The Sculptor and the Sandman

A fable set in the contemporary India, a tale of passion, obsession, madness and rebellion, the story revolves around how the protagonists move in and out of madness, competing as well as caring for each other, and how their lives become inextricably twined with that of the narrator, a coconut water vendor. A tale in which episodes of frank psychosis seem more understandable and reasonable than the unbearable normality of everyday life, the tale is a grim reminder of how misunderstandings and malice work together to weave the different strands of our life and how silver linings are present in the darkest of clouds hovering over the horizon.
