​"Kushu, waha acche se rehena, kisi ko pareshan mat karna, aur apna muh bhandh rakhna!"Armed with his mom’s strict warnings, a bag of namkeen, and a tongue that moves like a pair of scissors, fifteen-year-old Kushu embarks on his very first journey without his parents. Heading to Jodhpur with his uncle and cousin to bring his grandfather back home, Kushu expects a simple family trip.

​Instead, he’s thrown into a late-night train adventure featuring phone calls from an anxious mom, an unexpected encounter with a train thief, and the chaotic charm of family reunions.

​MUH BHANDH RAKHNA! is a heartwarming and hilarious coming-of-age short story about family, growing up, and the near-impossible challenge of keeping your mouth shut.
