Nothing is as it seems, yet it is more so . . .

Anil Yadav chooses to tell stories that force you to stretch your emotions, question the world of privilege as the characters begin to find their way somewhere deep within you.
In Courtesans Don’t Read Newspapers a reporter faces the moral dilemma of reporting a conspiracy threatening the existence of a colony of prostitutes. Lord Almighty. . . is a socio-political take on the condition of those on the fringes of society where a riot can both destroy and save them. In The Magic of Certain Old Clothes vanity is explored very subtly through secondhand clothes. The Folk Singer’s Swan Song tells the story of a singer where his music gets inextricably linked to politics and power. R.J. Saheb’s Radio delves through the themes of past and present, the rich and the poor, The road to the other world is a poignant tale of loss, a story of a memory.
Strange things make complete sense in Yadav’s stories. You imagine that this is a different world, but it’s the same world with a deeper, sharper, more focused lens.
