Description
Under the Gulmohar Tree is a collection of heartfelt stories that capture the colours and rhythms of India. Like the Gulmohar itself—bursting with blossoms of fire yet offering shade in summer—these tales bloom with contrasts of light and shadow, strength and fragility, loss and renewal.
From quiet towns to bustling cities, the narratives trace lives that are ordinary yet extraordinary. Each story carries the fragrance of memory and the pulse of everyday life, reminding us of the ties that bind us, the dreams nurtured against odds, and the choices that shape our journeys.
Much like resting beneath the Gulmohar tree, this book invites readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the beauty hidden in the ordinary.
“Stories rooted in the soil of India.”
