Kishore Asthana follows the footsteps of Chetan Bhagat, another alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, in the field of fiction. Originally from Lucknow, he spent over 26 years in Muscat and returned to India in 2002. Kishore Asthana writes articles, stories and poems in both English and Hindi. His articles have been published in The Times of India, The Sunday Guardian, Covert Magazine, Mint and Muscat Daily. This is his first collection of short stories. Tasnim & Other Stories were written in different places at different times and they reflect the loves, trials and triumphs of a very diverse set of men and women, who come alive in the reader's heart in an exceptional way. Those who travel with them will be transported to different worlds. In some, they may find themselves. In others, they may wish they had found themselves. There is laughter in these pages and serious thought, adventure beyond the normal, magic and exceptional romance. Beyond all, there is life in all its splendor... - from Amzon
