If Only

'"If Only is a mosaic of longing, memory, and human connection. Through poems, short stories, and reflective essays, the book journeys across different forms of love - love that survives the scars of Partition, love that struggles against the fading memories of dementia, and love that blooms beyond physical limitations.

Tender, philosophical, and imaginative, If Only invites readers to pause and ask the question that echoes through every life: What might have been, if only..."

- Amitabh Kant, Former Sherpa, G 20, Government of India and Former CEO, Niti Aayog

"If Only is a literary mosaic of emotions, memories, and quiet reflections. Moving effortlessly between tender love stories, philosophical essays, and lyrical poems, the book captures the many shades of human experience-from the innocence of youth to the wisdom of maturity. Whether describing the delicate tremor of a nuptial night, the spiritual aura of inspiring personalities, or the subtle moods hidden in the days of the week, each page invites the reader into a world where ordinary moments become profound. This collection is not merely read-it is felt."
