Elias sees the world differently. After the sudden loss of his mother, the vibrant colors of life dim into muted shades—what he calls the grey filter. In the quiet of his Chennai apartment and later in the anonymity of Pune, he learns to navigate a life where love does not always mean understanding, and survival does not always feel like living.
Through silence, solitude, and fragile connections, Elias wrestles with the weight of expectations, the fractures of family, and the elusive hope of belonging. His journey is not one of dazzling triumphs, but of subtle victories: noticing what others miss, enduring when the world feels too loud, and discovering that even muted lives can hold extraordinary meaning.
Tender, haunting, and deeply human, The Grey Filter is a portrait of grief, resilience, and the search for peace in a world that demands too much brightness.

Sameer Parashar
Sameer Parashar writes with a keen eye for the silences that define human experience. His work often explores solitude, memory, and the fragile threads of connection that hold people together. In The Grey Filter, he turns his gaze to the ways grief reshapes perception and how survival can take on quiet, unexpected forms.
A thoughtful observer of everyday life, Sameer captures the beauty in muted moments and the weight of what remains unsaid. His stories invite readers to notice the overlooked, to linger in the in-between spaces where resilience quietly grows.
When he isn’t writing, he is reading widely, reflecting deeply, and finding meaning in life’s quieter corners. The Grey Filter continues his body of work that candidly and compassionately illuminates the complexities of being human.
