Synopsis

Lalita and Other Stories is a poignant collection of ten short stories that explore the unseen struggles and quiet resilience of women from different walks of life. Each story mirrors the realities women face every day—stories that deserve to be told, remembered, and felt. From a teenage girl navigating societal expectations to a wealthy woman confronting hidden wounds, these stories offer a raw, unfiltered glimpse into lives shaped by a patriarchal society. 
Lalita, a young widow, is denied the simple pleasures of life, while Bhavna is told to change her name after marriage. Mrs. Saxena and her distant husband live a lonely life, and she craves company, while Geeta Bua, a widow, relies on her extended family for financial support. These characters are familiar, and their struggles are real, yet they often go unnoticed by the world around them. They face discrimination and adapt, but a fire simmers beneath their calm exterior. You will find some of these women in your part of the world too. This collection is thought-provoking and will stay with you long after the last page.
