Zero to Infinity

'India is a land that lives in several centuries at once. From the sterile, chilled glass towers of Bengaluru's Silicon Valley to the ancient, dust-hewn ruins of Nalanda, the struggle is the same: how do we hold onto our soul in a world that wants to turn it into data?

In this evocative collection of twenty-four stories, the boundaries between the ancient and the digital dissolve. A software engineer discovers his monsoon-predicting AI has developed a sense of regret. A tribal leader summons a tiger to a modern courtroom to testify for a law older than the Constitution. A blind spice-librarian in Kerala reads futures in the scent of cardamom, while an elderly cafe owner in Mumbai serves one last cup of chai against the roar of a rising metropolis.

Moving from the high-octane grit of Mumbai's local trains to the magical realism of the Kashmiri walnut orchards, Zero to Infinity is a breathtaking map of the Indian psyche. These are the "unfiltered" stories of a people navigating the friction of change, proving that while the world may move at the speed of light, the truth still resides in the slow, the sacred, and the small.
