Couples apparently happily married, children with behaviours that have explanations beneath the surface, senior citizens with their own stories, families with complications that go beyond individual, community or social backgrounds – each of these have a story lurking behind them.
Inspired by experiences while living in an urban apartment, 2 BHK for Rent is a set of common place stories that will surprise you with the stories behind people we know and see, provoke thought about everyday observations and often bring a smile on your face or a tear down your cheeks. The stories in this collection will take you on an urban sojourn where life may not be always the way it looks!
