Giddha on My Gulmohar

What befalls the most middle class, ordinary of dreams and loves caught on the cusp of the most cursed, extraordinary of times?

Lollita, a fortyish writer and Saree-a-holic single mom, chases her small-town big dream of making it to the B-Lists. With Lit Agent Lamba ji in tow, she collides into not only speed-breakers like ageism, but also the choppy timelines of Before Corona, Lockdown, and Unlock. Straddling culture-scapes of Dilli Haat to Lockdown-shadowed litfests around City Beautiful and Himachal Pradesh, Lollita also finds herself drawn to a younger artist, Ruhaan.

Will Lollita's summer-spring romance survive Quarantine's clash of cultures? What fate awaits her Wannabe Bestseller?

Giddha On My Gulmohar is a racy, literary satire mapping the 'oops' and downs of Pandemic's people, like you and me. A poignant portrait pulsating with the heartbeat of incorrigible Hope.
