Academics
This is the author's first book, he is a late-bloomer. Sanjiv is a former banker like many illustrious writers of our era! Save one experimental story, Chowringhee, the rest are true stories picked across the country during his peripatetic employ, and they presumably live up to the genre's promise of being stranger than fiction. You'll find here Meghalaya, Kerala, Goa, not to forget the author's birthplace, Delhi. You'll find all shades of emotion there, blessed with the inevitable, electrifying denouement. Imitating Money Heist, the stories have been named as per their approximate location. Two of them have been published in the Shillong Times.
