About the book
‘Pebbles’ is a collection of contemporary and realistic short stories on women. These are all true-to-life tales, based on experience, hearsay, or newspaper headlines from around India. Each story is a slice of extreme drama, verging on the tragic. The purpose is to draw attention to the unbearable splendour of everyday life such as these, being lived around us, touching us, and then getting lost in oblivion. Little known, unheard, unsung, everyday occurrences, scattered around like pebbles.
