In this podcast, writer Sonia Chauhan and host Abhishek Singh explore life through fantastic pieces of fiction. Every now and then, we read a book or a short story and then sit down to unwrap theme, characters, plots, emotions, structure, writing styles, and the motivation of great authors who wrote these wonderful stories. Every episode is a voyage to discover what makes some stories so striking and yet so life like.
Longing & Love | The Day before the Revolution by Ursula Le Guin
A strikingly good writing style that travels seamlessly across timelines building a narrative that is lucidly smooth and very simple to understand despite being in the science fiction genre. A story about longing despite having it all, this story raises the fundamental question - will anything ever be enough ?

A heart touching story about characters dealing with anxiety with a broad spectrum of reasons possibly faced by ninety percent of humanity today.
The writing is clunky but the story has some excellent plot points and weaving a story seamlessly across so many characters without making it feel so overwhelming is a marvel that always pleases.
Centered around the incident of a bank robbery gone wrong and accidentally turning into a hostage situation is a premise that wants you to jump right in stay glued to see how these troubled people bond together over difficulty and tragedy and choose the cure over all anxieties - companionship.

How Far Can You Hold Out For a Friend | Blythe by Lauren Groff
Blythe is the story about two women who share a friendship which is in truth a symbiotic bond between the two where one needs attention and the other feels good about being needed by another whom she deems in certain ways better or superior in some ways.
Groff has an unnaturally canny way of gliding her readers through her stories. That happens here too. We are given hints and backstories as to why these women might have really formed a friendship and a wonderful portrayal of the human nature being dependent on the mould set in by childhood.
