The Tongue of Unity
"The Tongue of Unity" plunges into the heart of a fractured Bengaluru in 2024, a city teetering on the brink of linguistic warfare. Amidst gleaming tech parks and ancient temples, the very essence of communication has become a battleground. The narrative introduces us to a society cleaved by the aggressive Kannada nativism of the Kannada Suraksha Samiti (KSS) and the exclusionary English elitism of the "Global Language Alliance" (GLA). Both factions weaponize language, perpetuating a cycle of fear, intimidation, and marginalization under the chilling banner of #LanguageTerrorism. Caught in this crossfire are Vibha Sharma, a talented graphic designer whose halting Kannada makes her a target i...
50 Shades Of Godi Media
Sneha Chakraborty sat on the edge of her bed, clutching a framed photograph of herself and Shashank Singh. Their smiles glowed in the soft, golden light of memory, a hue radiating hope for a future now lost. Shashank had left this world, and the muffled silence of her room was broken only by the soft drip of her tears, a sound echoing her shattered heart. She mourned not just a talented actor but her soulmate. In moments of despair, she found a sliver of strength recalling family stories – whispers of great-grandparents who had faced down the British Raj, enduring public scorn and imprisonment for daring to dream of freedom. Their resilience, a legacy passed down, felt impossibly distant now. Unbeknownst to her, her private grief, echoing the countless personal losses swallowed by larger struggles, would soon be drowned in the harsh glare of white studio lights and the shrill clamor of newsroom chaos, orchestrated by India’s modern "Godi Media" machine – a mechanism adept at manufacturing consent, much like the colonial press once did.
Unsuitable Boys
Sonal, a divorced and undeniably attractive Indian woman, navigated the bustling world of Bangalore as a software engineer at a prestigious investment bank. The city pulsed with a vibrant energy: the sharp, insistent blare of auto-rickshaw horns punctuated the air, a counterpoint to the mellow, resonant clang of distant temple bells. The very air hummed with activity, carrying the heady, sweet, and earthy scent of jasmine garlands from roadside vendors, mingling with the exhaust fumes and the faint tang of spices from nearby eateries. Inside the sleek, glass-and-steel edifice of her office, cool, recycled air whispered from the vents, a steady counterpoint to the city's shimmering heat, lace...
Chai, Bribes and Bureaucracy
In the vibrant chaos of 2025 India, Anu Sharma stands at the cusp of a dream: to launch a tech startup that could rival global giants. The air around her hums with the electric pulse of a nation on the rise, a symphony of beeping auto-rickshaws, distant devotional music, and the constant murmur of a million conversations. Fueled by India’s climb to the 63rd spot in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking—a dramatic leap from 142 in 2014—she is captivated by the promise of initiatives like Make in India and Digital India, which have positioned the country as a hub for innovation and investment. The golden glow of optimism often bathes the headlines, painting a picture of unbri...
Employees Last, Profit First
This is the story of BCLTech, Australia. BCLTech has invented a new motto, but only to admire its own reflection in the polished marble floors of its lobby. It operates on a different, far simpler gospel, a mantra whispered in boardrooms and etched onto the souls of its managers: Employees Last, Profit First. This novella follows the journey of Sunil Singh, a bright-eyed, hopeful data engineer who lands his dream job, only to find himself in a corporate nightmare. It is a cautionary tale, a dark comedy that explores the absurd and often illegal lengths a company will go to in its relentless pursuit of the bottom line. It is a world of Profit-Approved seating, weaponized HR policies, and a culture where human beings are merely assets to be optimized, depreciated, and, if necessary, written off. As you follow Sunil Singh's descent from idealism to disillusionment, you may find the scenarios described to be exaggerated, even farcical. But as with all satire, the question remains: how far is this fiction from the truth? Welcome to BCLTech, the land of opportunity—where the only opportunity that matters is the one that benefits the shareholders.

Bankrupting India
In the vibrant, saffron-and-green-hued tapestry of India, where the cacophony of democracy thrives and a kaleidoscope of diversity abounds, a grey, insidious shadow looms large—the shadow of freeloading. From the neon-lit, exhaust-choked streets of Delhi, ringing with the ceaseless blare of horns, to the quiet, sun-drenched villages of Punjab, fragrant with the scent of mustard fields, from the air-conditioned, hushed corporate boardrooms of Mumbai, smelling faintly of imported coffee and ambition, to the dusty, sun-baked farmlands of Haryana, echoing with the distant hum of tubewells, freeloaders exploit the system. Their actions, like a slow poison, drain precious resources, the lifeblood of the nation, threatening its economic fabric. This novella, Bankrupting India, delves into the many manifestations of this phenomenon, exploring how the sweet, intoxicating scent of freebies, the murky depths of subsidies, the silent hum of welfare schemes, and the cold, metallic gleam of corporate bailouts reshape the country’s economy and society.
50 Shades of Divorce
The promise of 'I do' often shimmers with a luminous, hopeful glow, a vow whispered against a backdrop of bright, fragrant florals and joyous, uplifting music. But life, in its relentless, often unpredictable unfolding, can dim even the most radiant beginnings. Doors once opened with a shared, eager breath of anticipation can slowly creak shut on rusty, un-oiled hinges, and rooms that once echoed with the warm, harmonious laughter of shared jokes and dreams can fall into a chilling, isolating silence, broken only by the hollow tick-tock of a clock marking time passing separately. Divorce, a word often spoken in hushed, somber tones behind closed hands or erupting in loud, jagged shouts of anger and pain, is rarely a single, stark event. It is a spectrum, a complex tapestry woven from a thousand different threads – some thick and dark with the stain of betrayal, others worn thin and pale with unspoken neglect, some vibrantly colored with sudden, explosive fury, others faded with the grey ash of slow, creeping despair.
