A must-have book in your collection! Weaving through the expanse of emotions that make up love, debutant writers and well known authors
bring you a collection of stories that will pull at your heartstrings. These heartfelt tales take you on a journey across India. In Sultangarh, a young school teacher contemplates the better rishta for herself. At Esplanade,
a man awaits a rendezvous with his much younger ‘girlfriend’. In Chennai, an IT Projects Manager meets a mysterious stranger. Love blossoms in unexpected places at a jhalmuri stall outside a BPO; two insomniacs
from Mumbai meet by night; and in the quiet of Flurys café, a man revisits a time gone by with his lover.

Many of these stories delve into secret places. An intimate moment reveals darker secrets. A bride sits at the altar conflicted. The truth about a marriage comes unfurling ‘out of the closet’. A passionate couple try to
address a ‘loud’ problem. While a once happy couple grapple with the stings of betrayal. Laughter, as fortune favours the believer of positions of
the stars; a street smart young lad walks into a marriage proposal setup; a boisterous middle aged woman chatters away about her secret love life and many other stories.

Edited by Sneh Thakur, and with popular writers like Arunava Sinha, Ira Trivedi, Paritosh Uttam, R Chandrasekar, Ahmed Faiyaz and Malathi Jaikumar among many new voices, this is an anthology of urban
Indian fiction, translated regional literature and stories never told before – straight from the heart.
