"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”

Door in the Wall is an eclectic collection of short fiction, diverse in plot, style and treatment, but with a common thread: the barriers we erect between ourselves and the world; the walls in our minds and in our hearts.

‘Writers in high heels and cynical to suit the age...written not with a pen but with a scalpel...’
(Kamala Das, late poet and writer)
‘If anyone asks me what is the common chord coursing through the anthology? I’ll say the positive vibe, the tune of hope and the feel of sun shine, notwithstanding the trials and tribulations that the characters undergo, bringing a pleasureful smile to the readers’ lips at the end.’

‘The book has a diverse set of stories-some comical and others contemplative on life. Like the dish of the same name, there is something for everyone.’

‘This collection is something like a hymn of praise, sometime a paean of joy and at other times, requiem of loss…but like a ballad, always with a story to tell.’
(Deccan Herald)
