The Things We Carry - Paperback - 9798899849121

Fifteen stories that whisper, ache, and sometimes scream-straight to the heart.Ordinary people stumble into extraordinary moments: A reform-minded principal is quietly outmanoeuvred by a system resistant to change.A marriage is tested-not by infidelity, but by an irresistible, boundary-breaking puppy.A woman finds serenity in the unlikeliest place; another is consumed by silence.And in the most haunting tale-a schoolboy, caught in a twisted love triangle, commits an unthinkable act.Inspired by real incidents from across India, this final story holds a mirror to a generation torn between passion, pressure, and identity.Witty, raw, and deeply human, these stories ask uncomfortable questions and offer quiet revelations.With each turn of the page, you're invited to pause, reflect, and rediscover the people you thought you knew.Love.Loss.Longing.And everything in between.This isn't just a book-it's a gentle jolt.
