Mildly Married, Wildly Distracted
A novel about almost-affairs, unread messages, and the quiet horror of routine.
He’s married. He’s loyal. He updates decks and reheats dinner without complaint.
But then she appears—charming, unreadable, and seated two rows away on Zoom.
Inside his head, two voices won’t shut up.
Bhola, the obedient idealist, clings to vows, routines, and calendar invites.

Inside his head, two voices won’t shut up.
Bhola, the obedient idealist, clings to vows, routines, and calendar invites.
Kalia, the uninvited anarchist, romanticizes eye contact and defends every moral failure as "just feelings."
What follows isn’t an affair. It’s worse.
It’s longing curated through late-night messages, silence, and imagined eye contact.
This is not a romance. It’s an inner audit.
Of guilt, temptation, and the small betrayals we almost commit—just enough to stay innocent, but never unchanged.

In a world obsessed with optics and outcomes, he was once the golden boy with spreadsheets tight, timelines tighter, and dignity intact. But when corporate applause fades into algorithmic silence, and rejection emails outnumber groceries, what’s left of a man who did everything ‘right’?
Set in the quiet wreckage of a layoff, this story is an honest, darkly humorous exploration of modern masculinity, middle-class pride, and the fragile architecture

Set in the quiet wreckage of a layoff, this story is an honest, darkly humorous exploration of modern masculinity, middle-class pride, and the fragile architecture of a family held together by Maggi, muscle memory, and muted laughter.
Between unpaid EMIs, polite breakdowns, and childhood drawings of escape routes, he navigates the invisible toll of joblessness in a world that measures worth by LinkedIn updates and buzzwords.
At once tender and biting, this story captures the slow erosion of self-worth and the absurdity, resilience, and unexpected warmth that somehow survive it.
