Beats of Loneliness & Other Stories

The book brings to light the sentiment of loneliness in its varied manifestations.

The thoughts, emotions, fears, obsessions, anxieties and eccentricities accompanying people left on the remote shores of mankind forms the subject matter of the work. Role of nature as an indifferent observer, as a healer as well as a friend is intertwined into the very fabric of each story.
