Gaanv Jati Pagadandee

About the Book: My debut story collection Gaon Jaati Pagdandi pays homage to my late father who raised me single-handedly after my mother's early passing. Despite lacking the traditional storytelling sessions with grandparents my father filled that void with his tales. Influenced by his nurturing I crafted narratives rooted in rural life drawing from personal experiences. Each of the twenty-five stories strives to bridge the gap between the mundane and the extraordinary offering insights into societal dynamics. From the emotional depths of Parityakta ka Sangharsh to the delicate nuances of Kanchan Katha my stories explore human complexities with sensitivity. I highlight the struggle of urban dwellers torn between progress and tradition as depicted in Jab Shehnai Baji Phir Gaon Mein. Through tales like Rooh ki Talaash and Wa Kalam Khaas I delve into the erosion of moral compasses and the complexities of human relationships. Chamki ki Barkhastagi and Leather ki Jacket subtly unveil the human condition while Debubai ki Kamardhani and Raghuvar Babu ki Bitiya provoke introspection on societal values.
