Coffee Shorts by Umesh Luthria [Paperback]

Jump right in. That’s what each story in this book asks you to do. Ten tales, crafted as light engaging conversations that pull the readers into the thick of the plot.

Some like it bitter some sweet, each story digs into an emotion with characters scripted to touch the inner chord of reality. They are an exploration of the often invisible dark side of human nature that is influenced by life’s sudden twists and turns.

The pain of a judge; an entrepreneur’s quest to raise money; the love life of a geek; an author’s struggle for a perfect story; a married woman living her own fairy tale; reinvention of life by an out-of-work professional; the inner conflict of a soldier; labels in a judgemental society; hidden agendas within relations; and could there be a guilt-free one-night stand?

Written over innumerable cups of coffee, the brew plays a cameo in each of the author’s woven yarns, with an invite to enjoy each one with a cuppa.
