Abhilash Menon is a failure—unable to hold a steady job and living in the shadow of his successful wife. After being laid off yet again, at a vulnerable moment, long-buried memories—dark and disturbing—begin to resurface, unraveling him from within. With his mind in turmoil and panic tightening its chokehold, he contemplates suicide. In desperation, he turns to writing as a last hope for survival.
As he begins to write, his memories carry him back
Abhilash Menon is a failure—unable to hold a steady job and living in the shadow of his successful wife. After being laid off yet again, at a vulnerable moment, long-buried memories—dark and disturbing—begin to resurface, unraveling him from within. With his mind in turmoil and panic tightening its chokehold, he contemplates suicide. In desperation, he turns to writing as a last hope for survival.
As he begins to write, his memories carry him back to his days as a first-year engineering student in a provincial hostel, where he once embraced the unofficial tradition of ragging—a rite of passage, a way to toughen up and become a man. But as he and the other juniors in his group are forced to confront the brutal reality of the ritual, their grit and endurance are pushed to the brink.
When long-suppressed stories from the hostel’s past begin to assert themselves, fate plays its hand—intertwining the dubious motives of seniors, the conflicting sentiments of juniors, and the strengths and flaws of key characters. What unfolds is a confrontation that leads to tragic consequences.
Stories They Won’t Tell is a darkly tender tale of lost innocence which explores the themes of memory, masculinity, and moral reckoning. Featuring unforgettable characters and piercing episodes, it will tickle, shock, and tug at readers’ hearts in equal measure.
Two colleagues constantly chat about cricket, movies and women at work, much to the annoyance of The Mechanical Engineer. An astrologer has a strange visitor one evening, who is in a tearing hurry to know his Tomorrow, Today. The friendship between two housemates is disrupted by An Old Friend, who reconnects after a long time over a social networking site. An ardent Dravid fan is ridiculed by his playmates for his classical
Two colleagues constantly chat about cricket, movies and women at work, much to the annoyance of The Mechanical Engineer. An astrologer has a strange visitor one evening, who is in a tearing hurry to know his Tomorrow, Today. The friendship between two housemates is disrupted by An Old Friend, who reconnects after a long time over a social networking site. An ardent Dravid fan is ridiculed by his playmates for his classical batting technique, but is determined to earn their respect. A boy narrates the story of The Lucky Day to the police who have come home to interrogate him. All this and more in 10½ Stories of Our Times.
Set against the backdrop of an increasingly liberated, empowered and connected world, these hard-hitting stories bring to light the shifting paradigms of modern India, eager to break free from the warp of established conventions and traditional mindsets.
The classic tales in this collection are full of drama and suspense. Peppered with humor and satire, the stories serve as a compelling commentary on the times we live in.
Ten unique stories. Many interesting characters. Many shades of life…
And, a half-a-story that will surely raise a few eyebrows.
