Maximum City, Minimum Time: 15 Short Stories of Love, Loss, and Laughter in Mumbai’s Mad Rush
Maximum City, Minimum Time
takes you on an unforgettable ride through the pulsating heart of Mumbai — where dreams jostle with deadlines, heartbreak hides in traffic jams, and magic seeps through the cracks of everyday chaos. From the footpaths outside Film City to plush high-rises in Powai, from rickshaw drivers who once played the tabla to techies battling loneliness in smart homes, these fifteen stories are a tribute to the city that never hits the snooze button.
Written with raw honesty, humour, and a dash of nostalgia, each tale captures the soul of Mumbai — unpredictable, unforgiving, but always unforgettable. Whether it's a street vendor with a screenplay in his pocket, a daughter dancing her way out of tradition, or a man eating his last vada pav before emigrating, this collection explores the joys and jolts of urban life in a city that forces you to move — even when you want to stand still.
If you've ever loved, lost, hustled, or simply looked out of a local train window and wondered about the lives rushing by, this book will feel like home.
