This is a collection of Hindi-language pieces written by Sanjay Vyas. It talks about the ordinary things and events of our day-to-day life. What makes this book different is the way it has been written. Instead of talking about things in and around the mundane world in the usual boring way, it tells the tales of these. Each piece magnifies the ordinary to such an extent that it makes it look surreal.

Una notte in una città spenta, illuminata dai neon, che crea un paesaggio quasi surreale. Un uomo cammina tra le strade, invisibile e silenzioso, con un’apparenza ordinaria che cela un significato straordinario: è Dio. Non il Dio maestoso e onnipotente delle religioni, ma un “dio delle piccole cose,” legato ai desideri e ai bisogni insignificanti degli uomini, come trovare un oggetto smarrito o vivere piccole soddisfazioni. Attraverso questa figura, il racconto riflette sull’umanità e sulla sua indifferenza, meschinità e incapacità di cogliere il bello nei dettagli.
