Background

note

This project was initially a part of my Master's programme. It was later continued as an independent project.

This speculative fiction follows the lives of two Indian women, Mira and Maitri on the island of Jingoy. It speculates how people's lives could change during floods, droughts and other climate calamities. It depicts a butterfly effect, seeping into the complexities of the society.

The outcome is a novella.
