| Summary, etc. | Life isn’t flawless—it’s a patchwork of glittering highs, messy lows and the mundane in between, where even the best-laid plans can veer off course.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Almost Perfect, but Mostly Not is a collection of poignant and witty short stories that uncover the cracks beneath seemingly perfect lives—and the truths that emerge from them.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A man on the brink of marriage spots the love of his life on the streets of London. A successful man contemplates his date with death. A struggling artist does not want to part with the only painting that could transform his fortunes. A young woman, who has it all, finds her world crumbling. A gay man finds that his love is forbidden. A former banker, once uber-wealthy, is now a driver and has a life-changing encounter during his first week on the job.<br/><br/><br/><br/>From picture-perfect relationships gone wrong to careers derailed by a misstep, these stories delve into the universal struggles with identity, love, fear and belonging. With heart and a touch of irony, Vasudha Sahgal celebrates life’s imperfections in their chaotic, bittersweet charm. If you’ve ever laughed at your own mistakes or found joy in life’s curveballs, this book is for you. After all, who needs perfect when you can have perfectly imperfect!<br/><br/>(https://rupapublications.co.in/book/almost-perfect-but-mostly-not-a-collection-of-short-stories) |
