 tena tyaktena bhunjitha by Neha Srivastava

It is not just a spiritual proposition but a creative one—echoing through stories where pleasure, pain, violence, memory, and redemption entwine in arresting detail.

Neha’s stories are not written to please; they are written to facilitate our confrontation with the ugliness beneath civility, the complexity behind simple gestures, and the tension in silence. Whether we’re standing on the banks of a river with a toddler in Mukti, or inside the claustrophobic reality of hunger as a game in The Game, or witnessing witnessing grief wrapped in wit in Orange Sun, each narrative challenges the reader to look deeper into the human experience shared here. 

What sets these stories apart is their visual ambition, a cinematic clarity that seeks to expose emotional rawness. There’s a screenwriter’s sensibility to the images conjured here, a poet’s eye in the description, and a mother’s ear in the emotional beats. Neha doesn’t just write women’s or children’s stories or social commentary—she writes to explore human complexity.

Highly recommended!
