The Empty Rooms Of Jayanagar: A Story of Found Family in Bangalore (Short Stories Bangalore)

When the children fly the nest, who takes their place?

Ramesh and Sudha have done everything right. They’ve built a beautiful home in the quiet, leafy lanes of Jayanagar, raised two successful children, and settled into a peaceful, if somewhat lonely, retirement. But the silence of their large house is becoming unbearable.

On a whim, Sudha rents out their spare room to Rhea a chaotic, energetic twenty-something from Delhi navigating her first job in the city. Ramesh is horrified by her late hours and messy habits, while Sudha is quietly amused.

But when the notorious Bangalore monsoon strikes, the boundaries between landlords and tenant begin to blur. The Empty Rooms of Jayanagar is a touching, humorous story about the families we are born into, the families we choose, and how it is never too late to let a little noise back into your life.
