Love is complex. It demands sacrifice and vows to fill our hearts but at the cost of something as dear as love. Love is inarticulate, liberating, hurting, healing - it's an ordeal to be trapped in love. Yet, these stories by Annapurna Sharma are stringed by the one thread called love. The characters imbue love at various levels. They are quirky, filled with a sense of alienation, but at the same time packed with attachment and different shades of love.
