Two and a Half Rainbows

Two and a Half Rainbows ñ A Collection of Short Stories draws inspiration from the myriad shades of humanity, its persistent struggles, and its little moments of joy. These stories attempt to capture the intricacies of human emotions and celebrate the human spirit through a neutral voice. Despite being rooted, the storytelling is engaging, as it employs multiple genres and tones.

In ëFireworksí, five-year-old Ronyís ecstasy is in stark contrast to his beloved maid Romaís agony, as he witnesses a daily spectacle from his apartment window.

Despite Gajrajís progressive demeanour, his hypocrisy comes to the fore, when he is angered by the frivolous promise made by the ëFly on the wallí. Likewise, little Advaithís innocence is put to the test when a friend seduces him to explore his ëDualí nature.

Thus, through a bioscope of sixteen realistic but fictional short stories, the author takes the reader on a journey through the by lanes of lifeís bittersweet memories.
