The Kismetwali and other stories is a series of eight short stories woven together against the metropolis. Weaving from London to Atlanta, from Mumbai to Delhi, the stories depict the fight that an everyday man fights of. From the Shavewala who helps perform an euthanasia to the Maalishwaali who reunites a daughter to her mother’s memories, the pure display of raw human emotions will leave you spellbound.
The stories are based on vallahs and vaalis, the essential people that keep the so called upper class of the society running as their actions cut across morals coming down to basic human instincts. The cities are drawn from Reetika’s memories starting with her childhood in a small town in North India moving to the hustle and bustle of Delhi and Mumbai and thence to Atlanta.
Reetika Khanna Nijhawan’s first fiction write up is a foray into the deepest recesses of the human brain and deserve a whole lazy weekend to be savoured with.
