In the vibrant city of Bangalore, a quiet restaurant becomes the setting for an evening where strangers cross paths in ways they could never imagine. At one corner table by the window, Yazhini and Naveen sit in comfortable yet ambiguous conversation. Are they old friends? Former lovers? Or something else entirely? Their relationship, marked by unspoken history, draws the attention of others, sparking curiosity, speculation, and reflection.
Around them, the restaurant fills with people from different walks of life: a group of close college friends, a father and his ambitious daughter, an old man lost in the echoes of his past, a newly arranged marriage couple unsure of how to connect, and a love-married couple struggling to keep their bond alive. Each table tells its own story, yet none of them know each other.
As the night unfolds, these strangers become unwitting mirrors for one another's hopes, fears, and hidden desires. Through laughter, silence, inner monologues, and casual conversations, they grapple with the universal themes of love, loneliness, and connection. Told with humor, warmth, and keen insight, Strangers at the Table explores the quiet yet profound ways our lives intersect, even when we think we are separate.
In a single evening, under the soft glow of restaurant lights, lives will change-not through grand gestures, but in the smallest of moments. And at the heart of it all, Yazhini and Naveen's complex, untold story weaves through every glance, every thought, leaving readers to wonder: What truly connects us?
Perfect for fans of intimate, character-driven novels, Strangers at the Table is a thought-provoking exploration of relationships, marked by beautifully crafted moments and the quiet dramas of everyday life.
""We are all strangers, until a moment reveals the stories we carry within""
A heartfelt novel that invites readers to reflect on their own relationships and the invisible threads that bind us all.
