Three women look back on their lives and speak about how the society forced guilt on them to cover its own shortcomings. Pranav Mishra writes.
Nandini dreams of going back to England from where she has recently returned. Sid dreams of a life with Nandini who wants to keep distance. The inexorable boundary between them melts away sometimes, but only to leave the air hazy, turbulent and devoid of settlement. Merchant of Dreams, a short story by Pranav Mishra, captures cultural transitions and ambiguities urban, ambitious Indians go through.
