    The Last Slice

    Rohan Banerjee Part 1: Viral Villain Raj Mehta believed in three things: breakfast before tweets, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on everything, and the sanctity of the last slice. The first two had kept him mostly sane. The third was about to ruin his life. It happened at a café in Lajpat Nagar that insisted on calling the waiter a “pizza sommelier.” Raj was reviewing their new menu for his channel, Raj On A Plate, which, if we’re honest, was a modest plate. Not fine china. More like a laminated thali. The café had one wood-fired Margherita left…

    Gully Premier League

    Mahesh Shukla The first chapter, The Chawl Conspiracy, plunges readers into the vibrant chaos of a typical Mumbai chawl, where the scent of street food mingles with the hum of everyday life. Ro, a lanky teenager with a sharp tongue and an eye for mischief, slumps against the railing of the narrow balcony, lamenting the exorbitant IPL ticket prices. “Who even has the money for these stadiums?” he grumbles, tossing a cricket ball absentmindedly into the air. Around him, the chawl pulses with life—neighbors shouting from adjacent windows, a distant honking of rickshaws, and the occasional clang of utensils from…

    दिलचस्प दफ़्तर

    विशाल कुमार बड़ा कागज संकट ऑफिस के माहौल में एक हलचल थी। Hopeful Hearts की छोटी सी टीम किसी न किसी वजह से हमेशा उधड़ी रहती थी। आज ऑफिस का एक नया दिन था, और जैसे ही अर्विंद, ऑफिस के मैनेजर, ने दरवाजा खोला, उसे एक चिठ्ठी मिली जो सीधे विनोद सर के केबिन से आई थी। “सर्वेक्षण रिपोर्ट के लिए सभी कागज़ों को एकजुट करो!” यह संदेश था। अर्विंद ने सोचा कि इस दिन का काम तो बस चुटकियों में निपट जाएगा। लेकिन, जब उसे यकीन हो गया कि रिपोर्ट का काम करना होगा, तो उसने इस चिठ्ठी का…

    Flatmates and Other Natural Disasters

    Aarav Malik The Flatmate Interview from Hell Neil Patel had never considered himself particularly unlucky. He had a stable job, a reliable (if slightly moldy) flat in West London, and a wardrobe that was ninety percent navy blue. But when his longtime flatmate Raj moved out—citing “creative differences” after one too many passive-aggressive notes about unwashed dishes—Neil found himself diving headfirst into a living nightmare: interviewing strangers from the internet. It began on a Tuesday. Neil had placed a straightforward ad on a flatmate website. No smokers, no party animals, no pets that bark, bite, or recite Sanskrit. Just a…

    The Great Curry Catastrophe

    Deepak Sharma Chapter 1: If you had asked anyone in Pimplepur a month ago who Rajeev Banerjee was, they might’ve said, “Wasn’t he the boy who tried to bake a pizza on the car bonnet in Class 8?” Or, “Is he the one who added glitter to gulab jamuns thinking it was edible silver?” Yes. That Rajeev. The boy who left for “London” and returned with suspiciously little luggage, an accent thicker than mayonnaise, and a lot of ideas no one had asked for. Rajeev’s arrival back in Pimplepur was not exactly what one would call subtle. He didn’t just…

    Startup Shaadi Pvt. Ltd.

    Anupama Trivedi Chapter 1 It begins on a humid evening in Bengaluru. Manav, our protagonist, sits in the dark corner of a PG in Koramangala. He’s thirty, jobless, and surviving on day-old biryani. Once hailed as a promising coder from an IIT, he now codes half-heartedly on borrowed laptops. His roommate recently left to join an ed-tech unicorn, and Manav is left with unpaid rent, broken dreams, and a used whiteboard scribbled with failed app ideas: “Rent-A-Paratha,” “GhostTalk (for ghost believers),” and “DoggieGram.” The final blow comes when a food delivery company he freelances for fires him, citing poor performance…

    The Great Office Coffee Heist

    Rishi Kulkarni Monday Mourning The Monday morning at Chai & Chat Media Pvt. Ltd., a mid-sized marketing agency in the heart of Koramangala, Bengaluru, began like any other—late. The office, located on the third floor of a building with exactly one working lift (which frequently stopped at every floor uninvited), had a culture of “flexible timing”—which really meant “come in before lunch, if possible.” By 10:47 AM, only four people had arrived: Sonal had her headphones on and was busy typing ferociously, probably fighting with a vendor over Google Sheets. Tapan was slouched over his MacBook, staring at an empty…

    The Accidental Wedding Planner

    Rohan Khurana 1 Aditya Roy hated alarms. Especially when they rang at 7 a.m. on a Sunday — which, to him, was a crime against humanity. But this particular Sunday, the alarm wasn’t just from his phone. It was accompanied by the rickety whine of the ceiling fan in his overpriced Bengaluru apartment and the unmistakable sound of his neighbor’s new puppy barking like it was auditioning for a street performance of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Bleary-eyed and disillusioned, Adi sat up in bed, hair defying gravity, and stared blankly at the resignation letter on his laptop screen. Unsaved. Untitled. Unsent.…
