My Story
I write slice-of-life fiction that explores day-to-day heroism. I find beauty in the lyricism of the commonplace, in the poetic interludes that arise from ordinary silences, and in the hypnotic power of daily interactions. My stories capture the essence of life as it unfolds in its simplest moments, revealing the profound within the mundane.
If you enjoy the works of R.K. Narayan, Richard Ford, or Raymond Carver, you might appreciate my books, which are primarily set in the vibrant cities of Bombay and Bangalore. Through my characters and their experiences, I aim to highlight the extraordinary aspects of everyday life, inviting readers to reflect on the subtle yet significant moments that often go unnoticed.
