ZAMINDAR’S BUNGALOW AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Balance is a concept that is considered a given in spiritual life. Like the two wings of the bird that has to be perfectly balanced in order for it to soar the high skies. In this second collection of short stories, I have consciously sought out the concept of balance. In these tales, dear reader, you will find yourself taking sides and the lines will be drawn, for better or for worse, who is to tell? The fact remains that it will call forth to something within you, an innate sense of right and wrong and accordingly, you will respond. Balance is the point between two opposite forces and is desirable merely because it minimises the negatives of the opposing forces. This second collection of short stories has a much wider canvas than before. They traverse space and time even as they entangle the past and the present. Here, you will meet a space traveller, a moody detective, a gardener, a musician. They are whimsical, they are nostalgic and mostly always conscious of a balance, perchance missing, perchance not.
