Climbing the corporate ladder can be difficult. There’s the shame of sneezing on your boss, leaky faucets and sometimes the barriers of even finding employment or even being able to do your actual job are enough to drive you crazy if you let it. These seven fiction shorts all center on making a living and the challenges that come with it.

Deepa Didi is a quiet, introspective narrative that delicately explores the profound, often unnoticed connections that form in the routine of daily life, especially in a city as bustling and indifferent as Mumbai.


The story contrasts the lives of Abhi, a young man adrift in the monotony of urban existence, and Deepa, his housekeeper, who comes each day to clean up after him.

Though they physically occupy the same apartment at different times, the space they inhabit is experienced in vastly different ways—Abhi rushing through his days, and Deepa finding rare moments of peace in the solitude of his empty home. This subtle contrast becomes the backdrop for a story about loneliness, the passage of time, and the quiet, unspoken ways we shape each other’s lives—often without even realizing it.
