    Books | Launch

    Join us for the book launch of Tadow by Shalaka Kulkarni on April 13 at Atta Galatta, Bangalore!

    Tadow is an evocative collection of 67 flash fiction stories that delve into the synchronicity of human life, weaving narratives that are deeply personal yet universally resonant. 

    Inspired by a creative experiment where each story is shaped by five random words, the book explores themes of identity, resilience, love, and the myriad complexities of modern India.

    Expect an evening of heartfelt storytelling, engaging conversations, and a celebration of the written word in the warm literary haven of Atta Galatta. 

    Be there to experience Tadow come to life!
