Nightmare And Sunshine

Description

“Multifaceted realistic short stories collection, enriching the dystopian life in the global pandemic time!
“”I told you Ishu… I’m the Champion- True Ludo King”” Nikhil is rolling his eyes. With the flaunting, self-important smile, waves his hand in the air, as if receiving an applaud from the big audience for his brilliant move. And how these simple moves of Ludo lead to a catastrophic situation of Divorce in this worst Pandemic time!
It’s the dullest time of the week; Wednesday. One of the hottest times of the day, 1:45 pm, and considered one of the blistering months of the year, March! But still in this park life seems jubilant, copious, and plentiful to Jigyansh… How?
He earnestly presses the accelerator to dodge the barriers and traffic man. He tries to say thanks to the policeman, but he realizes through this four-layered N95 mask hardly clear-audible sounds come. In spite, he just nods his head, blinks his eyes in unspoken gratitude!
This collection of eleven short stories perceptively explores the impulsive, divergent, and imposing side of human behaviour in the global pandemic time. These stories allow a peek into the lives of extraordinary yet ordinary, relatable yet extraneous individuals who in COVID-19 lockdown, social distance, self-isolation phase endured and unearthed the true human spirit interrogating the issues of human relationships.
From the excruciating pain of the existing complicated ravelled life in pandemic like a nightmare to blameless guiltfree smile and sunshine, this collection of stories probes the convolutions in human relationships and behaviour in the CORONA TIME.””
