OverviewMidnight Biryani and Other Stories is a vibrant tapestry of contemporary Indian lives-raw, ironic, and deeply human. This collection of thirty evocative short stories explores the emotional undercurrents of love, betrayal, ambition, and societal pressures. From the muted ache of forbidden affection in the titular Midnight Biryani, to the cutting satire of ideological flip-flops in The Forgotten Proletariat, these stories bring to life characters caught between duty and desire, tradition and change. Whether it's a little girl's heartbreak over the exclusion of her maid in Not One of Us, the dark comedy of innocence as moral cover in Sin Without a Sin, or the tragic humour of a reformed thief punished again in Baba: The Apostle of Dusk Town, each tale pulses with emotional nuance and narrative inventiveness. Rooted in both realism and fable, the stories span across class, gender, geography, and age, shifting from drawing rooms to jail cells, from remote islands to urban sprawls. With irony as its steady undercurrent, the collection is a poignant, often wry reflection on the contradictions and quiet heroism of everyday life.
