Short Story
Timeless Calcutta
Timeless Calcutta was the author’s first attempt at writing. It is an inspiring short story, tugging at the heart of kindness, reminiscing his early days in one of the greatest melting pots on the planet -Calcutta. Grab a coffee, slide down the couch & enjoy the read.

"Engrossing, well paced, must read short. Having known Jinu since our school days, I can say that he has definitely lived up to expectations of our English literature teachers. I could not put down the phone till I completely read the story, and ended up texting Jinu to find out more about the plot. Simple aspects of life magically woven together as a short story....."
