In these eighteen stories, meet Anvay, Suraj, Saakit, Virat, Divya, and others—characters flawed, vulnerable, real. From the coasts of Karwar to a foggy Himalayan village; from surreal midnight wanderings to dystopian cityscapes; from cramped homes to wide-open roads—each tale captures a moment when an ordinary life cracks open to reveal something raw.
A child facing guilt.
A cat plotting its escape.
A man trapped within his own silence.
A traveller colliding with cult and charisma.
A dreamer meeting his idol on the edge of loss.
What happens when someone—anyone—finds themselves cornered by circumstance, memory, or their own shadow? In flashes of humour, hurt, absurdity, and wonder, these stories reveal what’s underneath.
A Fly on the Wall: Human Tales Through an Urban Lens is a mosaic of inner worlds—seen through the eyes of an imaginary fly: curious, silent, always watching, asking the question that binds them all:
Who are we when no one is watching?
A collection for readers who love intimate short stories about ordinary people at unusual crossroads.
