Fifteen Months and Seven Stories by Asha Singh Gaur

 Fifteen Months and Seven Stories by Asha Singh Gaur

This book is more than a collection of real-life incidents; it is a heartfelt chronicle of navigating an extraordinary time with courage and grace. Through these deeply personal narratives, the author opens a window into the lives of individuals as they experienced isolation, adapted to the “new normal,” and discovered unexpected reservoirs of strength.

In Finding Shelter, the story of relocating amidst uncertainty reflects not only the logistical challenges of living alone during a lockdown but also the emotional solace found in familial bonds. It’s a testament to how, in times of crisis, our relationships become our greatest anchors. 

Through every story, the author delves deep into the emotional terrain of the pandemic—the anxieties of joblessness, the physical challenges of dealing with chronic illness during lockdown, and the unexpected moments of joy, like video calls with family or a husky’s calming presence. These anecdotes, such as the struggle to remove a ring from the swollen finger or the bittersweet realization of how painkillers became a reluctant ally, resonate deeply with anyone who lived through this time.

Fifteen Months and Seven Stories is not just a record of events; it is an emotional archive of what it means to endure, to adapt, and to find hope when the world seems to stand still. It’s a mirror reflecting our own experiences, a reminder that we were not alone, and a celebration of the resilience that defines the human spirit.
