Come tigers with your paws I have my thorns. Wander into a dark and wondrous world of emotions in Rafaa Dalvi’s flash fiction collection – Chasing Nirvana. His stories are soothing, yet scintillating, explore the macabre and the supernatural, with a mix of the common and the special. Witness the rise and fall of a rock legend, a cat-and-mouse game between a cop and a serial killer, and the last meeting between two lovers. How far would a person go to understand a criminal’s psyche? Can someone find their soulmate through a one-night stand? What plan does an author hatch to punish the literary agent who rejected his manuscript? In this book are stories for every season and every reason. The heady mix of human depravity, satire, tragedy, revenge and drama makes these stories an essential cocktail of emotions. Review: “Breezy, Flippant, Poignant... Tales of pleasurable wickedness.” -Salil Desai, author “Dalvi's voice is important because he chooses to tell stories that others would normally shy away from. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories.” -Bhaskar Chattopadhyay, author “Gripping short-stories. I am both intrigued and scared by his plot twists. Thrilled to have read this book.” -Sanhita Baruah, author “Rafaa Dalvi is a flash fiction expert.” -T.F. Carthick, author “Taut, propulsive, riveting, Rafaa’s mesmerizing stories pack a big punch. Chasing Nirvana has been carefully crafted for maximum impact. A highly compelling read.” -Vivek Banerjee, author
