Plagued

            

The enemy is unseen, the enemy is fast. And there's nowhere left to hide. A virulent and extremely lethal virus kills thousands of people in the world's mega-cities, disrupting life in unpredictable ways.

Based on recent events, Plagued offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling portrait of friends who are separated by borders but united in their suffering.

As the disease begins to spread, Ved flies back home from San Francisco to attend his father's retirement party. His girlfriend, Jinny, is attending to her sick grandmother in China. Everything changes for them and their families in the next few weeks, as millions are infected and the world goes into a lock-down.

The pandemic sets the backdrop for a strange new world, where people work from their homes, are constantly online, and filled simultaneously with fear, revulsion and hope.


About the Book | Onward & Upward


The Steadfast Tin Soldier?



"The Steadfast Tin Soldier?" is a contemporary, coming-of-age drama involving Ashwin, four of his closest friends and his IITian role-model brother, Abhinav.

Ashwin's story is one wherein he fights vociferously against the world and the rules it lays down upon him, only for him to realize that all his demons have been internalized. This is a story of how Ashwin tries to swim against the flow, as he tries to take control of his life and not give in to the whims of his parents, teachers and society at large.
