Under Ordinary Skies

What does it take to live, love and laugh? And keep at it even if the world gives you every reason not to? What happens when a freedom fighter turned cook must confront her past that simmers just beneath her spices? What should a mother do when her dreams take her to the top of a mountain…but her child needs her at the bottom? Can a young woman save a dying ecosystem? At what cost? Does a chess-loving girl have the courage to step forward in a world of just black? What if home isn’t a place but a dabba of food, shared over silences? About ordinary people in ordinary spaces—kitchens, forests, hospitals and train stations, Under Ordinary Skies—which won the JKPaper Auther Award by Times of India for the Best Manuscript —is a tapestry of 12 stories of what we miss and what we find. But most of all, what stays with us.
