Bombay Review & Other Stories

Bombay Review & Other Stories is a collection of stories inspired by real life incidents. The stories are woven around tales of drama romance unrequited love unbridled ambition avarice murder mysteries politics legacies the conflict between ethics and what is purportedly unethical about writers (accomplished and the one’s emerging) singers and artistes betrayal issues pertaining to sexuality sex change faith hope and the law of attraction. The drabbles are drawn on occurrences which take place around us in our daily lives. I have been inspired by the epic Mahabharata Panchatantra tales and Zen stories as they capture human emotions and behaviour in totality which resonate in my stories in current days. To my mind life is a synodic curve with upheavals storms vicissitudes and great moments. Nothing is purely white or black. There is a vast shade of grey in between. Humans always have a choice before them and take the plunge. Characters like Karna Arjuna Dronacharya Buddha Ashwathama Bhishma Duryodhana Shakuni various Zen Masters and heroes and villains from Panchatantra find a place in the stories set in present times.
