Literary Experiments

My collection of short stories dreaming to be awake in a hardcover held by your hands. Mostly science fiction, far-fetched ideas, sometimes melodramatic, sometimes kafkaesque, often wild.

My biggest inspirations to write remain Enid Blyton, Andy Weir, Ted Chiang, Fyodor Dostoevsky, John Steinbeck, Kafka, Dickens & Herman Melville.

Everything here is fiction - any resemblance to real people, events, etc is purely coincidental.

2025-2026

(In Progress) The Birth of Content
A human gives birth to a child who has a mobile phone as their heart.

(In Progress) Chai, Gossip, AI & Time Travel
Casual conversations by time travellers sipping hot, flavored masala chai during pouring rain, at a shabby tea stall near the roadside.

(In Progress) A Requiem for the Fart Shy
Human flatulence has a unique frequency which can alchemize a certain mix of chemicals to become elixirs that can stop ageing.

(In Progress) Things Betwixt
When you sleep, you wake up. When you wake up, you sleep. What happens when you do both simultaneously?
