Paper Moons & Mango Trees is a literary short story collection that journeys through India’s towns and shared spaces, capturing five decades of lives shaped by memory, waiting, and quiet resilience.

Across fifteen stories, ordinary moments open into lasting meaning—a postman who keeps walking, a cinema that refuses to fade, a train journey that alters something unnamed, a mango tree standing witness to time. These stories find significance not in grand events, but in what is felt, remembered, and carried forward.

This Second Edition (Enhanced) deepens the original collection with refined language and greater emotional clarity, while remaining faithful to its gentle spirit.

Warm, restrained, and profoundly human, Paper Moons & Mango Trees is for readers who know that some revolutions happen softly—and stay with us long after the page is turned.
