Stranger's Death: A Short Story

On a quiet winter morning in Delhi, a familiar routine breaks. The house feels different. The air feels heavier. What begins as an ordinary day slowly turns into a silent encounter with life, loss, and an unseen truth waiting to be noticed.

Some people live beside us for years, yet remain strangers. Some endings arrive without warning. Through gentle observation and quiet moments, this story reflects on how easily we overlook the lives moving around us — until one absence suddenly becomes louder than any presence.

The Withering Tree: Finding Hope in Hardship

In the crowded lanes of Krishna Colony, a father’s sudden departure leaves behind more than an empty home. As silence replaces routine, a young son is forced to carry responsibilities far beyond his years. The story quietly observes how absence can shape lives more deeply than presence ever did.

The Withering Tree is a gentle reminder that hope does not always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it survives in endurance, in small sacrifices, and in the strength to continue despite everything. A story about growing up too soon — and still choosing to stand.
