Dark Water : A Novel

Dark Water is the poignant tale of individuals who have been compelled by fate to reside on different self-made islands. The narrative constructs a new world by connecting various worlds, not just in terms of different forms or colours but also in terms of holding unique identities. Through the character Saket. you encounter reflections of many idealistic Sakets, while the character Deep Dr reveals the struggles of numerous conflicted Deep Dis. The story carries an underlying sentiment of self-abandonment for the sake of others, compelling deep contemplation. Woven from the threads of simple, natural events, this narrative is not merely a tale of human relationships but also a living depiction of the present.
