Publisher's Synopsis
On 25 March 2020, one fifth of humanity entered exile in their homes, as India locked down to combat the Corona Virus Pandemic. The bewildered population reacted in a zillion ways to this unaccustomed incarceration. It would have been easy to succumb to anxiety or depression. But most didn't! Instead, they found novel ways to cope. With the world shut out, new experiences were hard to come by. Some delved into their memories, others allowed their dormant creativity to come to the fore. The result? Cathartic new tales were born.
Here is a collection of stories from an eclectic group of mostly first-time writers. Spread across Kochi, Bengaluru & Chennai, these six authors from diverse backgrounds unite in their love for storytelling to bring you myriad characters, locations & emotions. Each author brings a distinctive style and flavour. All of them combine to present a delicious potpourri of stories across multiple genres and moods. Their sole aim is to entertain you.
Happy reading!
