A cocktail of SHADOWS and LIGHTS: Short Stories

By: Sudeepto Mishra

Some stories arrive as events.

Others reveal themselves only in hindsight.

This collection of short stories explores the quiet moments that shape ordinary lives - moral hesitations, unnoticed encounters, childhood dreams, and the subtle weight of memory. Moving between lived experience and imagination, the stories examine how small choices, fleeting interactions, and overlooked details can leave lasting marks.

Written with restraint and clarity, these stories do not chase dramatic endings. Instead, they linger, inviting the reader to pause, reflect, and recognize meaning where it is least expected.
