Once Upon a Time in the Future

An engrossing collection of short stories set in the past, present and future inspired by Indian mythology

This collection of speculative stories offers homage to the Indian epic Mahabharat, a vast, magical and timeless literary creation. The stories alternate between mystery and fantasy, and move in time between the epic age, the present and the year 2049.

These stories transcend time, space, and literary genre to unveil a universal wisdom. They will appeal to connoisseurs of Mahabharat as well as to those who know nothing about Indian culture.
