The Selfish Swami & Other Stories

The Selfish Swami & Other Stories Thanks to the support and encouragement of all my readers over almost a decade, I have finally published my first book: The Selfish Swami & Other Stories. The book has been published with the pen name: A S. It is a collection of short stories involving the following common and uncommon situations, and more! What happens when:
  • You get a chance to date a movie star you admired during your childhood?
  • You are stood up on a blind date and you notice another person's blind date go awry?
  • You are married and are unexpectedly visited by your college crush?
  • You are on a new date and you get an urgent call of nature with no facilities anywhere near by?
  • You fall head over heels for a girl, only to discover that she is in love with another man whom you could never hope to match?
In 10 entertaining short stories written over a period of 15 years, I invite you to follow an eclectic mix of Indians in their pursuit of love and passion, ranging from blind dates to paid encounters, extramarital trysts to arranged marriages, teen romance to spiritual love. Seamlessly switching between first person and third person narratives, as well as male and female voices, these stories are quintessentially Indian in language and spirit. A perfect little book to accompany your cup of chai or coffee on a relaxing evening. Pick up a copy for yourself, consider gifting it to a friend, and please do tell everyone about it!
