Expiry Dates  (English, Hardcover, Dr. Lakshmoji Tejomurtula)

In a world obsessed with beginnings and celebrations of only arrivals, this philosophical novel Expiry Dates meditates on transitional and twilight phases; not with despair, but with depth. This is a story of phases we all live through: the innocent boldness of youth, the restless pursuit of identity, the quiet compromises of adulthood, and the graceful reckonings of old age. From a youth finding their own voice in a world of expectations, to a visionary navigating rejection and reinvention, to octogenarians reflecting on passion, compassion, and comprehension… this novel captures the essence of how everything we hold dear eventually changes form, fades, or lets go. But in each ending lies a silent renewal. Blending gentle humour, poetic insight, and deeply human moments, Expiry Dates explores the beauty in life’s impermanence, and the truth that while everything may carry an expiry date, meaning does not. Tender, thought-provoking, and quietly powerful, this is not just a story you read. It’s one you remember.
