This collection of short stories portrays individuals who have reached a standstill, trapped in their prejudices and an environment where progress has stagnated.

It portrays those who are seldom handed the microphone and whom few truly understand. Each character grapples with their own flaws and loneliness in a society characterised by surveillance, nosiness, and suspicion. It's a society where challenging norms and prejudices is difficult, and breaking away from social heritage is even harder.

The author enables us to peek into the daily lives of these people whose fates appear doomed. To live with shattered dreams, thwarted plans, and lives put on hold, unable to see a way out of the despair, the dual solitude, and the faded love.
