Description

Each human is a story untold. Buried Things is ten of them.

A collection of short stories about the love that never announces itself.

A father who braids the mane of a mare every morning, the way he used to braid his daughter's hair. A driver who steps out of his car to sit with a stranger. A husband who waits in the car every evening without ever saying why. A girl who spends her whole life trying to make her family proud and never quite understands why it is never enough. A therapist who visits a dementia patient every single day, even when the patient will never remember she was there. And an elder daughter who searches an abandoned city for food, only to tell bedtime stories to her younger sister just to hear her giggle.

Yesterday he drank it for courage. Today he drank it for peace.

For a long time, she had not seen a face this young beside her.

Please don't leave me alone. I have no one left to make me laugh.

The pakoras were still warm.

Means somewhere else is burning now.

Quietly devastating. Deeply human.

About the Author

The stories in Buried Things grew from those years, from conversations half heard, from faces remembered long after the meeting ended, and from ordinary moments that turned out to contain everything.
He writes because some things cannot be left unsaid.
Buried Things is his debut collection of short stories. He continues to write fiction across genres, guided by curiosity, observation, and imagination.

A worth read

What I loved the most was the title of the book, it is deep in ways that i can't even explain like, someone already knows that there are things we keep hidden.

A must read!!

A 10/10 book which literally made my day better.
I finished this book in just 2 hours in one sitting and that's the beauty of this book. This book contains a collection of short stories which beautifully describes each and every human emotions in a poetic way. Throughout the each story, I felt like reading something very personal. The regret, the sadness, the emotions were beautifully portrayed. I really loved the chapter "Still Moving" and I'm gonna re-read it for the nth time.
If you love short, meaningful, impactful and a book which serves emotions and reality in right amount then this book is definitely for you!!

Highly recommended!!!

Ten Stories Filled with Unspoken Emotion

Buried Things brings together ten sensitive stories about ordinary people carrying extraordinary emotions. Through themes of family, memory, sacrifice, loneliness, grief, and unspoken love, Satyen Rohit reveals how the smallest human actions can hold the deepest meaning.

The writing is simple, intimate, and emotionally affecting. Rather than relying on dramatic twists, the stories find their power in recognizable characters and quiet moments of kindness, waiting, remembrance, and connection.

This is a thoughtful and heartfelt collection that stays with the reader beyond its final page. Recommended for anyone who enjoys meaningful short stories grounded in genuine human emotions.

Each human is a story untold.

I am drawn to *Buried Things* because of the warmth that lies underlying its melancholy. These tales appear to recognise that the most potent kinds of love seldom make their presence known. A therapist returning to a patient who can't recall her, a sister reciting bedtime stories while looking for food, a father braiding a mare's mane, or someone sitting next to a stranger are examples of how they live. That kind of love—quiet, tenacious, and frequently invisible—has a gloriously painful quality. This collection, in my opinion, might encourage readers to focus more intently on everyday occurrences and recognise that everyone has a backstory they might never learn.
