. Hiru, unknowingly, creates a train of memories, blending truth with stories, preserving fragments of the past in his own way.

This enchanting story weaves together the themes of love, memory, and the impermanence of life, inviting readers to reflect on the magic that can be found in the simplest moments.
