About the Author

Asheesh Mamgain is a journalist hailing from bustling New Delhi, India. His life until now has been a rich tapestry of experiences and that is how he intends to keep it. He grew up in a fast-changing cosmopolitan city, with the summers spent exploring the lush Doon valley, swimming in cool streams near his grandparents’ home.

As a young journalist he traversed India from end to end; casting fishing lines into Goan waters alongside native fishermen, communing with monks in ancient monasteries soaking in centuries-old wisdom, living with the villagers protesting against the imminent submergence of their homes in the damming of River Narmada, understanding the challenges faced by the villagers living on the edge of Sundarbans, or delving into the labyrinthine alleys of old Delhi looking for culinary treasures and old havelis.

In his journalistic career he has interviewed legendary musicians of Hindustani classical music, eminent artists, literary personalities and film directors besides profiling many interesting people.

In short, he is in love with everything good in life, from music, movies, photography, fine art, tennis, long solitary walks, reading, food, cycling and good conversations.

This is his first collection of short stories to be published.

About The book

The Dream Reader

The book is a collection of 15 short stories set in a cosmopolitan city.
 In the hustle of a bustling city, countless souls tread their mundane paths day in and day out. Yet, amidst the monotony, there comes a moment in someone’s life that transcends the ordinary. These stories gather such moments, at times infusing them with a touch of magical realism.
Like when a man goes looking for a Dream Reader to decipher his recurring dream, or when a famous actor devises a plan to get some time away from the limelight. At times, it is an emotional journey – a businessman looking for salvation in the eyes of a beggar, an upper-middle-class woman trying to find strength in her housemaid and more. The stories resonate with city dwellers seeking meaning amidst the chaos, both in their surroundings and within themselves.
Often, the reader finds themselves not merely a passive observer, but an active participant, entrusted with the task of imbuing these tales with their own interpretation. These narratives belong to every urban dweller, serving as mirrors reflecting the complexities of existence and inviting contemplation on the mysteries of life in a city.
