Farfetched! by Debasis Mohapatra is a collection of twelve stories born from quiet, everyday moments. Rooted in careful observation, the stories explore ordinary life - forgotten ambitions, the gap between memory and the present, and silences no one speaks of. Rather than grand narratives, the book offers sincerity and honesty, with the author openly acknowledging his limitations as a writer, finding freedom in that vulnerability. It's a work for readers who believe that paying close attention to the mundane is itself a creative act - a reminder that even the most ordinary observations are worth holding onto.
