Collected here are the early stories of Kiran Bhat, stories written between his college days and his backpacking experiences around the world. The stories of a young writer in between Western and Asian culture, stretching largely across the United States, Europe, and India, these stories demonstrate Bhat's commitment to stylistic experimentation, artistic growth, and getting into the heads of people quite different from himself, all the while remaining true to his voice.
These are my first set of journals, written mostly from 2011 to 2014. Experimental and overtly pensative in nature, these collections of thought experiments, fledgling essays, and prose poems reveal the workings of a global thinker in development.
