Dark Luxe - Coming Soon

When we think of luxury we always think of dazzle, but we never even touch upon the darkness that hides behind this luxe. It is always about glam and glitz. Behind this razzle-dazzle, there is another life. A life filled with lust, hatred, jealousy, anger. Luxury remains a silent witness to that darkness. Luxury is just a silent witness to the depth of darkness of human hearts. Dark Luxe is not about dreams, it is about nightmares. It is about those realities that safely hide behind the veil of luxe. These 13 short stories are from the darkest, bottomless pits of hell. These first-hand tales of horror are by stuff luxury is made of, straight from their heart, leaving a trail of blood. Mr Ratan Tata has given his blessings for the book and Dr Bibek Debroy has written the foreword.

I realized with dazzle, comes the darkness – Yin and Yang. It is the world's way of maintaining the order. After a lot of research and interviews, I came across shocking tales of death, blood and gore – associated with luxury. I realized we are only limited by our imagination to fathom the extent a man can go in his pursuit of darkness. Luxe or dazzle acts as a cover, a shield to keep this dark life of us humans at bay. From the glossy magazine pages with "price on request" tag, Dark Luxe takes readers to the other end of the spectrum. These horror stories are pure work of fiction and are crafted as tales from the proverbial horse's mouth. They are shared (in the stories) by the most sought-after and elite products that the crème-de- la-crème brands showcase to their exclusive patrons. These are the stories that buried deep into the Mediterranean or in the sanctum-sanctorum of our hearts. These stories tell you the tale of how we humans are all the same in our core, dominated by one or many of the seven deadly sins – lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Whether it is the Princess Cut Tiffany ring or the Rolls Royce Phantom or the Rolex watch or the luxury yacht or a Dom Perignon vintage champagne – all of them will share their tales as a silent witness that are far from the dazzle they exude. These short stories about The Dark Life of Luxe are figments of my imagination but not limited by it.
