Deepak Jaisinghani is a Chartered Accountant by qualification, Businessman and a Visiting Faculty by vocation and an Author by passion. His debut book The Girl Who Did Not Break is the result of a serendipitous mix of obligation and opportunism. Since time immemorial, he had harbored the desire of writing a book for years in his heart. When the perfect opportunity presented itself in the form of a nationwide lockdown, he got to work and penned a narrative he didn't know would mutate into the first part of a trilogy.

He is currently working on the sophomore volume of Arc of a Soldier trilogy. When not reading, writing or dancing in the jungle to earn a livelihood, he could be found traveling the Indian landscape or bantering with his friends.

Hilarious, but also thought-provoking in its own distinguished style. I read Backman's Anxious People back in 2021 and I vowed never to pick up any of this author's books again, wondering why the hell is he so popular? It never occurred to me that ma ...more

A brief but touching memoir of the authoress' bittersweet relationship with her mother-in-law. Reading it immediately after Strayed's fictional short story This Telling, I could see where the ideas explored in that story emerged from. Her chartbuster ...more

This was an unexpectedly riveting story about teenage pregnancy and adoption. Probably the best in Out of Line collection.

At times, I found this authoress' writing fascinating, but mostly I tried to bear it. I understand why this short story is so highly rated, but it just didn't work for me. Her language was something I chose to tolerate as this was just a short story, ...more

Apparently this authoress has got a distinctive style. She writes world war historical fiction with women protagonists inspired by real-life characters, and her plots more often than not cover two timelines, including this short story. Also, all of h ...more

I liked this story much more than I'd imagined. These short stories are essentially meant for a reader to sample an author's writing and check out their full-length novels if it works for them. In this regard, I think the story fulfilled its potentia ...more

“I had a teacher once, grade school somewhere. Philippines, I think, because she always wore a big white hat. So it was somewhere hot. I was always twice the size of the other kids, and she used to say to me: count to ten before you get mad, Reacher. And I've counted way past ten on this one. Way past.”
