📝 About The Book

“Premnath, Enkatesh, Samba, and Other Tales” brings forth a fascinating collection of real-life inspired stories by Mahadev More. Through these 164 pages, More takes us on a journey through the lives of ordinary yet deeply complex characters, each struggling with their own set of circumstances and challenges.

In this anthology, we meet Premnath, a man who deceives young women with a marriage advertisement that promises a working bride; Enkatesh, who runs a vada pav stall despite being ridiculed for his past failures in the transport business; Samba, whose decision to treat his son’s injury with home remedies leads to unexpected consequences; and the protagonist's dying aunt, whose final days bring a reflective twist to the narrative.

We also encounter the Maharaja, whose life is disturbed after the tragic suicide of his Muslim girlfriend, leading him to express a bizarre wish for his own grave to be built before his death. Wangchu, captivated by the beauty of Srinagar, fails in love despite his fluency in Hindi and English.

With sharp wit and a deep understanding of human emotions, Mahadev More crafts stories that delve into real-life situations, portraying emotional struggles, human relationships, and the unpredictability of life.

This collection is a delightful blend of humor, tragedy, and the ordinary moments that shape extraordinary lives.
