Back in January, I released my short story collection as an e-book. Many of you wrote to me saying you loved the stories. But you missed turning real pages. You missed carrying a book in your bag. You also missed curling up with paper instead of a screen.
I heard you. And now, I’m grateful to share that the collection is available as a paperback in India.
This book is close to my heart because each story carries a piece of lived emotion, quiet rebellion, or imaginative wonder:

- A group of friends dream of a travel club at college, only to discover how fragile bonds can be.
- Priti reflects on exhaustion, her child-free life, and the courage of choosing differently in a world that policed her choices.
- Mimi’s luxurious cruise spirals into déjà vu and near-death, blurring the line between paradise and peril.
- A birdwatcher stumbles upon binoculars that reveal the future—would you dare to look?
- Pratigya fights for ethical journalism against political pressure, risking both her career and her conscience.
- Paridhi uncovers a decades-old diary entry that whispers of hidden love and sacrifice.
- An anonymous letter threatens to unravel the golden couple’s legacy with betrayal too sharp to ignore.
- And in the year 2200, Kaira delivers a stirring speech at the first Interplanetary Conference. She reminds us that words will always matter.
These stories are entertainment. They are also companions for reflection and for empathy. They join those quiet moments when you want to feel seen.
If you’ve ever believed that books are best when held, flipped, and cherished, then you’ll appreciate this paperback. I invite you to bring it into your life.
