Notes, Reflections, and the Making of Stories
There are journeys that begin with a map, and there are those that begin with a whisper. Mine, it seems, chose the latter. I am quietly delighted to share that a few short stories from my two books, Paper Moons and Mango Trees and Ledger of Little Revolutions, have found their way into the attentive hands of filmmakers. Of them, Night Train to Dombivli now stands at the threshold of becoming a film, as if the story itself has decided it no longer wishes to remain confined to the page. For a writer, there is a rare, almost tender astonishment in watching one’s imagined worlds take on a life beyond ink and paper. It is, perhaps, one of the most rewarding turns this unplanned journey could have offered. I remain deeply grateful to those who have read, paused, reflected, and stayed. Your quiet presence has been the unseen architecture of this path. If I am honest, I never quite imagined I would arrive here. But then again, Mumbai has always had a way of turning the improbable into something almost inevitable. There is, surely, something in its air.

A Gentle Invitation to Readers
Paper Moons & Mango Trees: Stories of Indian Hearts, my debut short story collection, was first published on 15 August 2025. In its early days, the book briefly touched a memorable milestone — reaching #1 and staying there for eleven consecutive days. That moment remains deeply special to me.
As another personal milestone approaches — my birthday on 23 April — I wished to celebrate it not with fanfare, but with a simple gesture for readers. For a limited time, the Kindle edition of Paper Moons & Mango Trees is available worldwide at a special reader-friendly price of ₹99.
This book is a quiet journey through the landscapes of memory — small towns, railway platforms, courtyard conversations, childhood afternoons, and the fragile poetry of everyday life. Across fifteen stories that span several decades of lived experience in India, the collection celebrates the quiet beauty hidden in ordinary moments.
If you enjoy reflective storytelling rooted in Indian life — narratives that echo the warmth and gentle humanism often associated with writers such as R. K. Narayan and Ruskin Bond — you may perhaps find a familiar home in these pages.
Readers are warmly invited to explore the Kindle edition on Amazon and step into a world where nostalgia, humanity, and the quiet rhythms of Indian life unfold one story at a time.
Thank you for supporting independent literature, and for allowing these stories to travel from my writing desk to your reading corner.

From 22 to 26 April, my book Ledger of Little Revolutions will be available free worldwide on Kindle for a brief period.
This collection brings together thirty stories about ordinary lives. Tea sellers at quiet railway platforms, ferrymen who know the rhythm of the river, fading professions that still carry dignity, and small gestures of kindness that quietly shape the world around us.
These stories are not about grand revolutions. They are about the little revolutions that unfold quietly in everyday life. Moments of courage, compassion, humour, and reflection that gently alter the course of a human heart.
Set across familiar corners of India and shaped by the textures of daily life, the collection celebrates the quiet poetry of ordinary people and the wisdom hidden within small experiences.
For readers who enjoy reflective literary storytelling rooted in humanity and observation, this brief free window offers an opportunity to discover the book and wander through its pages.
Sometimes the smallest stories travel the farthest.
