Tilted Mirrors

This book is an English translation of the original Hindi work, तिरछे आईने।

Tilted Mirrors is not just a love story. It is the story of voices that are often silenced and relationships that society rejects simply because they appear different. The novel follows the journey of a teenager who is struggling with the questions rising within him. He wants to understand himself, to find someone who feels the same way, and to know whether his love is as pure as anyone else’s. Through the silence of homes, the gaze of society, and the complexities of relationships, the story explores a kind of love that must first struggle before it can be accepted. At times it feels like the innocent love of a simple heart, and at other times it becomes the cry of a wounded soul. In the end, the story compels the reader to look within themselves. It does not accuse anyone. It simply places a mirror before the reader — tilted perhaps, but not false.
