- Book Synopsis
- This book began as a way of remembering of meeting strangers, visiting homes, and moments that lingered long after the fieldwork was done. In each story came a reckoning - that quiet pause when life reminds you to listen, not measure; to see people, not data points. A reckoning isn't always dramatic; sometimes it's a gentle awakening - a glimpse of ourselves reflected in others. Nine Reckonings is built around such moments, when the professional turns personal and research transforms into empathy. Drawn from real encounters across India and beyond, these stories capture reckonings that are subtle, human, and unforgettable. Set across Delhi, Bhopal, Kolkata, Jalandhar, the Middle East, Manila, and Jakarta, each story reveals a different truth of fear and trust (Beyond Punjab), conscience (Five Kg Gold), lost love (Anurupa), gratitude (Mermaid), endurance (Middle East Dreams), forgiveness (One Perfect Sunday), belonging (The Twelfth Man), empathy (Walking with the Truth in Manila), and identity (Once Upon a Time). books about cross culture border and soldier books stories across borders and cultures fictional stories across borders short story collection on soldiers.
