Yours Meera and Other Stories is a collection of short stories focusing on the lives of women in our society. The characters are all from the world that we know. Hence, the stories are relatable with several shades of humanity expressed through topics ranging from greed, infidelity, debauchery, domestic violence to suffocation in a toxic relationship. However, each of these develops into inspirations of transformation and self-revelation. Like Meera, who amidst her endless wait for her lover, finds the taste of her motherly love in her last moments of life; Noor, who takes up the job of a housemaid after her husband's disability only to realize that she was valued only for the money she was making.

Watch out for unexpected, fantastic and shocking stories with an element of surrealism.

This book does not shy away from telling stories of societal hypocrisy.

As each story creates a realm of magical realism around you, it is a perfect read for a quiet afternoon or for a solo-travel!
